This is due to a parasite (protozoan) infection. It can only be attacked by medications at a very specific point in their life cycle. Medication can work during what is called the "free phase," when the parasite is multiplying. Anti-parasitics medicine should be of the antibiotic type, specifically for anaerobes. Ask your local veterinarian or pet store for a prescription. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
