Ask the Vet About Ear Infections in Dogs & Cats

Hey! You can try using Zymox Otic Enzymatic Solution to see if that helps his ears! If he doesn't improve, I recommend bringing him to his vet to get checked out, they might prescribe a topical medication for the ears depending on how they look! It is possible that his ear infection is due to yeast and not bacteria so an oral antibiotic might not help much. -Dr. Lindsay Butzer https://www.1800petmeds.com/zymox+otic+enzymatic+solution+with+hydrocortisone-prod10622.html

Hey! Usually when a dog has ear mites, you will see a lot of black debri in the ears! I do recommend that you bring your puppy to your vet to get checked out to know for sure and then they can prescribe the proper medication depending on the results. -Dr. Lindsay Butzer

Hey! So when it comes to yeast infection issues, regular cleaning is very important. You can make a homemade cleaning solution with 1 part white vinegar to 1 part water. The vinegar's acidity helps to inhibit the growth of yeast. However, please remember, if your pet's ears are red, swollen or seem painful, don't use this method as it can cause discomfort. A healthy diet can also help. Yeast thrives on sugars, so a diet low in sugar and carbohydrates can help control yeast growth. Lastly, there are some over-the-counter treatments available, including antifungal creams and ointments. But remember, these should only be used under the guidance of your vet. Keep in mind that chronic ear infections can also be a sign of an underlying issue, such as allergies or a compromised immune system. So, it's important to work with your vet to determine the root cause and treat that as well. Remember, while you can provide some relief at home, chronic conditions like this really do need a vet's attention to ensure your pet is getting the best possible care.
