ear infection

Maddie as a bad ear just her left one it full of brown wax and is red inside just brought some ear drops from pets at home save taking her to vets but if it contiunes I will take her. Has anyones dog had a similar problem my moms dog has same in left ear.

Ear drops seem to be working but can still her clicking when i rub her ear and last night she yelped when i massaged it for her so think i'll take her vet anyway cuz it seems to be hurting her now where as before when i massaged ear she showed relief and seemed to like it. She as had problem with ear before vet just gave me cream to clean inside of ear with cotton wool thats why i thought i'd try drops 1st £3.99 for same thing as vet would give me seemed pointless but will take her cuz she in pain with it

The vets is definately your best bet - Jade is very prone to ear infections - shes had about 4 in the past 12 months and the drops the vet gives me clears it up pretty quickly. We do have to chase her around the house though to get the drops in!

couldn't get her in tonight so taking her tomorrow noticed a build up of more brown wax and she shaking her head she ok in herself tho eating and happy

It can't be that bad then - when Jade's is really bad she doesn't eat and has a face like a slapped !!!! Let us know how she gets on.xx

sounds like possibly a yeast infection. Could be mites but I would think she would have it in both ears if it was and they usually tend to pick it up from cats or another pet they are around frequently that has it. My 1st thought is with the yeast infection though. Vets like to just prescribe antibiotics and/or drops but you have to take a look at a number of things in your dogs life including diet.

Hi it is an infection vet said ear sore inside so gave her injection and she got ear drops 2 lots of tablets and cream to clean ear twice a day she got to go back next week. If it still there might test for allergies but this problem is common in staffs this time of year. While she was they vet checked her anal gland to maddies face was a picture when finger went up bum

Sounds just like jake he had the same

any update ?

Maddies ear seems to but better now with tablets and ear drops from vet will know more when i take her vets next week x

Hope shes feeling better.xx

Hi Maddie went back to vets on tueday i felt ear was alot better but vet said inside was still sore so gave her some more tablets. She got to go back again this tuesday but i have noticed this week she yelping as i clean it which wasn't happening the 1st week after drops and tablets so i am concerned at moment. She lets me clean it tho whereas my moms dog got same and she as to chase her to clean ear lol

vet said maddies ear is better and sometimes cleaning it everyday can make it sore but they did tell me to clean it everyday but now once a week. She got to be weaned off tablets and go back in 10 days

Glad to hear she's better. Such a worry when they are not right and the simplest thing can get out of hand in no time.

Murdoch has had ear infections a couple of times, but just drops from the vets sorted it out, with no cleaning or tablets or anything. It cleared up within the week both times - phew!
