Dog Yeast Ear Infections: Great OTC Home Remedy
If your dog is scratching their ear, there is a ‘sweet smell from the ear, and black debris in the ear canal, then they likely have a yeast ear infection. Dr Jones shows you his most effective over the counter home remedy.
Clotrimazole, or under the brand name Canesten, is an antifungal – it cost me about $5, and lasts me a year – medication from the veterinarian can be upwards of $50!
So, how much do you give? About 1/4 of an inch of cream per 20 lbs. I will squeeze it directly into their ear, and then rub the base of their ear to spread into the ear canal.
I hope this helps – please let me know in the comments below.
Hi Dr. Jones!
I have watched this video on the green tea & ACV for dogs ears. My lab/Weimaraner mix gets these infections recurrently. Vet says it’s due to allergies. I use the ear wash you recommend, it works great! Can you please tell me the name brand of the Cucurminoids supplement you recommend for allergies? I had her on Dream Coat for years which helped some, but I can no longer get it. Thanks for all you do!
Sincerely,
Kelley
