Hi /an/, dog owner here.
I have a dog who suffers from chronic ear infections (floppy eared labrador in a wet climate). In one ear she usually develops a bacterial infection, and in the other a yeast infection. Over the years my vet has prescribed me Zymox to treat the bacterial, and Surolan to the yeast infection. Over the summer she got an infection, and I decided to pay out for the Zymox *advanced formula* which knocked her itching and pain out way faster than the regular formula (pictured). The problem is, that shit's 30$ for 1.25 fl oz and I can go through a bottle every couple weeks. Does anyone know any other, possibly offbrand medications that could be as effective? Or a site that sells these medications in bulk for less? I know I'm going to be treating her off and on all fall/winter/spring again, so I want to stay on top of it.

it's cheaper on Amazon.
if you need to keep using this kind of medication, you should probably try and figure out a different way to treat the issue. it's an enzymatic cleaner, so there's no exact generic. I couldn't even find one, actually.
I'd try using both, use the zymox plus regularly as well as the cheaper regular...

once you get the infection cleared up you can make a rinse out of rubbing alcohol and use that to clean and dry her ears out after she's out getting wet

rubbing alcohol is really rough on ears and can cause permanent damage. seriously, don't use rubbing alcohol on yourself or an animal.
for cleaning ears, I use a mix of boric acid, witch hazel, and iodine.

A change in diet might help with the yeast infections at least
