I suspect my cat has fungal infection on her ear. She’s lost some fur due to constant scratching. Can I use Lamisil on her ? Months ago, the vet gave Panolol to clean out the mites in her ears, but the problem still exists. What should I do next?

My ears have been double pierced for about a year, and I’ve always had earrings in. Just recently I’ve noticed that one of my earlobes kind of hurts and today i saw a little bit of pus. I took all of my earrings out, but I really don’t want them to get infected and then close. Should I clean everything and put it back in, or put something to help my infection clear?

Thanks!

I have a 9 month old maltipoo. He has a black discharge in his ears. But it’s not like what you’d expect with ear mites (it doesn’t look like coffee grounds which I’ve read is common.) It smells really bad and no matter what I’ve tried at home I can seem to figure it out. I tried using rubbing alcohol like I do for my other dog but it just won’t clear up. My vet is out of town for the month so I can’t see him now. So is this ear mites or an infection? Is it something that should be looked at right away or can it wait till the vet is back at then end of the month? Anything else I could try?

Condition began apx 5 years ago under eyebrows, spread to painful cracking behind ears. Assumed "barber’s itch". Progressed to sides of nostrils, throughout moustache and beard around chin. Shaving area around mouth causes bright red inflammation & bleeding, so usually keep goatee. Most recently spreading into ear canals and nostrils, also beginning to cover eyelids. Have treated with ketoconazole (antifungal) and hydrocortisone (which irritates it). No pimples or itching; just flaking, cracking and pain (esp. behind ears). Grossed out yet? I am - very grateful for any help!!!

My 4 month old’s ear was red on the inside and his brother and mother kept licking and cleaning it. so we went to the vet and he said it was a fungi ear infection and put him on drops for 10 days. but I was just wondering how the lil guy could have got this and if I should watch mom & brother. if they can catch it from him.
He is a Lab. hasn’t been in water or had a bath in a month. no other health issues.
the vet said not to clean his ears until he was done with the drops.
also can my other 2 dogs catch this from him?

On my weeding day, my friend swapped earrings with me (cultural belief) and since then for 6 years already, the back of my ears don’t get healed. I’ve gone to the the dermatologist and applied ointment such as ketoconazole and betagenta, terramycin- for a while it will be ok then it comes back. I don’t know how to get over with this! It is itchy, I peel the dried liquid and it will come out again. Please help!!!

Her ears are very dry on the outer edges to the point where they look to be cracking, but I am not sure if it could be some type of fungal infection either. I am calling the vet Monday, but wanted to know if anyone has experienced anything similar.

i have a cocker and she gets a yeast or fungus infection in her ears all the time–no matter how close i keep the hair trimmed around the ears, it always comes back–are there any home remedies out there to try—the smell she gives off with this infection is horrific and i am tired of going to the vet once a month to get the medicine {which is not cheap} if you have a home cure or aid please, please tell me, i am at my wits end!

My 13 month old has/had a ear infection. Her Dr. prescribed her ear drops and an oral antibiotic. The drops said instill 1 drop into both ears every 2 hours. And the Oral antibiotic was to be taken for 5 days. I gave her the ear drops every 2 hours except for over night to allow her to sleep through the night in peace. And I gave her the antibiotic for the 5 days like stated. With this going on for a whole week (5/6) days do you think the ear infection would be gone by now?

My 18 month old has ear tubes and they are draining. Her ENT said she has fungus in her ears? How do I get rid of this or prevent it? I have been trying to avoid water in her ears. Has anyone else had to deal with this?
