My vet prescribed the Zymox also, but I haven't tried it yet, from what I've read it's supposed to be very good stuff. I had instead decided to try the Coconut oil first, as I read great things about that too.

I don't think the two should be used together in the ear, I think the Coconut oil would prevent the Zymox from working, as the oil coats the ear canal. The Zymox changes the environment in the ear, and I believe the CO would restrict that reaction. It wouldn't hurt to add the CO to his food though.

It sounds like your pup may have an inner ear infection, in which case he may need oral antibiotics in addition to ear drops (which ever you decide to use). I wouldn't use an ear cleanser at this point, as it would be too painful. But I would call either or both vets back and ask about antibiotics and inner ear infections, as your pup is highly aggravated and is in discomfort from whatever is going on in his ear. (JMHO) With all the rubbing he's doing, he may end up damaging the ear flap. If the vets want to see him again... it may help to shoot a video of his behavior to show them exactly what he's doing.

IMHO, I'd try the Zymox in his ears, give the Benedryl, and add the CO to his food for now, and talk to the vet.

I agree with kjc about videotaping his ear rubbing. It was suggested to do w Gidget's cough episodes here on YT, and the vet was really pleased that he could watch a cough episode on my husband's cell!

the coconut oil arrives today I will put it in his ear right away and then mix it with his wet food tonight and the next time i give him a bath i can put it on him but i want to get him groomed

I hope his ear is better before he gets groomed... the noise from all the dryers in the shop may hurt him...

im more worried about the water getting in his ears he goes nuts after baths

Good point... maybe mention to the groomer to be extra careful about that.... I used to work as a bather... doesn't hurt to mention it.

thank you. I will. I want to cut his hair real short and give him a mohawk but cant find any pictures of how it will look.

Hey guys im sorry to bring back an old thread but this problem is still on going. I been to 2 vets several times they cant find any ear mites or fungus. His ears are clean. I came back because my mom pointed out something and I figured I would ask.

When examined by the vet they said he would need dental surgury because his baby teeth never fell out and I could not afford it. Could his teeth be bothering him and it is connected with his ear or something along those lines.

I'm not sure about the teeth thing, but have you tried Vet's Best Ear Relief Wash + Dry? My dog had itchy, smelly ears (grooming didn't work, vet couldn't find anything wrong) and this cleared them up so quickly. I highly recommend it to everyone.

Could very well be related to the retained baby teeth. Those need to come out asap because the longer they remain, the bigger and more expensive the problems become. Yorkies are prone to tooth decay and retained baby teeth mean more places for bacteria to be trapped. Adult teeth may become rotten and need to be extracted, which means more $$.

Rotten teeth and gum disease can cause serious illness by affecting the major organs.

this has been going on since the winter I couldn;t afford it because I lose my job and my parents didn't want to help out but I am probably just going to have to do it and take the loss of money I dont have but I rather see him healthy then have any money in my pocket

I hope your baby feels better soon.

I'm sorry you're still having issues..... I know it must be so frustrating.
It could very well be a teeth issue....

Riley went through an ear infection issue and after 14-days of Clavamox, the vet recommended I get some VIRBAC Corium-20 and use it once a week. I have been doing that since May and have had no problems.

Thank you. I was thinking a teeth issue because 2 vets said oh he has no infection, no ear mites. I changed his diet thinking maybe allergies, then they said maybe allergies to dust but he will do this for an hour a day and then stop for the rest of the day. Only signsof allergies is he licks his paws a lot.

You said you changed his diet to Blue Buffalo? Which one? I would try the BB Wilderness Grain Free. If he is allergic to grains, his ear will never stay cleared up for very long. At this point what do you have to lose? I'm so sorry your little one has had such a tough time. It must be very frustrating.
