Ear infection, both ears

[niapet]

Hey everyone,

Imp had been having all kinds if old man troubles. He also seems to have an infection in both ears. When I look in with the otoscope there is often white goopy stuff (pus?). I can often clear it but he does not like the procedure...

My understanding is antibiotics don't help much with ear infections, and in these situations a human physician would insert tubes. This I can not do, obviously. I assume the puss is building up and the pressure of the scope is rupturing the eardrum every time I look in, allowing built up fluid to drain. I have also been using swimmers drops to try and help dry it out and kill any bacteria.

Does anyone have experience with This? I don't know if ear infections can be fatal but they are certainly painful...

Poor little guy.:( I have a squirrel that has ongoing ear infections. They are indeed very difficult to get rid of, especially the infections that are inner ear and not in the canal. I have had the most success with antibiotic ear drops, particularly the Mometamax which you can purchase online. I would suggest ordering some for Imp. I also give my girl infant ibprophen when she seems to really be in pain from it. Hope your little guy can get some relief soon.:Love_Icon

I have been searching the inter-webs for this medication, it seems to require a prescription from a vet =/ We do not have sympathetic vets here. Any advice?
