Hi XXXXXXX
If it is just a yeast infection without any bacteria then using a different
ear medication may be safer.  Conofite or other miconazole drops can be
used.  Also Lotrimin or other clotrimazole drops can be used.  Tresaderm or
the new Baytril drops can also be used for mild yeast infection.  The other
big thing is to clean the wax out of the ears daily.  Yeast need the wax
to survive.  Yes you can use Otomax, but as Dr Williams pointed out the
antibiotic in it (gentocin) as some risk to it.
 
Hope that helps,
