My Shih Tzu has an ear infection. Are there home remedies for it?

Question

How can I treat my four year old Shih Tzu's ear infection without a costly vet visit? Pet's info: Dog | Shih Tzu | Male | neutered | 4 years and 10 months old | 16 lbs

No. Ear infections need antibiotics or anti-fungal medications (depending on the type of infection) that are safe to use in the ears. Ear infections can get painful and can get worse quickly. I recommend to have Coach examined by the veterinarian for appropriate treatment which will hopefully clear up the infection quickly. I hope he feels better soon!
