Dog Yeast Infection Archives

my dog has a yeast infection and we cant go to a vet what are some natural ways to solve it. I Heard that vinegar and water works but where do i put it?
I never said she had discharge, we’ve been to the vet and they said it was a yeast infection and its the same exact symptoms as before.

I would put your dog on digestive enzymes. They contain priobotics like acidophillus (like the stuff in yogurt) and would probably help solve the problem. My parents use some called Dr. Goodpet but I don’t know where they get it.

You may have to start cleaning his ears regularly. My dog gets ear infections a lot too. It could also be from a food alergy. Just have your vet take a look at it. I clean out my dogs ears every week *now that it’s under control* and when he starts itching, I just squeeze some panalog into his ear to soothe it. Your vet will have something for you.

same day?? Interceptor is for heartworm my dog takes it monthy. I just wanted to make sure it was okay to give her both in the same day?? Please help!

It will be fine to give her both but give her 1 then the other about 2 hours later.


My dog had a yeast infection when I brought her home from the breeder. The veterinarian said that it could have been caused by water getting into the ear. My dog has floppy ears, so this is probably what happened. Her yeast infection was bad, so the Vet cleaned her ear out and sent me home with some drops that I put into her ear each day for about 2 weeks. It cleared up fine and I have had no problems since, since I really watch her ears when I bathe her.

Weve tried the steroids from the vet, weve tried the yogart supplements, no more human food, wheat free food!!! Im at a loss! help

Many yeast infections are allergy related…either food allergies or outdoor allergies. First, I’d try a good food formulated for dogs with food allergies, like California Natural or Natural Balance (they have several formulas-look for the allergy ones…ALL California Natural products are for allergic dogs). After that-back to the vet…ask for an ANTI FUNGAL…and ask why the vet gave you only steroids to start with…steroids do not treat fungus…they’ll treat inflammation.

If this is an ongoing issue, ask about preventative treatments (putting medication in the ear once per week), or ask about allergy testing.

I can’t afford a vet right now .

don’t know about the antibiotic’s but if you keep the ears dry and apply some Camphor oil 1 or 2 times daily it works on rabbits, why not canines?

She is a Spaniel/Dachshund mix, and has long floppy ears. For about a month now her ears have been itching horribly and they have a foul odor. I have been cleaning her ears out with ear cleaner and it doesn’t seem to be going away?? I have heard about using Monistat for ear yeast infections for dogs…I was wondering if anyone else has tried it and it worked!!Thanks for your comments and help :)
**I also notice that when I look in her ears…it looks kind of dry and scaly looking?? Is that yeast or what?? My mother has a poodle and her ears get exactly like that, she took her to the vet and it was yeast infection, they gave her something similiar to Monistat and it cleared it up!

I wouldn’t reccomend using Monistat for your dog’s ear infection. There are several different types of ear infections….one being a yeast infection and another common type is a bacterial infection. My dog Rascal also has floppy ears that cover up the actual inner ear part and he is constantly getting ear infections. My advice to you is to you is to first take him to the vet and get the perscription from the vet for the proper type of infection that she has. Once you know what kind of infection it is and it re-occurs later you can always go to a pet med website and order the medicine directly from the website instead of going back to the vet a million times and get charged not only for the medicine but the exam. I would only reccomend you treating it this way if you know for sure it looks the same as the last time your dog got the infection. I know with my dog it looks the same and smells the same. Also another really important thing is to really keep the dog’s ears clean. The first product i used was a wipe with stuff on it to clean the ears. However this product wouldn’t reach down into the ear canal where all of the infection was at so my vet recommended a liquid ear cleaner that you can pour into the dogs ear and squeeze the ear and gently rub it deeper into the ear. After you do that you just wipe the excess liquid out of the ear. I would reccommend that now while she has the infection to clean the ear pretty good every day until the medicine you get from your vet starts making good progress. Always clean the ear first and let it dry before you put the medicine in otherwise it’s pointless to use the medicine as it will be washed out and not effective. Also i don’t recommend using q-tips or sticking anything down into your dogs ears that you can’t see where its going…that might harm a dog’s ears more than help them. Only a vet should be probing in your dogs ears with a cotton swab.

If your dog is prone to getting ear infections over and over again i would clean your dogs ears out on a weekly basis after the infection is gone and keep a good look out for any signs of a new infection and really nip it in the butt before it is a full blown infection.

Ear infections in dogs can be serious if left untreated or not treated properly. The end result could be your dog losing its hearing or even might require your dog to have ear surgery. Not fun for your pocket book or your doggie! That’s why its sooooo important to at least go to your vet before you decide to start administering any kind of medicine. Also let your vet know if the medicine they prescribe is working and if its not let them know!!

My dog has a yeast infection in his ears. I have not been very consistent with putting the medicine in his ears every night. Earlier, he shook his head and blood droplets were slung everywhere. What should I do? Should I put the medicine in now…would it do any good?
