Simple home remedy for yeast infection in dogs ear?
My dog has had 3 ear yeast infections in 2 years. The first time she had it we took her to the vet and payed 80 bucks for drops. She didn’t like those so much. >.> The second time she got an infection it lasted several months before going away on it’s own. Now she has another one and I can’t afford to take her to the vet again. Is there some simple home remedy that I could possibly spray in her ears? I’ve heard about using alcohol and vinager(sp?) but I don’t know what the exact measurments are. >.< I’d rather it be something I could spray in her ears since she dosen’t like people messing with them too much.

I truly believe I have tried every product/home remedy on one of my dogs who suffered from yeast infections in her ears. None worked. What did work was changing her diet. Look for a grain-free food, or one without corn, wheat, and rice. Wellness Super 5 Mix, (formerly fish & sweet potato,) is what I use for her, and she never has yeast infections any more. (Except when she breaks into the chicken/cat/guinea pig/rat/human food
Good luck.
I’ve heard some people say vinegar. My mother-in-law’s Westie had constant yeast infections in her ears, and someone told her to use Monostat (not a joke). She hasn’t had a problem since (2 yrs)

At Dogearyeastinfection.com, we want your pooch to thrive and be healthy. With this in mind, we have created a site for concerned pet owners like you. Here you’ll find the latest articles, books and product recommendations to cure your dog’s ear yeast infections and learn how to keep him healthy and happy.
One home remedy touted by many as a successful way to combat a dog ear yeast infection is feeding your dog a healthy, homemade diet or a very high-quality commercial dog food that is free of corn, additives and preservatives. The reason for this is that the previous ingredients, or “toxins” as they can be referred to, can add to the amount of ear wax your dog produces, thereby increasing his risk for a dog ear yeast infection.
The adrenal glands in dogs are designed to produce a natural steroid which reduces inflammation, and adding vitamin C to their diet can help those glands work a bit more efficiently. Consult your vet on the amount you should give your pet, which will vary based on the age, weight and general health of the animal. Vitamin C can also cause diarrhea in some dogs, so it’s best to start out with very small amounts to see what they can tolerate.
Simply making sure your dog’s ears are “aired out” on a regular basis can also help prevent a dog ear yeast infection from occurring. Keep the fur and hairs trimmed or plucked to allow for better air flow, which will in turn control the growth of yeast, fungi and pesky bacteria.
As with any home remedy or natural approach, if you’re hesitant to try something new, consult with your pet’s veterinarian. They’ll offer answers to your questions about a dog ear yeast infection and point you in the right direction. The internet is also full of reliable sources that offer helpful advice and information.
The best love you can give your dog is the right kind of care to keep him or her happy and healthy for as long as possible!
Monistat. We used it for years on our labs who were very prone to getting yeast infections in their ears. Also, after you get the infection gone you can wash the ears out weekly with a solution of 1 part white vinegar to 1 part rubbing alcohol to keep them away.
