    ear problems?

    Dog had black goop in ear(1 ear only). Thought it was mites. Been treating with nustock stock for about a month. I gave a small break after the first 3 or 4 doses and the black goop came back been treating every 3 to 4 days since then and he still act like his ears are bothering him. Possibly a yeast infection or what else could it be? If it is a yeast infection would monostat cream work?

    Surolan usually does the trick

    One thing I learned while I went trough some ear problems is that when you treat a dog's ear for a long time with meds it actually messes up the natural fungus balance in a ear
    i actually had to use some PH enhancer and the problem was gone in a few days

    Yes i have seen the same thing. Surolan works great if its a one time thing or every once in a while, but if you treat to long i had same results.

    Get a culture done at a vet; that way you're not shooting in the dark.

    Absent that, 1:20 tea tree oil or 1:20 Nolvasan rinse can work wonders.

    The culture is the best course of action.

    I use a 16 oz. bottle of Isopropyl alcohol, a tablespoon of boric acid and 10-12 drops of Genetian Violet. The alcohol serves as the carrier and readily evaporates. The boric acid lowers the PH and the Genetian Violet serves as a topical.

    It is mixed in the alcohol bottle and a hole poked in the top to make a squirt bottle. Works wonders. EWO
