Dosage For Dog Ear Infection Bactrim

My beagle keeps a yeast infection in his ears all the time. No matter how many times I take him to the vet, it goes away for a week or two and it's back again. He has seizures and also he weighs 60 pounds, now I know he's overweight but I need to know how much bactrim I can give him to clear up his ear infection. I cannot take him to the vet right now I just don't have the cash for that. So any information you could give me would be greatly appreciated.

Bactrim is an antibiotic, it can only treat bacterial infections, it will not treat yeast infections. It can be used in dogs, according to NIH reports, and is safe for them, but it should not be given, without a veterinarians approval. It can also cause side effects in dogs, such as nausea, dizziness, skin rash, and diarrhea, similar to those it can cause in people, according to FDA reports.

What was he given before to treat his yeast infection?

What does he take to prevent seizures? There is also a risk of there being interactions between the medications, so you have to be very careful.

Have you tried calling your vet for advice?

Do you have any idea what is causing the yeast infections? Some medications can also cause yeast infections as a side effect.
