I Have a Dog

Please help my English setter has a horrible ear infection. Not even antibiotics from the vet help. I've tried vinager and peroxide! I hate seeing her in pain and itchy. It's not mites either it's an infection! Please help!

Yep.. back to the vet and different meds. You could also try bathing her ear 3 times/day with an antiseptic solution..

I've been to the vet 3 times. You mean like an Epsom salt solution type thing?

Kimmerrose · 31-35, F

It's in her ears not the outside

@Kimmerrose: Just inside or deep inside?

Kimmerrose · 31-35, F

Both. It goes all the way I clean it every day and they still are black by the next day and smelly

Clean it with a fairly strong antiseptic solution/3 times/day AND go see your vet again.. Different germs need different meds. These aren't working so get different ones..

I even divided up a cow antibiotic into the right proportions and it didn't help (I'm a large animal vet tec

It might be a fungal infection. Anti biotics don't work on them at all.. Go to a pharmacy and get some tinea or anti fungal ointment and try that..

Neither do most antiseptics work on fungal infections...

Kimmerrose · 31-35, F

Should I just coat it thin with a qtip

walabby · 61-69, M

Yep. Try that first and go from there..

Kimmerrose · 31-35, F

I'll try it I'm at a loss

walabby · 61-69, M

Good luck.. :/

Thank you
