Why are my dog's ears red, itchy, smelly, and she pukes often?

Question

My dog has one ear that is red and itchy. It also has a foul odour. A couple months ago this happened with both ears but the vet wasn't very clear with what happened with her. Also my dog pukes quite often even though we keep her on the same kibble, only feeding her Cesar meat or meat with no salt, veggies and fruit. Her diet is very strict. She also has diahrea often too.

The two problems (gastrointestinal signs and ear canal infection/inflammation) may be related as both of them may be caused by an allergy. Most common ones are usually caused by food , flea and environmental causes. Ear canal inflammation, infection can be treated easily by applying some medicated (antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications) ear drops. If the problem keeps coming back, allergic disease can be investigated with some skin and blood tests.
