Common Questions and Answers about Dog yeast infection home treatment
yeast-infection
My dog has a mild yeast infection in her left ear but she may have a tear in her eadrdrum. The vet gave us TrizEDTA but due to her losing her hearing from Tri-Otic, we didn't want to use any more ear medication that can cause hearing loss. I've recently started making her home cooked meals, wipe her down with apple cider vinegar+water, and flushing her ears out every other day plus cleaning the outer part of her ears on days I don't flush.
It isn't possible to say what would work until the problem is understood. For example, if the dog also has a smell it may be a skin dermatitis or yeast infections. Some breeds seem to be more prone to yeast. If that's the case a medicated treatment that disrupts the yeast infection has to be used. It is possible to get over-the-counter medicated dog shampoo with 1% (I think that's the small level) ketoconazole which can help stop yeast.
Okay I know the symptoms and know its a yeast infection. Couldn't contact my doctor to make sure it was okay to take it. Did you ever let your doctor know?
I suggest you go to the doctor and confirm if it's a yeast infection or not. If you treat yourself for yeast infection and have a bacterial vaginosis instead, you will only make it worse.
ll be more accepting of it. Secondly your dog can be treat systemically for yeast infections with Fluconazole or Ketoconazole. Both are human drugs too so you can try online pharmacys like Costco.com or price shop your local pharmacys just ask you vet what the dose and quantity would be and try to save some money for yourself. He does need to get his ears cleaned out though so try the muzzle. Did they prescibe an antifugal ear drop? Clotrimazole is good for really subborn yeast.
Hi. I completely agree with everything skydnsr has said. Ear infections in dogs is very common, and almost always due to either mites or yeast infection and/or allergies of many kinds. The inner ears of a dog are fragile and susceptible to infection due to the close surface blood vessels. But the real question is, what is it that your dog has become allergic to (unless the reaction/inflammation has come from another dog or something else like due to diet).
well your going to just have to tell your my mom about it so u guys can go to a doctor to see if its a yeast infection. but if u want some home remedies if u try not to eating anything with yeast & eat some yogurt with no sugar or fruit.
Is it possible for a female dog to get a yeast infection? She has been licking herself more than usual and I noticed she left a brownish discharge after sitting on a blanket. She doesn't whine or seem uncomfortable and is just as active as usual. Is there a homeopathic remedy that I can give her? BTW, she is spayed.
The smells bad and itch sounds like it might be a Yeast infection - I don't know the medicine you said was prescribed.
Yeast/dermatitis can be treated with a shampoo containing Ketaconazole (sp? this is a hard one, but my spelling is close enough). I have purchased it over-the-counter for about $10 at Walmart.. may have been an "Adams" brand The active ingredients are listed on the bottle.
For a small dog one bottle would be enough for 3 maybe 4 baths.
Taysien is a shelter dog he stayed with another family and the dog that they owned had an ear issue they said was a yeast infection of the ear? Their vet gave them pills for the dog to take an it cleared up. Our dog got this ear issue while there and we went to our vet and told them what had happened to their dog. They told us that it required steroids and put him on them this made him aggressive. We were told to discontinue the steroids.
Have you had the yeast cultured to see what kind it is? There is an ear medication called Otomax that is used to cure yeast infections in the ear and it is very effective against the Malassezia pachydermatis yeast organism. Why not talk to your vet about using Otomax if you have not yet tried it?
I had the same trouble with one of my dogs. Every summer she got yeast infections in her feet. She'd cool off in the pool, and since she had big hairy toe pads, they harbored moisture and made a perfect environment for fungus. The stench was horrible!
My vet recommended Dermachlor Flush Plus, and it was a godsend. It comes in a bottle and I'd squirt it on her toe pads and in between her toes twice a day for 3 days. Fungus gone.
