Ear Drops for Dogs

Many dogs frequently experience ear problems. This is especially common in dogs with skin allergies, heavy, drooping ears, or excessive hair in their ears. Swimming can also lead to irritation of the ear canals. Ear drops can help to soothe and care for the ear canal. If the ear canal is particularly dirty, treatment can be combined with an ear cleaner.

If your dog’s ears are inflamed, always consult a vet. A vet can examine the ear canal using an otoscope and determine whether the eardrum is intact. They can also check for any foreign objects, such as grass seeds, lodged in the ear. In the case of a bacterial ear infection, a medicated ear ointment from the vet is often required. However, this treatment can be combined with ear drops. Ear drops help to prepare the ear canal for treatment with the prescribed ointment.

Ear Drops for Inflamed Dog Ears

Inflamed ears can be extremely painful for a dog. Ear infections often lead to an overgrowth of bacteria and yeast. In such cases, a medicated ear ointment prescribed by a vet, typically containing antibiotics and anti-inflammatory agents, is usually necessary. Using ear drops beforehand can help prepare the ear for the treatment, making it more effective and allowing it to work faster.

For dogs prone to recurring ear infections, ear drops can be used as part of a maintenance routine to keep the ear canal soft and healthy, reducing the risk of infection. This can be done by applying ear drops once a week or after swimming.

What Should You Avoid When Your Dog Has an Ear Infection?

Do not use cotton swabs in your dog’s ears. These can push debris further into the ear canal and may cause damage.
Do not use ear drops without knowing the type of infection or whether the eardrum is intact.

Always have inflamed ears checked by a vet first!
