| Stinky Ears!! Yuck! Lola has been on doxycycline a month now for Lyme's Disease. We only have a few days left. Her ears now stink! I mean nasty! Could the medicine have given hear a yeast infection? Can I give her acidophillus? I gave her the summer cut today. She's so dang cute but SHE STINKS Thanks in advance. |

| Yes it could have. She will need something to clear it up, preferrably from the vet.

| Her ears aren't red. She's not itching them. I cleaned them and didnt get any discharge at all but she was extra sensitive of her left ear. Anything I can do or do I need to call the vet? |

| Are you sure it's her ears and not her eyes or mouth? How did you clean them? A cotton ball or a q-tip?

| Hi. She's probably due a recheck after she finishes up her meds anyway. Have them check her ear then, or call them to see if she can be seen a few days early. Best Wishes!

| There was a Vet on Martha Stewart this morning, he said to add a few drops of apple cider vinegar to several ounces of warm water and with an eye droper or qtip put a few drops in the ear.

Okay I just did the sniff test. It's definitely her left ear. I'll call the vet in the morning. | |

| Just like her Momma she's got severe allergies to pollen. He said her ears were extremely inflamed but not infected...yet. Between the amount of wax and nasty eye boogers he's pretty positive that's what it is. Slide didn't show infection or mites. He put her on regular Claritan (1/4 tab twice a day) and otomax drops for her ears. If the smell persist after 14 days he'll put her on prednisone. Will only do that if we need to. |

| I'll definitely keep it in mind! It looks like the Atopica is more for skin issues. Is that right??!! Lola is only bothered in her ears and eyes. No scratching on her body thankfully. I hope the Claritan works. No way I want to put her on prednisone. She's more playful tonight than she's been in a couple weeks! |

| In addition to what has been posted, yes you can give your dog acidophilus. I use a product that I buy it from herbal remedies online and I mix it with 1-2 tsp of plain greek yogurt and let them lick it whenever they are on medicine or whenever I want to supplement their diets. I store it in the fridge. Oh I buy it at Acidophilus for Dogs & Puppies, Dog Probiotic, Kosher & Lactose Free - 16 fl. oz. - Dynamic Health |
