My name is Nikki and I have a 6 year old Beagle. Like most people who love animals but most of all dogs, know that they're like family. Unfortunately she has developed what I believe to be a yeast infection. I've looked up the symptoms online and she has just about every one of them. I've taken her to the vet at least 4 times already within 3 months and they havent been able to do anything for me besides take my money. Over $800.00 charged on my carecredit card right now, I'm maxed out and dont know what to do. My last resort is to bring her to a shelter but I cant bring myself to do it. I'd like to know if ANYONE can help me or is there any financial help for me people like me in this situation???? I dont know what else to do and I don't want to give up after 6, going on 7 years of having her. Someone please help

Thank you,
Nikki

First, can I ask you what she's eating? The majority of yeast problems stem from food allergies.

What does her diet consist of? you might also consider going to another vet. This site may be of help: Holistic Treatments for Curing Your Dogs Ear Yeast Infection

yeast on her skin?? There is alot on the net about it- The whole thing in a nutshell is her immune system so I would get a good enzyme supplement and get her immune system up. I use Botanical Dog - Botanical Cat: By Ailments, Candida

What are her symptoms? I would get a new vet its not that hard and yes food could definatly be an issue have you changed her diet or tried that yet??

She has dry rough skin (patches missing), an odor to her even if I give her a bath, constantly scratching and chewing on herself. I actually found out alot of information on Articles: Dog Health - Cat Health - Pet Health - Horse Health - HumanHealth | NZYMES.COM (Ar). Everything thats on that site is EXACTLY what my dog has and is doing right now. So, since I dont agree at all with my vet, I'm scared to go to someone new now. I'm at the point where I'm going to try changing her food and get her on the pills and follow the information from that site to see if I can get her better from there. Thank you for the advice, I really appreciate it.
