What is this?? (Ear sores)

[Cali Doll]

Bella has been scratching less. She now goes without the cone. I think the meds help a lot. However, there's this white blister cluster forming in her infected ear.

Anyone ever seen this before?

Yikes... What the heck is that?

 

[Cali Doll]

Well now, that's a frightening response.

I have no idea.

cysts? I am not sure either? Can you call your vet's office today and speak directly to the doctor to ask?

 

[Cali Doll]

I could call, but she'll be there on Tuesday for daycare. It don't think it's painful. You guys think it's something serious? I just thought it was a skin irritation.

Nah.... I'd watch it and if any drastic change try to get to vet but it probably is just irritated from her scratching

 

[Cali Doll]

I agree. Honestly, it's been there for a few days, and it hasn't gotten worse. I'll ask them to look at it on Tues.

This dog!

Did you ever find out what those white blister cluster things in Bella's ears were? My puppy Brinkley has the same thing right now in his. He has been on Tresaderm Ear Drops for 8 days and started seeing these appear about 2-3 days ago.

My girl has so many issues, it's hard to keep track!

If I remember correctly, this was a yeasty ear infection. It was caused by her food, but I forget which food (one of the Fromm flavors). She has horrid allergies, so it's a constant battle fighting infections, reactions...

 

[Tracy]

Do you remember if you finished the Tresaderm and those white crusty spots went away? We have one more week to keep doing the drops and I just feel bad for him. I started a new thread on here with a pic of his ears called (White Crusty Ear Spots?). We are in the process of changing his food to "Fromm's Chicken ala veg" from "Bill Jac" (which is what the breeder had him on) ... and since he got this yeasty ear infection I'm thinking now we have to go with Grain Free Fromm's option...but maybe it's just the Chicken variety? How to tell...?

Go grain and chicken free... try the Pork and Peas or Lamb and Lentils. Both are grain, chicken and potato free.

We do Pork and Peas too, the only Fromm flavor (and GF kibble) that has the least effect on Bass' nose rope and ears. This was a very long, aggravating process to find the correct kibble. Keep a journal when you do a food switch.

Thank you!
The journal is a good idea as well.

To transition him from regular Fromm's Chicken to the Grain-Free Pork & Peas, should it be a slow one again or since they are the same brand do you think I could switch faster?

 

[Tracy]

Also how about treats? What are some good chicken, grain & potato free treats? Thanks!

No need for slow... that is another great benefit of Fromm. Groin free line you can feed one flavor at breakfast and different one at dinner/-- no issues.

Treats-- i use, kibble, fruitable minis, stella and chewys dinner toppers and in summer they get a piece if watermelon or cantaloupe
