Guest guest Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 HI all My dog, Mochi, has had a nasty yeast infection in his ears for over a month now. The vets have tried two different medications (topical) but he still has the problem. So I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions from a holistic standpoint. We have another appointment tomorrow so if you have any ideas I'll be able to discuss them with the vet tomorrow. Many thanks! Patty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 boric acid kills yeast. I would try 1 teaspoon per cup of warm water and put that in his ear. I use it for my kids' ears and eyes for pink eye and ear infections all the time. It's perfectly safe. - Patricia West Tuesday, December 02, 2008 6:41 PM Dog Ear Infection HI all My dog, Mochi, has had a nasty yeast infection in his ears for over a month now.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 I also use boric acid for vaginal yeast infections. Used it for years and a holistic physician told me how to use it. - Patricia West Tuesday, December 02, 2008 6:41 PM Dog Ear Infection HI all My dog, Mochi, has had a nasty yeast infection in his ears for over a month now.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 A lot of ear infections in dogs are linked to food allergies .. I used to have a female shepherd that had a lot of problems with her ears and infections I used a mix my herbologist made for me of gold seal and grape seed oils they may have been golden rod in there as well. I would warm a dropper full and put It in the ear and massaged the base of the ear cleared her right up. This also used in my sons ears when little stopped the doctors from having to put tubes in his ears . - Patricia West Tuesday, December 02, 2008 7:41 PM Dog Ear Infection HI all My dog, Mochi, has had a nasty yeast infection in his ears for over a month now.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 Alright, I am bummed now, I had an awesome recipe for this and cannot find it. I know the ingredients though, it is witch hazel, boric acid and tea tree oil. Luckily I still have a bunch of it for my dog. It works great. I had found it on a vet's website. I will keep looking.
