Smelly (yeasty) ears that became tender to touch and a real bother for him. He would scratch and yelp at the pain, nothing seemed to help.
I have had him treated (with external drops into each ear) a number of times and he seems to get better at first. After a couple of weeks the vets had declared him infection free, only to have him re-infect within the following month or so.
Most recently I had him put on steroids (orally - one per day) for the swelling and antibiotics with a steroid topically (twice a day in each ear).
Back to the vet hospital yesterday and he has a clean bill of health. Have to wean him off the steroids over the next few weeks and keeping my fingers crossed this time that he does not get reinfected.
Anyone else out there experiencing the same problems? How did you treat your dog? Was the treatment successful? How do you keep his / her ears infection free going forward?
