Help

With every ones help maybe I can come up with a cure for an ear problem in my hound, her left ear has a discharge, looks like pus, have had her to 3-vets all said no mites. just an infection, but with all the treatments it comes back in a week or two. been going on for over a year now. I clean it every day, before putting the medicine in, the crud looks like dried blood. Thanks for any suggestions.

Find out what is causing the infection and fix it. Is the infection fungal or bacterial? Do a C & S to find out what to fight it with and load your dog up with it. You might need to get a new vet if he hasn't already done this.

Probably a yeast infection which is caused by a fungus along with possible staph as long as it has been going on. You may try Zymox it can treat bacteria and fungus, you can buy it OTC. You may also change the food you are feeding your dog some develope allegeries to certain ingredients that can manifest into different skin and ear disorders.
Your vet should have swabbed the ear a long time ago to test for what was causing the problem.

i would change vet's i went through the same thing yrs back vet kept treating for ear infection kept comeing back took the dog to another vet it was to late turn out to be cacer he did what he could but end up losein her in about 3 months hope this helps

Ear problem

This started out in both ears, but now only in left ear, right ear has been fine for over a year now, it is only in the left ear.

it was only 1 ear on my dog also just sayin hope you get the problem fix

Tooth

I only had this happen once in over 30 years of raising dogs, but as a small possibility check to make sure the dog doesn't have a bad tooth. Not sure how old the dog is but mine was 12 years old and the bad tooth brought on the ear infection. I'd tend to believe it's more likely a yeast infection like the Cummings family said, but thought I'd put the tooth infection out there just in case. Best of luck!
