Did you know? Yeast...
๐ฌ...is always around!
Malassezia is the most common commensal fungal organism on our cats and dogs skin. Itโs normal for it to be present in really small numbers.
๐ฌ...is opportunistic.
In healthy dogs, a warm, humid environment can encourage Yeast to multiply, leading to an opportunistic infection. So ear infections can be more common in humid weather or frequent swimmers!
๐ฌ ...is Allergyโs best friend.
Dogs who have an underlying allergic or atopic condition very commonly develop Yeast infections in their ears and elsewhere on the body!
๐ฌ...doesnโt need an antibiotic!
They need an antifungal. This is why your vet will ask to take a sample for cytology before choosing the best treatment for your pet.

Pet Hack! Getting cats to take medication - it can be quite tricky, try out this hack ๐
1.) Place the pill on your middle finger โ๐ป
2.) Place treats either side of the pill so your cat smells the treat and not the medicine! ๐ฝ
3.) Watch in delight as your cat eats the pill, thinking it is a treat ๐
4.) Feed your cat the other two treats as a reward ๐ป
