Avatar n tn Otodectes, Cheyletiella, Scabies, etc, ringworm and other fungal infections, allergies (allergies to food can occur anytime in the life of a cat), bacterial skin infections, endocrine disorders and more. Ringworm, and some mites can be transmitted to people. Frontline does not treat mites. The topical: "Revolution" is for fleas, ticks, ear mites, and scabies, so it might be a good idea to switch to Revolution for a couple of months.
1241045 tn?1268250883 My dog is a boxer and she constantly has ear infections. She shakes her head all the time. Short of cleaning her ears three times a day, what can I do about it? Can you put tubes in dogs ears like children? She also gets yeast in between her toes and is always licking them. And the smell is aweful! I was told it could be allergies, but the test for dogs is expensive. We have tried changing her diet and she still gets ear infections.
Avatar n tn Ear mites, flea allergies, anal gland problem, urinary tract infections, hair balls, etc. can cause bizarre behaviors. For flea allergies, the actual flea is never seen. The flea can bite your cat, jump off, but can result in itching for a month.
Avatar n tn She complains every day and wakes up crying during the night that her throat and ears hurt her. Could this be allergies? we have a dog and a cat in the house. We need some answers im tired of seeing her in pain.
Avatar f tn My 9 month old lab keeps getting reoccuring yeast infections in his ear. The vet perscribed drops and a cleaning solution. We were able to clean them the first couple of times but now he won't let us come near him with the solution or drop.. He bites and barks at us. Giving him carrots, treats, his favorite bone to distract him doesn't work. Any idea how to help make this easier?
Avatar n tn and he had also gotten ear mites from a new cat we had just adopted. She performed surgery on the ear, and my cat "Dillon" didn't do very well; and the ear was all swollen again within about 6 days. I took him back to the vet, and she did another type of surgery on the same ear; needless to say Dillon did worse with this surgery; was sick to his stomach and mopy for about a week and half and wouldn't let me near him, let alone the ear.
Avatar f tn The white globs could be due to external ear canal infection. Ear canals can get swollen due to infections when it is referred to as otitis externa. The infecting agents are bacteria, fungi and viral. Bacterial infections need antibiotics and fungal anti fungal agents. Viral infections are by exclusion and do not need any antibiotic therapy. Ear canals can also get swollen due to allergies or injuries.
Avatar m tn Did you injure your nose, or is it swollen perhaps because of allergies or congestion? I ask because the dark circle under you eye can be from trauma or can be from allergies. They are called allergic shiners. If the swelling is putting pressure inside your nose it can give you a headache and/or earache. What nasal spray did he give you? But to answer you question, yes your symptoms can be because of the swelling in your nose.
Avatar f tn Many ear infections can be difficult to treat, especially if the middle or inner ear is infected. The tympanic membrane (the ear drum) is going to keep any kind of topical medications from reaching the middle ear so oral medications might be in the kitty's future as well. Another thing to consider is the fact that he may have a nasopharyngeal polyp in his auditory canal.
Avatar m tn My primary doctor referred me to an ear nose and throat specialist and says that I have a deviated septum which may be the cause of my sinus problems. The ENT said that it may just be allergies, but I have never had any problem with allergies in my life. Two weeks ago I visited my primary doctor and he ran a range of blood tests. Thyroid, Rheumatoid, Testosterone, mono, and blood count. All tests came back and were within normal range.
Avatar f tn I am glad to see that an ear cytology was run. An ear cytology is important with any ear infection to help the veterinarian determine the cause of the problem. The simple answer to your question is YES, yeast infections can occur in just the ears. The ear canal is simply an extension of the skin that is formed into a tube with a vertical and horizontal canal. The three most common organisms we see in the ear are as follows: 1. Staphylococcus spp. (cocci) 2. Pseudomonas spp. (rods) 3.
Avatar f tn Autoimmune diseases A final thought would be to have your pet’s ear flushed to fully examine the canal and ear drum. Middle (Otitis Media) and Inner (Otitis interna) ear infections often require aggressive treatment. Routine blood work and a thyroid screen would be recommended as well. I hope this helps.
