I have 2 golden retrivers that used to suffer horrific almost bi monthly dog ear yeast infections. I fully agree with your post that the dog owner MUST take the dogs to the vets to determine exactly what the ear infection is. However in my experience pumping my dogs full of antibiotics and spending out over $2000 in the same time on vet bills and I can honestly tell you my dogs just kept getting them just as regularly and I had a massive bank bill to pay. If your dog has a yeast infection antibiotics can help, especially a one off yeast infection. If, however the dog suffers regularly, antibiotics will only damage the dogs. I was able with the help of my vet to naturally cure my dogs after the vet told me some disturbing facts and guess what? The main problem here is the drug trade is a big fat business that makes a tonne of cash. The more you go to the vets and pay for antibiotics, the more you will go back. Yeast infections can be dealt with naturally and the real issue is an allergic reaction, often due to the appalling food we feed our dogs. Remember it wasn’t all that long ago that a particular cat food company was found to have metal in the food, what was the metal-cat identity chips. The poor people had been feeding their cats, well other cats. All for money.

Always determine with the vet what the ear infection is and do what they say. However If its a yeast infection and a recurring one you may need to look at diet and and there’s a ton of anti yeast natural products that can be used when prepared correctly. For example apple cider vinegar, natural probiotic yogurt and a grushed garlic and water solution are all very anti yeast as are a number of perfectly healthy foods.

Warmest Regards
