My puppy's ears still itch from yeast. Can I give him OTC meds?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Labradoodle | Male | unneutered | 3 months and 14 days old | 12 lbs

On 10/17, I was told my puppy had a yeast infection in both ears and was given Claro otic solution. The ears don’t look any better. Can I give him any over-the counter meds? He keeps trying to scratch his ears.

Poor Mace! Unfortunately there are no OTC ear medications for puppies, the only medications that are safe for puppies are available at the vet. You will need to make an appointment for him with the vet again to have his ears checked out and treated. Best of luck.
