[QUOTE="Apache, post: 269201, member: 828"] We have enough information to say the dog has otitis (inflamed ear canals). The over production of wax is the body trying to 'flush' the infection from the ears. If the vet saw ear mites then I usually put a spot-on the back of the neck to kill the mites, prescribe a topical anti-inflammatory/anti-biotic preparation and usually an ear cleaner. If no mites are seen then in mild cases I will prescribe anti-inflammatory/anti-biotic preparation and usually an ear cleaner. If there is poor response to treatment or the ears are especially bad then the animal can need a general anaesthetic and its ears cleaning. This is a good opportunity to examine some of the discharge looking for bacteria, mites or yeast. Sometimes if things are really red the dog needs tablets (steroids) to reduce the inflammation and open the ear canals. Ear disease can be a manifestation of skin disease and be caused by allergy that in itself may need investigation. The important thing is to get on top of things now, because under-treating these things can cause more problems in the long term. What has your vet said? [/QUOTE]
