Yeast Infection in Ears

At the Oradell Veterinary group in Hasbrouck Heights, there was a patient, dog, who has been scratching its ears for days and in the past has been treated for it. An ear wash was performed on the dog and it behaved well. After swabbing out the dog's ears, wax was put onto a slide and observed under the microscope by Doctor Boren. As he was observing he told us that the dog had yeast growing inside of its ears and had to be treated for it. Shortly after, he asked if I wanted to see what it looked like. It was interesting to look at and the bacteria looked like purple shoes. I followed Doctor Boren back into the room and he told the owners that the dog had a yeast infection and had to be treated for it. The corresponding medication was prescribed and given.
