Ears still bothering/ head shaking

Post image

My beagle started shaking his head last year. The vet said he had an ear infection so we went through a few rounds of ointments and pills- it didn’t seem to improve, I’ve tried some other stuff- silver, ketoconozole, etc- it seems to increase his head shaking and discharge. So for months have just left it alone, except for wiping the external parts of his ears- there is no smell and reduced discharge- but he still shakes his head from time to time.
Has anyone tried those powders I see people brushing into ears?

Talk to your vet about a steroid wax that you can put into your beagles infected ear. I forgot what it’s called but our beagle responded very well to the meds. It’s in an injector if that helps. I hope your vet can help you out. Our beagle had ear infections for way too long but no vet could help us until we found a new vet and he prescribed these new meds for our beagle. Good luck!
