| Common Treatments
(The Never Ending Cycle) Dog has a visible cream-to-dark waxy, odiferous discharge. Vet performs ear exam and will generally prescribe an antibiotic & an ear cleaning solution. The antibiotic is to treat a bacterial infection. As the bacteria decreases, moisture & inflammation causes the ear canal to become a breeding ground for a yeast infection. The yeast infection causes an odor and discharge. The vet may then perform additional tests, including cultures, radiography, allergy tests, etc. |
