How long will ear swelling last? My puppers ear had been diagnosed with a yeast infection. Our vet prescribed us with posatex to fight the infection for 10 days, but her ear looks to still be swollen after a week.

I would expect you to have seen an improvement in swelling by now, so I would give Florence's vet a call first thing Monday. Let them know that you believe the ear is still swollen, and they may want you to bring her back in for additional treatment. Good luck, I hope this helps!
