Hi Christie-
Did the vet recommend benedryl? I have given one of my dogs benedryl on a few different occasions when he has had an allergic reaction to something in the yard. It has worked very well with no side effects. It was recommended by an emergency vet clinic. But, I’m not sure I’d want to give it on a regular basis without consulting with a vet.

Another thing I started doing was regularly cleaning their ears with Zymox Ear Cleanser. I have labs with floppy ears. They tend to get a little dirty and stinky. The cleanser has helped immensely and they have not had any infections. Zymox also has a solution for infected ears, but I have not used it and wouldn’t unless I was sure they had an infection.

Here is a link: https://www.zymox.com/zymox-ear-care I bought it at our local feed store. It probably can be found online as well. Good luck!
