fungus infection in ears?

just had mischa at vet as i noticed she had some dry scaly skin on her ears. vet thinks its a fungus/yeast infection and have been given abx for her. did not notice any mites and its definitely not right inside her ear.
anyone have any experience of this?
 
I don't have any experience on this, but I didn't want to read and run. I'm bumping this for you so hopefully someone can come along and give you the answer. :)

I hope Mischa will recover quickly. xxxxx
 
Systemic Antibiotics wont treat a fungal infection :?

Do you mean that eardrops were prescribed, something like Canaural ?
 
i have no experience of this i'm afraid but as jane says, i'm not sure abx would treat the fungal infection - unless it had been irritated and become infected?
 
i was given baytril mixed with orange juice! new vet at the practice, not seen her before, seems she is not long qualified, also stabbed herself with a needle and had blood pouring out of her finger! to take Mischa back if the ear doesn't clear!
