Itchy ears

Hello everyone. I rescued two bonded Basset boy puppies the end of June. They are 5 months old. One of them has itchy ears. And they both have hot spots. The lady that I got them from was giving them dairy and peanut butter that wasn’t natural. And the dog food she was giving them made their feces black looking and it was very foul smelling. They have had their first set of shots and have been dewormed as well.

I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for dry, itchy ears and any other recommendations would be helpful. I’ve never had Bassets before. And all recommendations are helpful. Food recommendations are also welcomed. I am feeding them Purina One Plus for large breed puppy with glucosamine.

I am getting ready to put them on a probiotic supplement and they have been getting flea baths every 10 days. I just want them to feel better. I also have ear cleaning solution and make sure to clean their ears once they start smelling a little off.

Thank you everyone in advance!

Limping

Hey, just seeing if anyone has ran into this problem with their Bassets. She has been limping mildly the past 2 days and I checked her paw, there’s nothing in there, nor any cuts from what I can see. I moved her leg, pressed her paw, and folded her paw and she had no reaction to all of those. She has also not been licking her paw or whining or seeming in pain at all. I talked to the vet when I first started seeing her limp 2 days ago. They said not to worry about it, but maybe do a cold compress. I have been doing the cold compress a couple times a day since for 5-10 minutes and it doesn’t seem to be helping. This morning she was limping a lot more noticeably now and I called our vet and a couple other clinics and neither of them could get her in today or tomorrow. There is one I could get into on Thursday for a full day stay. I am not really wanting to take her to the emergency vet unless I have to. She is also 8 months old.
