Did you flush out the Otoprof? We think this is an excellent ear cleaner but it does need rinsing after use.

Agree - when the rep came around to introduce us to the product he said needs to be flushed copiously with saline\water after otherwise can cause irritation

Many thanks for the advice.

I gave oral steroids and topical flamazine (part in solution to go down ear canal, part neat to be applied to the pinnae) last night as this is what I have done previously with ears looking like this, if it doesn't improve things I will add in some topical ear meds too.

Anything is possible and some dogs seem to react to some ear cleaners and not others. I've not had any problems with Otoprof so don't be put off just try something different next time with this one. Meanwhile I would use some ear drops with topical steroid plus antibiotic/anti-yeast action as cover.

Yes. Try some topical steroids.

Less likely, but ear cytology will differentiate if you do it [bugs versus just cells]