377012 tn?1283965435 Do you or anyone that your child is arround smoke? If you or someone else does please stop now. My son has asthma and my daughter has chronic ear infections, and I had to have a fit with my ex-in-laws because they continued to smoke around the kids after their docs told them that it was hurting the kids to smoke. And the tubes aren't miracles, my daughter has had 3 sets and 2 other ear surgeries and she still gets ear infections and she's 13.
209987 tn?1451935465 rule out infection? The stench is of concern....What does it smell like? Ear infections MUST be treated or ruled out! It also could be a yeast infection....Bacteria & Yeast both smell bad..... Next, what breed is your dog & how old is she? What do you feed? Name & how long she has eaten it....Including snacks.....This is important..... Some dogs can tolerate cheese & some dogs can't....Small nibbles of cheese (Preferably WHITE cheeses) won't hurt her.....
Avatar f tn I've never had allergies of any kind. Then I noticed my nose was runny sometimes. Sneezing some. Nothing alarming. Then I woke up and was having trouble swallowing - felt like something was stuck in my throat. Doc said there was tons of drainage - the diagnosis: allergies. I started zyrtec and flonase, and got a HEPA air purifier. I've had that for about 2 weeks. Annnd now I've developed ear infections in BOTH ears due to the allergies, even taking all that and with the filter.
1875073 tn?1320454493 How to get read of ear infections get them to stop coming back caused by allergies on spry, and 2 pills and still not in control of allergies shots dont help
Avatar m tn Other causes for these symptoms are inner ear infections; brain disorders heart problems, fever, stress, low blood pressure and anxiety. Please consult your GP who will examine you and may ask for blood tests for evaluating blood sugar and CBC. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Avatar f tn I have been experiencing rt ear throb on occasions, pain in eye sockets, headache on top of the head and when I bend to pick something up off the floor my eyes, nose, forehead feels heavy. I purchased some allergy meds which helps ease the aches in my eyes. I also take excedrine tense tabs which helps with the headaches. I am confused weather I should go to the ENT specialist or the optomologist or even both.
Avatar f tn In 15 months I've had 10 episodes of acute bronchitis, often accompanied by sinus and/or ear infection. It usually starts with cold symptoms, post nasal drip, unproductive cough leading to wheezing, coughing until I vomit and a trip to the doctor's for antibiotics. The last few episodes progressed from scratchy throat to full blown ear/sinus infection and bronchitis in 3 days. The usual treatment plan is antibiotics, inhaler (with steroids), nasal spray (like Nasonex).
1100598 tn?1413127426 My Holistic Vet prescribes it for ear infections and/or Yeast Infections.......I have used it for years before he ever made mention of it...... Other things for you to do: Add Wet food for at least one meal a day.....Extra moisture will help keep toxins flushed from her system and is vital for healthy organ function......No dog should live on dry food alone.... Next: You need to add a good probiotic to her meals....
Avatar f tn I do the sinus irritation thing-not the neti pot but a tube. The CVS pharm. recommended it to me. I had a CAT scan on my sinus which revealed nothing but I know I do cough from bronchtis and asthma and what has worked for me is a bronchiodialator "Combivent". That was also reccomended by my pulmonolgist. Dry hot weather spikes all of this it stinks, too cold and too dry, we can't win. Keep pursuing other allergy meds-nasonex works good for me-i get samples from my Dr.
1393879 tn?1288725449 This may be true of the child with allergies or ear infections. Sometimes the hearing is “normal”. At other times, hearing is impaired by fluid behind the ear drum. In some instances, if the ear drum ruptures, the hearing loss may continue for some time. Often children in this category are overlooked. The thinking is that they do have “normal” hearing. Although they do have normal hearing at times, other times they truly have difficulty.
Avatar f tn Besides loud noises, other causes include severe head trauma, sinus and respiratory infections, ear infections, wax build-up, high blood cholesterol, food allergies, certain types of tumors and a long list of other conditions.
