Because our vet says he dosn't actually know what the cause is She was even given annesthetic and they took a swob from her.Thanks Pippa3333 Report Spam or Abuse RE: Dog With Smelly Ears Post By teri (Guest Post) (01/18/2008) My dog has hot spots in the ear and I'm using sulfodene first aid skin medication for dogs. You can get it in wal mart or martins food store and thay have the shampoo, too.

And you need to watch what percentage you buy. (there are a range of strengths.) The vet's recommendation for ears is 1:3 ratio of hydrogen peroxide 3% and water.

Thank You Michelle Young Report Spam or Abuse RE: Dog With Smelly Ears Post By Tara (Guest Post) (02/03/2006) Try the vinegar solution...my Neuffy has the same problem. 16oz alcohol, 4TBS Boric Acid, and 16 drops G. Violet Tincuture. Cheaper than the vet...mine requires "ear checks", BUT you must be consistent cleaning the ears!""""

We heard about this Zymox Otic that is suppose to help. We were just wondering if there was anything we could use to dry up the ear and help her with the infection. Like if there were any home remedies or anything. Please let us know. If there are any remedies please give us the ingredients and the directions. Thank You.

I asked the vet if there was anything I could use at home to take care of the problem. He said to use distilled white vinegar a couple times a month to wash her ears. It has been two years now and we haven't had problems with her ears since we have been using the vinegar. bj Report Spam or Abuse RE: Dog With Smelly Ears Post By kathy berrong (Guest Post) (07/20/2005) Hi, try hydrogen peroxide. Just a few drops in each ear. It will foam try to keep in each ear for as long as you can? Hope this helps.

From the message board of MAESSR (Mid Atlantic English Springer Spaniel Rescue), here's the "recipe" for the popular Blue Voodoo, which is widely claimed to prevent doggie ear infections: 1 pint alcohol 4 TBSP Boris acid 16 drops gentian violet Wipe the inside of his ears several times a week with this solution on a cotton swab. Just let it dry in there. But don't wear your good clothes, because he will shake his head and, well, you know all about that, I'm sure. (I have not used this solution on my own dog -- I'm just passing on the info.) Many people also say it's helpful to feed a tablespoon of plain yogurt once a day. One more thing I've learned is that "sore" ears and head shaking are sometimes caused by matted hair behind or near the ears. Our male, Magic, has this problem frequently. Good luck with your dog. zballoongirl Report Spam or Abuse
