No problem, I am already known for peeing outside.

You will need to get a sidecar and I want to be a Dobermann. ;>)

BTW.... We have tried that med you suggested for about 6 weeks and there hasn’t been any improvement with his chronic ear infection. We changed his diet from raw to a high quality kibble.... he doesn’t like it, but he eats it. I tossed his big pillow and I am at a loss as to what to do.

The vet said it could be environmental, but it’s not like we can simply move. LOL

I truly love the GSD breed, but should I ever get another dog, I am going back to Dobermanns. I never once had any of this nonsense with raising Dobermanns for 30 years... and my last guy lived for over 13 years.

Has the vet cultured ear scrapings for yeast or bacteria?

Yeast is almost always the problem.

Has his thyroid been checked?
[do that -first- if you have not already!]

“Environmental” is too catch all.

Did he mention systemic allergies?
You could try 25 mg of Benadryl and see if that stops the itching.

Do his ears stink and if so, what do they smell like?
[our vet can tell just by smell alone]
