Everyone else may know this but I didnt ....and thought it was worth sharing ...
On a visit to our vet for a "well dog visit" Nezzie ear canals showed a fungus ...My vet who has a large number of doodles in his practice over the past year says this is common in doodles and labradors. Apparently dogs have 3 times the size of a eustachian tube that humans do ..In hot moist weather they will get fungus easily ...He gave me Malacetic otic to put daily in their ears or after swimming...Smells like vinegar...Said should do it after a bath and swimming ...You lay the dog on their side put in the drops and rub under the ear on the neck...then take a tissue and clean out the ear....lots of debris....kind of gross...
Thought everyone who lives in the hot humid climates might want to be aware of this....
