Why is my dog still scratching ears after yeast infection treatment?

Question

Mia had a yeast infection in her ears, we treated it for two weeks with ointment from the vet, she saw the vet on the 29th of March and they said that her ears now looked normal including her ear drums. However, she’s still scratching her ears a lot. Any idea why? Pet's info: Dog | Pembroke Welsh Corgi | Female | spayed | 3 months and 3 days old | 25 lbs

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. The most common reason for scratching in the abcence of infection: allergies. It could be food related, environmental allergens, or even an allergic reaction to mites or mosquitos. Sometimes longer term treatment with the ointment, systemic medications, and mite/flea/tick prevention is needed so talk with your vet.
