Vet, Dog ear question
Posted on 9/10/18 at 12:24 pm

Our little mix (Chiweenie) has some stinky black discharge in her ear. We cleaned it out with some cotton balls and some cleaner from the Pet store. I read on line that a mixture on Apple Cider vinegar and water 50:50 can be used. Swab the ear clean with a few times a day will help. Started last night. Could be yeast infection?
Any ideas or remedies?

I mix 50% white vinegar with rubbing alcohol and squirt with syringe about 3 CC's. Usually have to do it about every 2 months. This is on a malti-poo

if the ear itself is reddish or pink, it is infected. Cleaning can help prevent and keep ears clean, but if you never really clean them and they get past a certain point, a vet will need to flush them, treat them, and medicate

If it stinks, I assume it's gonna get infected and clean it. I just use the ear cleaning stuff the vet gave me

Almost positive it’s this
My dog had one, and it was exactly as you describe.
Clean them really good and keep an eye on it and it will go away. Could get medicated drops from a vet if you wanted

Thank you all for the replies.

Google purple stuff for dog ears. I’ve had a lot of success to prevent ear infections with it. If you’re past that then the vet will need to determine if it’s a yeast infection or something else. If it’s yeast we’ve always used baytril

Ordered, again thanks for the help here.

I use the stuff from the vets office. My female lab ears get this regularly. If you don't get the long cotton que tips you are pissing in the wind. You have to get down to the bottom of the ear canal. My dog hates it but it has to be done. Be careful though not to go to deep. A bottle usually last about 3 months, cheaper than a vet visit.

Agreed
This is all we use now

Agree also. I think I read about it on here as well and it is amazing.

Could be yeast infection?

straight HP or mixed with water?

Just HP. Push it in slowly tilt his head to drain a little and dab with cotton. When the infection was in full bloom we would use the syringe to siphon out the "chunks" and residual HP.
