How To Treat Ear Infections In Puppies

Oral Antibiotics

If your puppy has a severe infection, you may also be required to administer oral antibiotics along with the topical medication. Oral antibiotics usually come in pill or liquid form. If it’s a pill, you can hide it inside a piece of food, such as cheese or peanut butter, before giving it to your dog. If it’s in liquid form, you can add it to canned food or squeeze it directly into your dog’s mouth with a syringe. Regardless of what form of antibiotic your dog is prescribed, finishing the entire course is the most important factor. Continue administering antibiotics until you’ve used the entire prescription to prevent antibiotic resistance in your puppy.
