[QUOTE="Victoria, post: 497094, member: 1258"] Husband came home while I was posting so I just wrote fast, I will explain more now. We got a puppy one month ago and for the last couple of weeks we have been battling an ear infection with her. Our vet gave us Otomax to use on her (this is an antibiotic, anti-inflammatory and antifungal) and it seemed to clear things up although I wasn't doing a good job at cleaning it out. I was too afraid of hurting her, I'm not used to doctoring anything under 80 pounds. :oops: Anyhow, when it reappeared she was then put on a Burrows solution with hydrocortisone for seven days this dried up the infection. Then I had the brilliant idea to use a cleaning solution on her ears to clean them out. She was in ALOT of pain from the first couple of drops so I wouldn't use the vinegar until the infection clears up. I now have her back on the Otomax for a couple of days to soothe the irriation from the Burrows solution (as well as my stupidity of ear solution) and am cleaning out her ears with cotton swabs before application.This was the recommendation from her vet and she is no longer scratching and is doing really well. Hopefully it continues. My guess is that the Otomax is what your vet was going to follow with. Can't give advice on pen. as our puppy did not receive any shots for her infection. [/QUOTE]
