Re: Ear Insufflation for Dogs?

My dog has been diagnosed with a yeast infection in his ear. Can ozone gas

be used on dogs? Any other treatment ideas?

===================

Arrow,

Before using ozone in the ear-which in a dog is quite delicate-I'd try a few

other things. This very topic was recently discussed on a natural dog list

I'm on.

With dogs, yeast in the ear is usually symptomatic of something going on

systemically. Dogs are subject to ear yeast infections if their immunity is

weakened and they cannot fight infections. It's similar to what occurs with

humans. Perhaps your dog has a systemic yeast infection-something that would

occur very easily if you feed the animal grains (kibble). Dogs are not meant

to eat or digest grains. They are meant to eat meat, usually raw (unless

their digestion has been severely compromised, in which case I would feed

cooked meat). As with humans, grains can give dogs leaky gut.

What appears to be yeast in the ear could also be mange. Dogs with weakened

immunity are much more susceptible to the mites that cause mange; the mites

burrow into the skin and seem especially to like the ears.

You could treat the ears topically with VERY dilute essential oils, such as

lavender in jojoba or avocado carrier oil. And some ozonated olive oil would

be especially beneficial at this time.

However, I would still treat the condition systemically by supplementing

with Transfer Factor, and getting the dog on a natural diet. Probiotics seem

especially indicated here. Yeast in one part of the body tends to migrate to

other parts.

Hi Arrow. Yeast in ears is usually due to some food the dog is eating. You

may have to switch to a different brand--feeding raw is best, but I don't

know how you feel about that. Some dogs are also just prone to yeast

infections. I had a dog with long, furry ears. He would get a yeast

infection ever few years because of no air circulation there.

One of the best things ever for yeast in a dog's ears is the Blue Power

Treatment. It is a mix of 3 things which are very cheap to buy. I don't

have the recipe in front of me, but once you make it up, it will last almost

forever because just 3 or 4 treatments will clear the ears of fungus.

I've treated several dogs with this Blue Power and it has always worked,

usually almost immediately. The dog would be pawing at his ears, and/or

constantly shaking his/her head, and after just one treatment the shaking

stops. Normally I will do one treatment a day for 3 or 4 days and that has

been enough.

Just Google Blue Power Treatment for dogs. You will come up with the recipe

All ingredients can be bought at any store like Walgreens for just a

couple bucks.

I have read where people have scolded makers for putting it in dog's ears

because it contains alcohol--they say it will be too painful for the dogs if

their ears are bad. All I can say is that the very first dog I ever used

this on had clawed the inside of his ear so much that he had made it bleed

in several places and had these open cuts. When I put the treatment in he

didn't whine, like he did when he clawed himself, and neither did he scratch

any more the rest of that day. He never acted as if it hurt him, and within

4 days his ears were totally healed.

After the first day I would clean the ears out with Kleenex or something

soft, because so much gunk is loose in there. Once cleaned out without

digging too deep in the ear, just squirt more Blue Power in. When I make it

up I leave it in the alcohol bottle, but put some in a squeeze bottle with a

pointed cap, which makes it MUCH easier to get into the ear. These can be

bought in pet stores as puppy or kitten feeder bottles.

Then, just gently squirt some in, rub the ear a bit before they can shake it

out, and then stand back, because they will shake the excess out and it does

stain clothing, so wear an old shirt.

I went and looked--here is a link to the PDF of the formula and how it works

from the person that invented it. If that doesn't work, then below that is

the link to the article that leads to the PDF

Read this article as it is interesting, before clicking the link there to

Hi Arrow,

Everybody is telling you something different. How funny.

What I will pass on is what the vet told my daughter when her dog came down with

yeast. She loves her dog like a baby and is very perticular with him so she

only feeds his what is suppose to be good for him, etc. She's also very clean

and was always bathing him wanting him to look his best. What the vet told her

was water in dogs ears was the reason he came down with it. Apparently water in

the ears is a no no.

fwiw,

Gail

Dear Arrow,

I doubt he will sit for it, because it is loud.

You might try drops of ozonated water.

But that's not easy, either.

I have a cat with an ear infection tendency in the ears.

Been wondering about the same thing.

Of course with a cat.......keeping it still can be a problem.

I was thinking of filling up a bag used for rectal and slowly squeezing the bag

to deliver the ozone or just use a long hose and hold it near the ear while the

cat is sleeping.

Dear Dennis,

The cat's fur converts ozone into oxygen. We tried that 15 years ago.

Good luck on the sleeping cat!

Actually, cats will lick ozonated olive oil off the back of their paws,

because they hate to be dirty.

Dogs...not so much...

Arrow,

Swipe with a mixture of alcohol, water and vinegar...1/3 each and then let

him shake it out.

All I ask is a chance to prove that money can't make me happy.
