The doctor will probably also take a sample of material from in and around the ear for examination under the microscope. It is essential to know whether yeast, bacteria, or both cause the infection.
If your dog has a yeast infection in the outer ear canal, the vet might prescribe a topical antifungal cream or ointment. Miconazole and ketoconazole are two antifungal medicines that effectively treat yeast ear infections in dogs.
An infection of the middle ear is treated with systemic medications, which include tablets or injections; after that, several tests, and even surgery may be needed. It usually takes up to six weeks for the infection to go away.
A vet might ask for a full cleaning of the dog's ear canal. Special cleansers and ear-drying solutions can be used if the problem is chronic.
HOME REMEDIES FOR DOGS TO PREVENT YEAST DERMATITIS AND EAR INFECTIONS
Here are some of the home remedies that you can do to begin to get your dog's yeasty ears under control, such as:
Completely dry your pup after a bath.
Cleaning your dog's ears of dirt regularly with the help of a clean cloth or cotton ball is easy.
Feeding your dog a healthy diet full of protein and other nutrients
Grooming a dog is a regular hygiene routine that removes dead skin and dirt.
Removal of Processed Foods: Start by removing processed foods from your dog's diet, as yeast thrives on carbohydrates and sugar.
A diet rich in whole foods should be provided: A whole food is the best edible thing for a dog with yeast issues. Stay away from carbohydrates and starches that feed yeast.
