So you might want to dilute the apple cider vinegar or peroxide with an equal amount of water at first then gradually make it stronger. Try wetting a cotton ball with some apple cider vinegar and sticking in his ear, not down in his ear though, you don't want it to get stuck. You could even trick him to do this. If your dog is like mine he loves to be petted and have his ears rubbed.
My dog has had an ear infection for the past 12 weeks and nothing seems to help. First it was a year infection, then it was a rod bacteria infection, now it is an enterococcus infection, or so they say. She has been on 3 different medications, including baytril and postatex and 2 different antibiotics, has had a deep ear cleaning which required sedation and has had several ear swab/cultures. Has anyone else had this problem and, if so, how did you finally treat it.
Nutrition Smart, and asked them what I could do for my dogs ear infection. I think my dog has allergies and his ears hurt...but his ears are fairly clean all of the time. There was a lady customer who heard me asking the clerk about ear infections. So in lieu of hearing me,, she said I use Oregano oil for my ear infections...so she explained how to use it. Let me say that this works! Take a coffee mug.. mix 50% / 50% of oregano oil and olive oil.
My dog did the same thing and the vet said she had a yeast infection and bacteria. It does need treated before it swells shut. My dog is on antibiotic and prednisone and an antifungal pill. We also have to put ointment in her ears. The vet said she would be on meds until atleast May. She has been on meds for 3 weeks already.
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.
I have seen people have to use medicine for, in a couple of cases, almost 30 days to completely get rid of a yeast infection in the ears. It could be also be a case of either the wrong medication or even the right medication, just not for a long enough period of time. Your vet won't know unless you give her your feedback.
I am not familiar with the bumps but our Westie has skin problems, dermatitis/yeast - has a bad odor too. We use a medicated shampoo at least once a week that contains something to actively fight yeast infection - I forget the name of the active ingredient, Koe .. something along that line, I'm sure help will show up.
I think you are doing the right thing diet-wise, but it may be necessary to test different protein sources. I assume the "wild" line has wild type meat/fish.
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.
My Dog is a 8&1/2 year old, 160lb English Mastiff. He has had a chronic ear condition, for more then a year, with lots of brown wax building up in his very large ears. He has redness in his ear (which might be from scratching or not) and pain when he shakes his head. We have tried many different things: mite treatments, general ear cleaner with drying powder, ear cleaner with bio-active enzymes, cleaner with 1% hydrocortisone and none have kept his ears clean for more then a week.
It would be best to have his ears checked by a vet who can perform a cytology, and/or a culture and sensitivity on the ear discharge. Lately, the culture and sensitivities that I have performed have yielded surprising results, and the infected dogs, not only required topical ear medication but also required oral antibiotics or anti-fungal medications.
I'd stay away from creams for now until you can get the advice of a vet. Is there an ER vet you can call for advice in your area? I've phoned in similar questions to our ER clinic and they've always been great about answering them over the phone without insisting that we bring in the dog. As long as they know the dog is being treated by a vet, they're fine with giving medical advice over the phone. Worth a try anyway.
Have you looked inside the dog's ear? If a dog scratches his ear a lot, it's usually because there is some kind of infection going on inside. He'll need a vet to provide medications if that's what is going on.
s ear canal, rub the ear in a circular motion, and then your dog will probably shake her body out. That's okay, the vinegar solution won't all come out it will spread about a bit in the ear canal.
If the yeast infection is also just inside the outer part of her ear, then bathe the inside of her ears with a cotton wool pad and some of the solution. This doesn't want to be too wet. You don't want too much liquid going down into her ear canal.
