I have a dog with an ear infection. I can't afford the vet. Is there a home remedy I can use? please help!!!

Answer 1

Vets probably don't have a lot of experience with natural antibiotics. With a natural antibiotic like garlic, it doesn't matter what kind of infection it is. You can treat this at home just like you would yourself. God made the ingredients, so it is safe.

GARLIC-natural antibiotic

Scientists have discovered 1 basic component of Penicillin and that is Penicillin. Garlic has at least 35 components that scientists have not figured out yet. Garlic is one of nature's strongest antibiotics. Bacteria can not figure out out its complex structure, therefore they can not build a resistance to it. GARLIC CAN EVEN TREAT THE STREP AND STAPH INFECTIONS!

There are a lot of natural antibiotics: Acacia, Aloe, Echinacea, Eucalyptus, Garlic, Ginger, Goldenseal, Honey, Juniper, many more. These are in a list of the top 15.

We do everything that we can do naturally to treat illnesses. We've never had a dog with an ear infection, but if we had this is what we would do. If it's good enough for our babies (3 yrs and 15 months), it's good enough for our dog.
The following instructions are for human use, but you can figure it out for a canine.

Prepare a simple garlic oil to keep on hand for future use.
Garlic Infused Olive Oil
1 bottle olive oil
3-4 cloves garlic, peeled and quartered
Drop garlic slices into olive oil and close tightly. Let bottle sit in a dark place for 2-3 days. Strain out all of the garlic and store the bottle at room temperature. You can refrigerate it, but it will solidify. Just set it on the counter and it will begin to return to its liquid state.
USES for Garlic Oil:
EAR INFECTION:Warm some oil to a comfortable temperature (at least room temperature) and put a couple of drops into an infected ear. Also massage some oil into the skin around the ear and on the neck. This allows the oil to absorb into the lymph nodes. If you use cold oil it will cause more pain. Do this as often as desired.
EAR ACHE: Same as above OR you can peel a clove of garlic and stick it into the opening of the ear-just like you would a hearing aid. (This is more feasible for adults than children.) The pain should deminish within the hour (or soon thereafter). (personal testimony of a friend who tried this)

THRUSH: Dip finger in garlic oil and swab baby's mouth with it, or use a dropper to put a drop on baby's tongue. Do not rinse immediately. Baby may not like the taste, but this will work. Do this as often as desired. (I have two girls under 3-this works!)

COUGH WITH CHEST CONGESTION: Warm some garlic oil to a comfortable temperature. Lie the child on her back and massage the oil into the lymph nodes on her back, chest, and under her arms, paying close attention to the area around her rib cage. Then turn child on her stomach and rub her back with it. Do this as often as desired during the day, but especially before bedtime. (I have only had to do this 2 nights in a row to get results).

STAPH INFECTION: That's right- staph infection-namely nasal impetigo. Use a cotton swab to apply garlic oil to the inside of infected nare(s). Do this all day long whenever you think about it. This may take a few weeks (longer if you only treat once or twice a day). After some time, you will notice that your nostrils are not as sore to the touch as they were before you applied the oil. Impetigo on other parts of the body-legs, arms, etc.? Similarly apply garlic oil to sores. (personal experience)

SORE THROAT: Put a couple of drops of garlic oil onto the back of the throat. Then massage oil onto the outside of throat area. It may take a while (20-40 minutes) to feel results, but it beats taking medication. You can even teach a child to do this.

My rule of thumb with garlic oil is: If it is an infection, try garlic oil.
My midwife even told me to put some on my lower eyelid when I had an infection. It did burn a little, but it healed the infection.
Garlic oil can be irritating to the skin, so you might want to add a little more olive oil to it before applying it directly to the skin.

*NOTE: There is a risk of botulism when dealing with homemade garlic oils (IF the garlic remains in the oil). Here is a reference:
"When raw garlic is stored in oil, Clostridium botulinum (botulism) bacteria can grow. These mixtures must be refrigerated to slow bacterial growth. After 2 weeks of refrigeration, the increased number of bacteria will become a food safety hazard. Therefore, these mixtures should not be refrigerated longer than 2 weeks.

When garlic is immediately removed after flavoring oil, the bacteria will not have a "food source" for growth. The flavored oil can be stored safely at room temperature."

Don't give that vet a penny.....:)

Answer 2

It's probably ear mites causing the infection. They get in the ear, tear it up, and then a fungus gets in there and creates an infection.

If nothing else, put warm salt water in each ear to kill the fungus. It will dry out the infection, too. Try 5 tablespoons of table salt to a cup of luke warm water. Don't use hot water or you'll hurt the dog even more. Keep this up for a week. Maybe you can find a free vet in the meantime. Call around and ask.

Use the above suggestion at your own and the dog's own risk. But, it worked on a camping trip once on a sick cat with an ear infection.

