Types of Ear Infections in Danes

 

There are a few different kinds of infections that can occur in danes' ears. 

 

1)  Bacterial infection - can be treated with a thorough cleaning and antibiotics - weekly cleaning can help prevent recurrence

2)  Fungal (yeast) infection - can be treated with an antifungal medication and a thorough cleaning - weekly cleaning and keeping the ears dry can help prevent recurrence

3)  Parasitic infection - caused by a type of mange mite that lives in the ear, this kind of infection is not as common as bacterial or fungal infections.  Antibiotics may be given to relieve inflammation, as well as topical pesticides.  Use of certain heartworm preventions like Interceptor or Ivermectin may help prevent recurrence.
