Hello there,
I’m sorry to hear your English bulldog is dealing with chronic yeast infections in the ears. This is a common issue for many bulldogs due to their adorable but sometimes problematic floppy ears, which can create a warm, moist environment perfect for yeast growth.
Potential causes for these recurring infections could include allergies (to food or environmental factors), underlying skin conditions, or inadequate air circulation in the ear canals. Sometimes, regular cleaning with inappropriate solutions can also disrupt the ear’s natural flora, making the problem worse.
For at-home care, gently clean your pup’s ears with a vet-recommended ear cleaner or just warm water, being careful not to push debris further into the ear canal. Make sure to dry them thoroughly to prevent moisture build-up. Keep an eye out for signs indicating a serious issue: increased redness, swelling, unpleasant smell, pain when you touch the ears, or changes in your dog’s behavior, such as scratching or head shaking more than usual.
If you notice any of these signs or if the problem persists despite home care, it’s crucial to seek veterinary advice. To get personalized advice and discuss a tailored treatment plan, please consider booking a video consult with one of our veterinarians on the Dial A Vet platform.
Take care, and I hope your bulldog feels better soon!

It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
