Itchy ears

Q: My 11-week old Teddy Bear puppy had bacterial ear infection, then ear yeast infection. He has seen the vet twice for his ear problem. Last exam, the vet administered some Claro Otic on both ears. He seemed fine for a few days but started scratching his ears again. Is there anything else I could do to help my puppy?

A: Ear infections especially yeast overgrowths are most often related to added moisture to the ears. Using an ear cleaning/drying agent would likely help. Take a look at the Doctorpup video “Cleaning Your Puppy’s Ears”
