Actually i didnt even think of that! Her ears do flop in the water bucket. I have kept her away from all other water sources, so i will get a smaller one. I will try a few other things that i have found on this forum then head to the vet again if it doesnt clear up or just as a check up if it does end up clearing up. Thanks guys

I already took her to the vet thats where i got all these products from, who checked her ears and thoroughly cleaned them out. I think I will take her to a different one to get a second opinion.

Ok, I just stopped because I thought i might have been doing more damage to the ears if it was hurting that much. Thanks ill look into it. So just spray it into her ear or onto the body? Would Dakartin spray from the chemist be similar? Also another question, my other dog licks her ears i assume to clean them, should i let him do this or will this just make her ears more wet and infected?

Hey guys, My dog (shitzu) has sore and itchy ears. She scratches at them, rolls her head on the ground/along side of mattress to scratch them, and when i inspect them or try to go near them she pulls away and tries to run off so obviously their very sore. Theres brown gunk inside her ears and her ears seem to be really wet because when u rub them on the outside you can here a squidgy sound if that makes sense. I have taken her to the vet who couldnt see any ear mites, but gave me niralone tablets, paw gentle ear cleaner and dermotic ear drops. I have been giving the niralone tablets to her and occasionally manage to hold her down to get the dermotic drops in but the paw ear cleaner just makes her yelp so i have stopped with that. The niralone tablets have run out now and it still hasnt cleared up. I have gone and bought organic apple cider vinegar and some phenergan to see if that might help and will start to give her a strict fish and rice diet to see if its her diet which is causing problems (she is on raw chicken necks, wings, lamb necks etc) and optimum. She used to be on supercoat sensitive and i thought this might be giving her troubles so i switched to optimum. I gave her some phenergan half an hour ago and she seems to have stopped scratching but they are still sore. So does anyone have some ideas on how i might be able to fix this problem- some suggest malaseb shampoo but will this be any different to the paw ear cleaner? Or if anyone knows a good vet in perth that will fix the problem (i wasnt at all pleased with the last one i went to and after doing some googling some people on this forum share the same view.)

I came across a new product at coles called yoghurt plus. From the brief look at the ingredients it looked pretty good. I think it had chicken meal listed as the first ingredient. Has anyone tried it out?
