My little girl, Zoe, is having a terrible problem with her ears itching, too. Vet says it's environmental allergies. He gives her a steroid shot, antibiotics, and says to use Zymox OTIC Enzymatic Solution for 7 days. We do this and the itching goes away. A couple of days after the 7 days, she's itching again as bad as ever. He told me to give her Benedryl, so have been doing that.

Maybe I'm not giving the Benedryl often enough.

Does anyone know if it will hurt to continue the Zymox drops daily for much longer than the 7 days?

I'll try cleaning her ears with vinegar and then using the Xymox drops and see what that does.

I'm interested in the Vicks. Does this really work?? How do you get it down in the ear?

We're getting desperate. She has itching attacks. Sometimes she even yelps like she is in severe pain.
