We have had a T4/TSH to see is there are throid problems. We also had a CBC performed. Both were within normal range. His has been on Otomax, Animax and Baytril. We started with outer ear infections. They go away then come back in a couple months. When the myringotomy was performed and the fluid was analyzed it was a milky fluid with debri in it. They thought it would be a bacterial infection, but is wasn't. We have had several ear swab cytology done. Now we have progressed to the inner ear. If the first myringotomy didn't work why will the second one? We are wondering is he is being treating for the symptom or the problem. Don't we need to find out why he is having ear infections. Last summer we also struggled with hot spots. We are wondering if this could all be allergy related. We have changed his food to natural choice for sensitive stomachs. We also use Benadryl for the hot spots and have not had any more problems with that. To date we have spent over $3000. Help!

Myringotomy tubes frequently fall out and need to be replaced in order to drain the middle ear. Any mammal can have allergies that affect the middle ear. Ask the vet if he/she thinks a decongestant would help in addition to the Benadryl (antihistamine).
