RE: [pyrnet] Ear Infections

Hi Christine,

 

Patrick had the same exact problem when he was a puppy.

 

He was plagued with ear infections from 3 months old all the way up to a year. We cleaned his ear with the solution every day (twice actually), used the drops and made certain his ears weren't getting wet. It didn't help... We changed his food numerous times, tried distilled water and even sent him to my sisters house for a week to see if it was something in the house...

 

I then tried an anti-fungal cream (athletes foot cream). It was gone after 1 week and he has not had an ear infection since...

 

Worth a try!

 

Sean and Patrick

Hi,

My 10 month old Pyr now has his fourth ear infection.  So, here we go with the antiobiotic ear drops, again.

I clean his ears as per the vet's advice with a cotton ball and ear solution, regularly.  Is there anything I can do to try to prevent the infections?  The infection hurts him and because of the pain, he misbehaves more.  I want to save him from this pain.  Any ideas?

Thanks,
Christine and Cody
