My dog has yellow ear discharge. Should I use Epi-Otic or Zymox?

Question

My Labrador mix dogs were like this. I cleaned what’s visible on the outside of the ear. I noticed wax and liquids yellow. What does this look like? Do I apply ear cleanser to clean the canal? I’m thinking of using epi-otic advanced. How often should I clean the ears? It doesn’t look like that anymore but the outside is getting dirty. Or will she need something like zymox?

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Princess! That looks like a decent ear infection. I highly recommend a vet visit and a cytology of the yellow discharge so the appropriate medicated drop can be used. Epiotic is a good ear cleaner but there are even more specific ones geared towards the type of infection she has. If you want to try cleaning first the I suggest every other day. If they aren’t improving I would take her in before doing anything else. I hope this’s helps and I wish Princess the best!
