Ear infection?

[Renee]

I think Daya is getting an ear infection.

Yesterday it was ear itching but today it's a slight head tilt as well. Anyone know what medicines are typically prescribed and what the treatment process is like? It's her left ear.

The most common treatment is a combo of antibiotics like Baytril (enrofloxacin) and doxycycline. Given twice a day for a very minimum of 2 weeks (any shorter wont treat an active infection). Some vets may only give you one antibiotic like Baytril which is ok for mild infections. If the tilt gets severe you could ask for steroids to give up to 5 days.
