# Dog Ear Infection Treatment in Thailand
Ear infections are extremely common in dogs, especially in humid climates like Thailand. Yeast infections are the most common type, creating brown/greasy discharge.
Typical Signs
- Head shaking, scratching at ears, ear rubbing
- Bad odor from ears or head
- Dark discharge; red, painful ear canal
Common Causes
Yeast overgrowth often has underlying causes—especially allergies. Bacteria can be found with yeast infections. Recurrent ears usually need deeper investigation.
Diagnosis & Treatment
- Ear cytology (microscope exam) to choose meds
- Professional cleaning/flush (sedation for comfort)
- Targeted ear medication + recheck in 1-2 weeks
- Culture for stubborn/chronic infections
Treatment Options
- Ear cytology to identify cause
- Professional ear cleaning under sedation
- Topical ear medications (antifungals, antibiotics)
- Oral medications for severe cases
- Address underlying allergies
Prevention in Humid Weather
- Dry ears after swimming/bathing
