Hi there,

My little man had an issue with itchy ears and I used sancerum ear cleaner and it worked really well. I found out about it through a friend who's vet dispensed the cleaner for her dog - she wasn't too happy that she's paid £25 for it and it's half that price on Amazon. Might be worth a try? I hope she gets better soon

You could try thornit powder (available online ebay/amazon etc)
My girls has a lot of ear problems and we've just starting using it to see if it helps, if they are really bad I also give her half a piriton

Welcome by the way, come and say hi when you get chance

Put the ear cleaner on a makeup remover pad wash your hands after each ear and dont use the same pad for the other ear

As Saz has mentioned thornit is very good

Hi and thanks we had to take her to vets as loosed her out at 2 am this morn and she came back in 10 min later she had lumps appearing all over her body gave her piriton and it just kept getting worse so vet gave her steroid injection and a course of steroids and also some antibiotic for her ears her lumps have gone thank god she very quiet but thanks for advice cause if these drops only work for short while will look at what you have adviced x

Poor girl, sounds like she had a bad allergic reaction. Bane is a bad itched, and used to sneak off into the other room to scratch! We use a steroid spray for his ears when they are bad. It doesn't have the bad side effects that the injections can cause but keeps the itchiness away  Hope she gets better soon!