Answer 3

There are no home remedies. You need a vet to take a swab to determine if this is a yeast or bacterial infection. Your dog needs antibiotics and won't fight the infection without them. She is in very serious pain so you need to find the money to pay a vet. Your dog will lose her hearing very soon because it sounds as though this is a long standing infection, not something recent. Though losing her hearing is the least of her worries when she's in so much pain. Do without a few things for yourself. If you can't pay to have your dog treated you need to surrender her to a no kill shelter where she'll get the treatment she needs. To allow her to suffer such pain is animal cruelty.

Answer 4

There is no safe home remedy, especially since you don't have a proper diagnosis to know what type of ear infection you are dealing with. Self medicating can cause serious problems even deafness...this dog needs to see a vet.

***** dogs aren't prone to earmites, so do NOT treat for this unless a vet has definately diagnosed this problem!!!! ******

Answer 5

My dog's ear was getting red and itchy and he kept shaking it alot.....I bought "Petgold" Mite-X Ear Mite Remedy and Ear Cleaner liquid solution and it cleared it up....u can buy it at Petco. Remember to cut the hairs around the ears often and clean the ears often w/ the solution (read the directions). You can pour the solution in the ear and rub the ear so that the dirt comes out. Good Luck!!

Answer 6

Often times there are freee vet clinics in the aera
sometimes humane socities will treat dog at no cost
or because 99% of vets love animals you can come to some sort of agreement

Answer 7

A dog should be trained on how to eat, walk with you, not to bark, potty training and sleep on its place etc. You can teach anything to your puppy, dogs get trained easily with some good instructions. If you want some good training tips visit https://tinyurl.im/Zu9KN

If properly trained, they should also understand whistle and gesture equivalents for all the relevant commands, e.g. short whistle or finger raised sit, long whistle or flat hand lay down, and so on.

It's important that they also get gestures and whistles as voice may not be sufficient over long distances and under certain circumstances.

Answer 8

If it is not a virus then washing them out with peroxide should take care of it. If your dog will let you... put a few drops of the peroxide in the ear and let it bubble for a little while. This is what the doctor told me to do for myself and the vet told me the same for the cat. If it is ear mites though you will need ear mite medicine. Alcohol also works (maybe even better) but I tried it on myself and it hurts more. Good luck!

Answer 9

Mix in even amounts, water, vinegar and peroxide and put a couple of drops in each ear rub the ears to make sure it gets in it good. At first do it twice a day. This should help, I do this to my dogs ears.

Answer 10

Answer 11

Dogs are naturally sociable animals, and to keep one confined one at home is both cruel and unnecessary. All mutts yearn for the freedom to run around and play in the sun, meet other people and other dogs. Many owners are understandably wary of granting their pets such freedom for fear that the dog would simply run away or even attack another animal or person.

Owners of badly behaved pets are in a constant state of worry about their pets. They live in fear of the day when their bad-tempered, poorly trained canine will snap. In such situations dog training is the only solution. While it may seem like a tough task at first, all the hard work you do training your pet will be more than worth it in the end.

What to Expect from Dog Training?

Obedience training, generally speaking, is comprised of several different stages. Dog trainers start with the basics, and build on that. There are no shortcuts when it comes to training your dog. If your dog doesn't understand the basic commands like 'sit', 'stand', 'come' and 'stay' then there's no point in teaching it more advanced commands. Advanced commands can range in anything from asking your dog to fetch to making it roll over or sit up and beg.

Training your dog can take many forms; some of the more popular dog training methods include reward training, clicker training, obedience-training games, and collar or leash training. Whichever method you use, your dog training efforts should, in the end, change that ill-tempered and unmanageable mutt into a quiet, well-behaved dog.

Is Dog Training Really Worth it?

The answer would be a resounding YES! As a pet owner you are responsible for the well-being and maintenance of your dog. While this includes the basics such as food, shelter and love, it also includes the time and effort you put into making your dog safer around your family and community.

The newspapers are full of stories of irresponsible pet owners whose pets run wild, cause damage, and hurt other people. It is not enough to simply look after the basic needs of your dog; you are also responsible for its general behavior and the way it interacts with the world at large.

Can I Train my Dog by Myself?

While it is always easier to get a professional dog trainer to handle your mutt's training, most dog owner's prefer to handle the training themselves. You can do it on your own, provided you come prepared. A little knowledge can go a long way, and this is especially true in dog training. Attend a dog training class with your pet to pick up pointers from an expert; read dog training books and guides; take part in online discussion forums with other dog owners. You will find that your dog training sessions will go a lot easier if you have some prior knowledge of what to expect and some pointers on how to best control the animal.

There is no quick fix for a pet with behavioral problems and no easy way to train it. There will be times during your pet training sessions that you will lose your temper or your dog may snap at you out of frustration. Don't be disheartened! Keep at it, and by the end of your dog training session you will find that you and your dog have bonded like never before.

Training a dog is one of those rites of passage every pet owner has to go through. Ultimately it can be a highly rewarding and supremely gratifying experience for both you and your four-legged pet.
