We took Angel to the vet's today because there was still quite a bit of black/brown stuff in her ears, especially the right one, when I cleaned them yesterday. The vet looked in her ears with an instrument and saw quite a bit of stuff in her right ear. She took a swab of it from the right ear, and I'm not sure if she looked at it under microscope. She said that there's normally a little bit of yeast, but there was an abnormal amount. She said that it's not ear mites, and she didn't see any fleas as she checked Angel's skin and hair, which we're very relieved about. Yeast infections are not contagious to other animals. She prescribed ear drops called Surolan. Have any of you heard of it or how effective it is? I'm supposed to put 4-5 drops in Angel's ears twice a day, morning and night, for 2 weeks and then take her back to the vet's to make sure they're better. If they're not, we may need to get a cleansing solution.
