My dog has fluid in ears, itching, pain. Can I treat it at home?

You should definitely not use hydrogen peroxide as it can cause serious damage to the ear, Benadryl will not help. It's probably an ear infection, often it cannot be seen from the outside. Ear infections are very common in dogs, it is usually caused by either yeast or bacterial disease. the treatment is usually simple and straightforward, you will have to take her to the vet and get the ears checked, then a prescription ear drops will be prescribed according to the infectious agent.

I'm very sorry your broke your hip and shoulder! It sounds like he may have an ear infection, and I would not recommend putting a solution of hydrogen peroxide and water in his ear. That will not help cure an ear infection, and may make the problem worse. Ear infections can be caused by bacterial, yeast, or ear mites, and Rusty needs to see a vet in order to have it diagnosed and treated. I would see if you have a friend who can take him into the vet for you to get his ears examined. It's important to have any ear infections examined and treated promptly, as leaving them untreated can lead to hearing loss.

No, I would not do this and please do not use any hydrogen peroxide in his ears. The herbal oil could be making the ear infection worse, so I would stop using that. Ear infections in dogs can be caused by bacteria, yeast, or ear mites, so you need to take Peyton into the vet first thing Monday. The vet can diagnose the cause of his ear infection, and can prescribe a safe and effective treatment for it. The only effective and safe medications for ear infections are available at the vet. Leaving this untreated can lead to hearing loss. Best of luck, I hope this helps.

It looks like a very bad skin infection, it could be caused by parasites, bacterias or fungus. you will need to take Jasmine to the vet in order to get it diagnosed and treated (it's not possible to give you a treatment advise without knowing what is causing this).

No, please do not instill anything into your dog's ears without your veterinarian's advice. Your dog also needs an ear exam to determine whether the ear drums are intact before any medicine is instilled into the ear/ If the ear drums are not intact, any medication getting into the inner ear can cause serious inner ear problems such as balance issues, etc. Please visit a veterinarian with your dog and bring the results of the sensitivity report with you. Your vet will then be able to examine your dog's ears and decide which route of medication is suitable. Never instill H2O2 into a dog's ears.

Nope, I would definitely stop that. Ears naturally clean themselves and don't need cleaned unless there is an issue. If you're seeing redness, brown/black discharge, an excessive amount of wax, or Lady is rubbing/scratching them, she needs to go to the vet to have them sampled and appropriate treatment started. Unfortunately, she could actually get an infection from the hydrogen peroxide you've been using, so definitely keep a close eye on things right now. The good news is that ear infections are very treatable with proper medications from the vet.

Aww I’m sorry to hear that Lil Boy is having a tough time. I agree that his signs are suspicious for an ear infection. Unfortunately, there is nothing really suitable for an ear infection over the counter. I definitely do NOT recommend putting anything in the ear (alcohol, vinegar, peroxide) as these can actually make things worse. I recommend seeing a vet sooner rather than later as it is easier and cheaper to treat an ear infection earlier on.
