Try Green Tea

Hi! It almost sounds like Skye has an ear infection. It's probably a middle ear infection. If she is shaking her head alot, and they can smell rather awful. The vet had given Buu, our AB, a cleaner and some medication drops. He hated it and didn't want anyone near his ear. I have also been cleaning his ear lately with green tea. I know it sounds odd, however the infection hasn't come back. I brew the liptons green tea and wait for it to cool, then wash the entire inside of his ear with the tea soaked in a washcloth or a napkin, making sure to get it inside of his ear. It also seems to work wonders on his skin. He used to itch alot, so I started giving him "sponge baths" in the green tea. It really seems to cure any skin ailment.
Good Luck!

Shannon,
Can you use this medication bring pregnant... Some meds you can't be exposed to? Maybe I should ask the vet

if your unsure of it I'd just try buying a box of Lytons Green Tea and washing the ears with that.
Good Luck!
