From what i've read so far on this it seems that the Yeast infection will manifest itself in the body and then start to seep out. Normal Yogurt, while it might be good, wont contain enough GOOD bacterial agents to force the Yeast out of its system/kill the yeast.
They way i kind of see it and how it's been explained on numerous Vet website is something like this.
The yeast has total control of the dog right now. But feeding the dog a high dosage of GOOD Bacterial agents will make the Yeast compete for the space in the dog. Because of the huge influx of GOOD bacterial agents there will be no room for the yeast and they will die off. To stop the dog from getting sick you need to detox it to get rid of all the dead yeast and by-products created by them.
Once that has been done then you can successfully treat the yeast infection in other areas which only have it because it was in the dogs system to begin with.
I dont know if that makes much sense to you but it sounds pretty logical to me ;)
