I have the name of the meds at home, the actual medication is kind of gel like, the cleaner is p/1 or something like that. My daughter told me about the L thing, she volunteers in a vets office. I guess thats why when I put the cleaner in I am suppose to pull the ear out a bit?
Bubba, I hope your ear feels better soon. Give him a hug for me would you please? :)
Aww, poor Bubba!
Anita used to get lots of ear infections when she was a puppy, I guess it is common in all dogs with long, floppy ears.
Hope he feels better soon! ;)
Poodles are notorious for having ear problems as they have fuzz constantly growing in their ears that also has to be regularly pulled. I have had problems with three out of the six poodles I have owned, with Bella being the current problem dog. :rolleyes: I was going to suggest using a powder also. I have been using a powder called BFI. It is not specifically for dogs but was recommended to me by one of my dog's breeders. It helps you get a better grip on the hair and also acts as an antiseptic. The one you have suggested would work well too.Quote:

I am just now beginning to see some yeast forming when I work on her ears. It is a never-ending battle. *sigh*
Pam, I asked the vet if it was from his shihtzu mom or his poodle dad, I figured it was the shihtzu in him and the vet so no poodles are very prone to this...oh well he gets his charming personality from his pa :D
