[Shirley beanen]

If a squirrel has a ear infection what kind of medicine would you use ?????? If a squirrel had ear mites what would you use ????? I.m going to contact my vet and give him this information about my squirrel....thank you

Hi there. The medication would depend on what kind of infection it is: bacterial, yeast, ect? Ear mites require a different type of med still. Why did you suspect ear infection? Can you post photo?

How old is this one? What's the history?

If you aren't licensed to rehab be sure you are speaking to squirrel friendly vet.

I'm glad he's a good vet willing to help. I would take a swab into him so he can do an ear cytology. It's the best way to be sure you are treating with the appropriate medication.

(I was a vet tech so I get what you're saying about water in the ears causing yeast infection, or something. But to be sure, I'd have it checked.)
