Ear Plaques

[gbarnes]

I have a mare with ear plaques(right ear). Any suggestions on the best treatment for aural plaques and what, if any preventive steps can be taken?

I know for my dogs and cat I have a homeopathic ear cleaner (http://www.vetnpetdirect.com.au/product.php?productid=17607&cat=472&bestseller) that is very safe and effective. Trying phoning your vet and asking.


Imiquimod 5% cream (Aldara TM, 3M Pharmaceuticals) has shown early promise for the treatment of equine aural plaques and sarcoids of nearly all types and in many locations. The drug may be obtained from a human pharmacy and can be dispensed as an off label recommendation. Source (http://www.cvm.umn.edu/cic/completedstudies/lamedsurg/aldarardvm.html)
