Natural remedy Dog Ear Infection
Carisa, can you help me my lab mixed has a ear infection and we can't afford any vet and not a medication for her. Thank you so much for helping our pet's your right they are family!
Thank you for reaching out, I know you love your furbaby!
First their are several types of ear infection, Chronic from alleriges and food including the ear flap being down these dogs get ear infections the most, Next bathing your pet to much and water is in the ear and begins to grow bacteria creating a infection and not cleaning your pets ears proper each week.
1. Mix equal parts peroxide and water to create a teaspoon, or pure witch hazel which is very hard to find. Then allow it to run into the infected ear. Calm our dog an hour ahead with diffusing essential oils in the air of lavendar, Ylang Ylang or vetiver. (you can get them at beautybycarisa.com $6-$8 each 10ml and 100% Clinical grade BIG difference between 100% pure and clinical , you want clinical which is what is on my web site. $10 or more free shipping. So either you choose it's under $15 and they will serve more purpose than just to relax your pet down the road for your whole family I promise and they last. Much cheaper than a vet visit and medication purchase that may not work and will need to be seen by the Dr again each time. Now ALERT: (Perfume quality or aromatherapy grade oils can cause more harm than good especially if using them topically because they are distilled using solvents or are adulterated. ) Pure clinical grade oils are steam distilled and do not contain any chemicals.
What oils are good for cleaning the ear daily and or before our next step? These are the most popular oils that are used as dog ear cleaners. information!
Lavender Essential Oil
Bergamot Essential Oil
You need a base oil , cotton swabs, and of course, your essential oils. I use sweet almond oil or you can use a pure grade vegetable oil for blending; but you can use any pure grade vegetable oil.
DO NOT not use baby oil, mineral oil or petroleum based oils! These products further clog skin pores and may create another problem rather than preventing one!
*use about 3-5 drops of for example lavender with about a teaspoon of oil, wipe the ear clean of dirt and wax and gently into the open part of the canal.
2. An hour later after your fur baby shook hear head and now has a dry ear. Pop a Vit E gel cap with a drop of Oregeno Essential oil and relax the fur baby, massage the back of the ear drum and simply allow the oil to drain into your pet's ear. Keep your pet laying by massage allow them to shake the head if they want to keep massaging, reassurance and belly rubs for about 10 mins. Then off they go.
If the liquid is too cold you can cause additional discomfort, if the liquid is to hot you can cause discomfort and damage; If you need to warm the solution up to room temperature simply take the solution, place it in a vial, dropper, small glass or bowl (dropper with the open end up) and sit the vial, dropper, glass or bowl in a larger vessel (glass or bowl) that contains a little warm water – this will warm the solution up quickly.
This should be repeated for about a week soon they should no longer shake their head and the ear infection will be healed up.
Hope this helped smile emoticon
