smelly ears

Question
I've had my dog for about a year or two and ever since 5 months ago he's ears have smelled, so we took him to the vet and they gave us medicine we finally ran out but it never worked, what else can we use to make them stop smelling?

Answer
Most puppies with ear problems either have ear mites or they are allergic to their food and they get a yeast infection in the ear.  I would recommend takling him to a vet that know something about ears and have him treated properly.  When the infection is gone, the smell will go away, too.
