I usually get yeast infections, but occasionally I get a bacterial infection. I always get greasy ear drops that I hate.
I hear that labs are prone to ear infections because of their floppy ear shape that decreases the air circulation in/out of the ear. I bet Jersey Joe's mom would be able to help you out more since she's a groomer!
My ears get red and inflamed a lot. The vet has never classified them as a staph infection, so I don't know if this post will help. May help others though, for what my vet calls allergies or yeast infection.
My mom buys Zymox. The vet gave it to us the first time after he gave me a shot and some meds. After that we learned that 1800petmeds has it cheeper. If you don't beleive me, read the comments people have posted at that web site. It truly is a terrific fix for my ears. Just one or two treatments and my ears are great! I cannot say enough about it.
