If your dog has a yeast infection of the outer ear canal, the vet might prescribe a topical antifungal ointment or cream. Miconazole and ketoconazole are two antifungal medicines that are often effective. Your vet might recommend a full cleaning of the dog’s ear canal. If the problem is chronic, ask about special cleansers and ear-drying solutions that can be used at home. To keep pooch’s ears healthy, regularly check for discharge, odor, and swelling. After your dog bathes or swims, gently dry the outer part of the ears as well as you can. You may also use an ear-cleaning medicine that has a drying agent. It can take up to six weeks for the infection to go away.

When your dog is diagnosed with a yeast infection your vet will prescribe an antifungal medication which may include an ointment to apply to the infected area or a medicated shampoo to relieve symptoms. If your dog's infection is more serious your vet may prescribe oral tables such as ketoconazole, fluconazole, or terbinafine. Completely drying your pup after a bath or playing in the water can help to prevent yeast infections. Cleaning your dog's ears of dirt regularly with a clean cloth or cotton ball can also help. Feed your pooch a healthy diet full of protein and other nutrients. Brush your dog often as part of their regular hygiene routine to clear away dead skin and dirt. If you notice that your dog is exhibiting any symptoms of a yeast infection call your veterinarian to schedule an appointment for your pup.
