Monistat for Dog Ear Infections

Can you use Monistat in a dog's ear instead of Mometamax? I can't afford a vet.

It also depends on what kind of ear infection your dog has. It could be a yeast infection or a bacterial infection, which means they would be treated differently.

Here is the link to make Blue Power Ear Wash for dogs that really works and keeps them fresh smelling.
You can get the boric acid powder at Family Dollar a great deal cheaper that is used for killing ants. It's pure boric acid; no additives.

Gentian violet can be purchased at the pharmacy dept.
I like to use the green alcohol at Family Dollar because it smells fresh and has a pleasant scent.
I use this homemade recipe on my cocker spaniels and they have been ear infected clear; just follow directions. Scroll to bottom of page on this link to find the recipe. Good luck!

My beagle suffers from ear infections so often and it was getting to expensive to keep going to the vet, so I read that Monistat for women will work. I tried it and after three days it was clear, follow the daytime treatment with a nighttime ear wash and this should do the trick. Hope it helps.

I've heard this actually works, but beware of long term effects and the fact it's not a natural product. It's tested for humans not dogs. (04/21/2009)
