Hello All! Sorry we haven't been in here for awhile...lots of stuff going on this summer, so we've been busy.
I had a quick question: Jenna is being treated for a yeast infection in her left ear, for more than a week now with Mometamax. I just got another bottle of it from the vet on Sunday because it didn't look like the infection was fully cleared up, but upon finishing the old bottle off, it seems to be irritating her ear more than it is helping. Last night I used Epi-Otic wash as directed for both ears and dried as well as I could, then applied the mometamax. I don't know if I was just too harsh on her ear in drying it after washing, or if the meds are now causing more irritation than the infection. Today she is okay, but her ear was all red again last night for a few hours after treatment and she was not happy with me.
She fussed for quite a while before bed.
I don't want to use something that is hurting her ear, (I'm wondering about getting her a little straw hat since I think the goo may actually be contributing to sunburn in her ear flap when we are outside), but I also don't want to let the infection become resistant. I will be calling my vet tomorrow if we have more trouble with it tonight, but has anyone else ever had problems with this medication or the wash...or just with your Yorkie not tolerating the whole procedure?
Many thanks in advance!
*BTW, Jenna has properly gotten us all fully trained to her desires and has decided to be mommy's doggie instead of my daughter's. No more worries about where she sleeps...she's firmly ensconced on the bed each night!
I have never had such a loyal and well-trained dog in my life, she has definitely become my baby.
Wow, why have I never had Yorkies before!
