Best Answer

Yes, I had a dog with a combination yeast and staph infection on her coat that started in her ears and then spread as she scratched. I ended up with 6 weeks of pink eye, until I finally put her on very strong antibiotics and anti fungal. I was a few weeks pregnant at the time so I couldn't take the normal eye drops or medication. I ended up having just to use anti biotic eye scrubs. Happy to say dog, Mama, and future baby all were fine.
