My dog has a fungal ear infection. Are scabs and fur loss normal?

Question

My husky was diagnosed with a fungal infection in his ears. He had puss like scabs on his ear and is losing fur on his ears. Is that normal? He is using an antifungal ear flush and Mometemax. Pet's info: Dog | Siberian Husky | Male | neutered | 2 years and 3 months old

Dr. Leigh, DVM · Accepted Answer

An ear infection can cause a discharge in the ears, redness, swelling, scabs, and some hair loss. Mometamax will treat both a bacterial and yeast infection, as well as help with inflammation and swelling. If the ears don't start to look better in a few days than he should be rechecked by your vet to determine the cause. If his ears are really red and inflamed than an oral corticosteroid may help.
