Avatar n tn s in both ears, it could be caused by allergies or he could have a yeast infection in his ears. A yeast infection, while not as easy to clear up as a run-of-the-mill ear infection, CAN be cured with medication. If it's allergies, however, it can be more difficult to treat because the first step in treating symptoms caused by allergies is to eliminate the allergen, which can be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Avatar n tn Since scabies mites are difficult to find, I trial treat dogs for scabies with Revolution every 2 weeks for 3 treatments. If skin infection is present, it is treated with antibiotics for 3-4 weeks and mild antibacterial shampoos. The itch can be treated symptomatically with mild oatmeal shampoos, fatty acids, antihistamines or a short course of oral steroids, but steroids are not a good choice for long term treatment due to their many side effects.

Avatar f tn It COULD be dried blood, but it could also be ear mite exudate, as a heavy infestation of ear mites will fill the ear canal with a dark brown waxy substance. She could also have a yeast infection, although a yeast infection would more than likely have some type of odor to it. Swabbing the ear and looking at the exudate under a microscope will determine whether or not there are mites present, and then the appropriate medication can be prescribed.
Avatar m tn It isn't possible to say what would work until the problem is understood. For example, if the dog also has a smell it may be a skin dermatitis or yeast infections. Some breeds seem to be more prone to yeast. If that's the case a medicated treatment that disrupts the yeast infection has to be used. It is possible to get over-the-counter medicated dog shampoo with 1% (I think that's the small level) ketoconazole which can help stop yeast.
Avatar f tn ve worked as a vet tech in a vet dermatologists office for years and seen many allergy dogs be just that allergy dogs (mine being one of them). Don't worry just take it one symptom at a time. Raw diets can be scary because dogs can shed bacteria in their scales so be very careful if you have anyone in the house who has a weak immune system or is pregnant and of course children. Humans can easily contract the bacteria. Be careful and good luck!
209987 tn?1451935465 A course of treatment with Otomax should rid her of the yeast infection. One word of caution though, regarding the use of Otomax, it is extremely common for dogs to lose their hearing temporarily when using this medication. This is absolutely NOT a cause for alarm and the hearing returns within about 30 days after stopping the medication.
Avatar f tn Dogs chew their feet because the feet are itchy. Causes for itchy feet include allergies (ie to pollen, grass, or food), bacterial or yeast skin infections, and skin mites/parasites. The bad odor suggests that infection is present, and veterinary exam is needed to identify the type of infection so that appropriate medications can be prescribed. The bad breath may also be due to dental disease.
Avatar n tn Foul odors in pet's ears are either yeast or bacterial infection or a combination of both. Much of the time ear infections are secondary to environmental or food allergies, or swimming. It would be best to have his ears checked by a vet who can perform a cytology, and/or a culture and sensitivity on the ear discharge.
Avatar f tn Dark scaly spots on the skin can be due to a localized skin infection, most commonly bacterial or yeast, less commonly ringworm/fungal infection or demodex mange mites. The increased licking (which is the way dogs scratch themselves when they are itchy), suggests infection is causing itch. The skin increases pigment as a protective response due to the inflammation.
Avatar m tn My dog has a mild yeast infection in her left ear but she may have a tear in her eadrdrum. The vet gave us TrizEDTA but due to her losing her hearing from Tri-Otic, we didn't want to use any more ear medication that can cause hearing loss. I've recently started making her home cooked meals, wipe her down with apple cider vinegar+water, and flushing her ears out every other day plus cleaning the outer part of her ears on days I don't flush.
Avatar f tn continuation of symptoms may call for a second round of treatment. Visit the doctor to make sure a yeast infection was the proper diagnosis. Yeast infections are normal occurrences in woman.
Avatar f tn For a Yeast infection during pregnancy you are supposed to use Monistat 7. It's the most effective.
Avatar n tn You may also want to have the dog checked for a yeast infection and have thyroid checked. Regular Brushing is often better than frequent bathing. A friend of my daughter had a Basset Hound that always smelled no matter how often they bathed him or with what. He did end up having a thyroid problem. Just a thought.
Avatar f tn im 28 rys old, female and married. i've been suffering a yeast infection for almost 2 months now due to antibiotics. first the doctor gave me 7 day vaginal cream clotrimazole. But then, i still have the burning sensation after 7 days treatment. so i went to another doctor, and she gave me diflucan 150mg one pill only.i took it for the past 7 days. she said i would not have sex for 1 week. it will remains in my body for many days. but how come, i still have the burning sensation?
Avatar f tn I did as the doctor said and i was given a 3 day treatment for the yeast infection. But it wudnt go away just got worse so I went back to doctor and she gave me a weeks supply of the treatment and finally im now yeast free!!
Avatar f tn Very worried, I went to the doctor and she examined and said it was a yeast infection, she did a swab, and I have heard nothing back. She told me to get the canesten 3 day duo pack. I was finished this treatment on wednesday, and then over the weekend I started to feel some discomfort and a bit of itching down there, only closer to the opening of the vagina now. It's not sore, and I never had a lot of discharge, but it just doesn't feel normal.
Avatar f tn I spoke with a friend, who is also an emergency room nurse once about yeast infection treatment and she said don't buy the 1 day or the 3 day treatments. If you try to take care if it on your own, without going to the doctor, buy the 7 day stuff. Just a suggestion. Sounds like a yeast infection. Some are more obvious than others, but your description seems pretty clear. Take care.
Avatar f tn I had a yeast infection a few weeks ago and my didn't prescribe me anything he just told me to buy monistat 7 and it worked perfectly fine.
