Chronic Ear Infections
by Susan
(St. Charles, Illinois, USA)
It seems that ever since he has been about 5 or 6 months old, my Cocker Spaniel has had chronic ear infections. He is 1 1/2 years old (I adopted him when he was 8 weeks old), he has had all of his vaccinations, and he was neutered when he was 6 months old.
He has had many antibiotic ointments, oral antibiotics, oral cortisone, and oral antihistamines. It seems that the treatments will work at first, then when I am finished with the medicine, the ear infections just come right back. I have tried to avoid corn and wheat in his diet. Do you have any suggestions that might help? I do not want him to suffer the rest of his life with ear infections.
