Bulldogs/Ear Problems

Expert: - 7/10/2008


Question
My American Bulldog has been diagnosed with chronic ear infections (95% sure).  He had to get hematoma surgery and has a drain tube in now.  He can't swim or play in water (his favorites) and seems to be acting different when in certain situations.  Is there any sure way to prevent them naturally or at home instead of putting him (and us) through the vet visits for cleanings, steroids, antibiotics etc.?  He is such a great dog and I don't want to ruin his personality and at the same time don't want to sacrifice his health.  Do you know anyone else who has these problems with American Bulldogs and if so what do they do?

Answer
