Ear wax pack issue?

[Lovetodream88]

Alright well Penny had some yeast in her ears at the vet yesterday so they did that wax pack like stuff that has the antifungal and everything in it well today she is not acting like herself. She seems to be slightly aggressive with Joey and is into things she has never been into before like stealing toilet paper. (The whole roll) and she pooed in my office and other stuff. Do you think she is hurting or just that it feels weird? I'm really kinda unsure what to do. Callie had the same stuff before and never had any issues. Any opinions?

Is this is the lanolin-based pack that contains antifungals that stays in the ears for a while? I'm guessing that it feels weird and is interfering with her hearing, so she's uncomfortable. How does the pack come out, or does it go away on its own? I did a little reading on it, and they say that it causes (hopefully) temporary deafness. When Bella had an ear yeast infection, they prescribed an oily drop that we put in her ears daily and it cleared up quickly. Is there any reason they had to resort to the ear pack? If you have the name of the product, please post it so I can look up the prescribing information and side effects.

Callie had it one time and never had any issues. I think it's supposed to sorta come out on it's own and be cleaned out in two weeks. She acts like she can hear ok and has calmed down but when I get to my desk I will find the name and post it.

Here's what I found out about it. No information on side effects, though. https://www.drugs.com/vet/kc-oto-pack.html

I'm glad that Penny is doing better.

Thanks. I'm not sure I would do this treatment with her again unless it was a last resort thing.

Interesting...and good to know as I've never tried this stuff - always had ointment or drops.

Callie had it done like two years ago and never had any issues but it was after we tried several things. The drops they gave Callie once made her hide and act like she was in pain so she can't do those. They even wrote it down in her file not to give those.
