Jason,
Here is an old thread I dug up with the search function, there are more as well, just click search and I used "yeast infections" and then clicked on "newer than 1 year"
(I am not great with the search function so maybe someone else will have better key words)
i have gone to the vets they gave me oti calm to clean them and i also have oti max i just found today that i could use i just hate so put a bunch of chemicals in her ears?

Yeah, sometimes one doesnt work and the other one does. I don't think that as chemicals go these cleaners are anything too bad though.
They aren't. My dog gets his ears flushed every week to prevent the yeast infections he's prone to getting due to allergies. He doesn't enjoy the process of me messing with his ears but it hasn't harmed him.

Sarah can correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think you can always figure out what the cause is and the different products are effective on different problems so thats why you may have to try more then one.

As for the cause of the ear infection...reoccuring ear infections *can* be a symptom of allergies, floppy-eared dogs are more prone to them, dogs that swim a lot can get them. If a vet is merely "eyeballing" the ear he won't necessarily know exactly what is present and how to treat it.
With ear infections it's really important that the vet swabs the ear and looks at it under the scope to see what's there. Dogs can have yeast, bacteria, or a combo of both and that dictates which medications are used.
