Health & WellbeingMia has another yeast infection in her ears. I have some left over ointment from her last treatment so I know how to treat it but I don’t know how to avoid it. Could I also use vetericyn wound and skin care on her ears? I haven’t exposed her to water
Hi there. No, you need to use an ear flush that is designed especially for ears - a regular antiseptic spray like Vetericyn will not dry as quickly, and may contain ingredients that aren’t safe for the ear drum. Epi-Otic and MalAcetic are both good options for routine ear cleaning that are available over-the-counter. Recurring ear infections are usually due to an underlying allergy problem, so I would recommend talking to your veterinarian about options for further work-up and treatment to help keep this from happening so often.
