| My Lucy has a yeast infection in her ears When we took our Lucy to the vet for her first checkup we found out she had a yeast infection in her ears. She has bald spots on the back of her ears which I am assuming are from scratching them so much? Will the hair grow back once the infection is gone? Has anyone elses baby had this before? Thanks. She is not scratching as much I think the drops are starting to work, poor thing. |

| Jada and Bogie both have yeast infections in both of their ears. Jada is worse than Bogie. She has to go back to vet tomorrow as she is itching from behind her front legs up to her head now We are thinking it is food allergies, because that is the only change in the last 6 weeks. She is scratching so bad I had to put an e-collar and long sleeve t-shirt on her to keep her from damaging her skin. The hair should grow back on your baby, just try to keep her from scratching too much, it could cause an infection from the scratches.

| Maxx had a yeast ear infection on our first vet visit too. She was shaking his head ans scratching every once in a while, so he never removed any hair. The medicine seemed to work quickly, we used it for 14 days. When I put the drops in I also massaged the area under the ear canal, it would make a squishy sound so I knew it was getting inside well. Every few days I would also put a little cleaner on a cotton ball and wipe his ears out. When we went back to the Vet she said I did a great job and his ears were totally cleared up. She said most people don't get the medicine down far enough. |

| Max absolutely hated the ear drops, and would run his head against the ground and try to get it out. So i just had to hold him, holding his head close to me for several minutes. Then I'd let him go run crazy lol Last edited by Dany001; 07-13-2010 at 08:46 AM. |
