Natural Treatment for Yeast Infection in Dog's Ears

I took Molly (Basset Hound) to the vet because I thought she had ear mites, and I could not get rid of them. The vet told me it was yeast. She advised me to take white vinegar and hydrogen peroxide and mix 1 to 1 and clean her ears. I did, and she has not had a problem since. I still clean her ears with the same solution to keep it from reoccurring.

RE: Natural Treatment for Yeast Infection in Dog's Ears

I went to an alternative vet for my dog's seizures. She mentioned that weight gain and chronic ear infections are an indication of an allergy to corn. Just thought I'd mention it since so many foods and treats have corn in them. She also said that half of the dogs that came to her that had seizures, when taken off of wheat products, stopped having them, something a regular vet had never told me. Also, real vinegar from the health food store is antifungal, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory. White vinegar from the grocery store is actually derived from tar...not vinegar at all!! I use the natural vinegar to wash out my dogs' ears, diluted with a lot of water, routinely. You wouldn't need the peroxide with it. I only use "white vinegar" for cleaning. Good luck!

A daily spoonful of plain yogurt with live and active cultures will prevent future infections. My Lhasa Apso George suffered from chronic yeast in his ears and Xymox treatment was expensive. The yogurt's bacteria prevents the yeast's growth. George has not had ANY problems with yeast since having a daily spoonful of yogurt (plain, to keep the sugar content low).
