Dog Ear Infection: Easy OTC Home 'Kitchen' Recipe 

This dude is a treasure

You are such an amazing vet and person! You truly care about animals and their owners. As a senior citizen on a limited budget, you provide me with affordable alternatives that I can do at home. Thanks so very much!!!❤

Thank you for your help. My dog had chronic ear infections for 6 months. They would return every few weeks. It was 300 dollars a pop to see the vet and additional costs for ear hematomas being drained. I tried your previous recipe and he has not had an ear infection since. The OTC med , when needed , cost me 1.50 at the dollar store.

I use apple cider vinegar,filter water & coconut oil equal amounts. Works perfect on my shar-pei.

It is the food, grains rice corns.

What a good dog! My dogs just hear me grab the cotton balls and they head for the hills!

YOU ARE THE GREATEST VET EVER !!! MAY GOD REWARD YOU WITH THE BEST OF EVERYTHING !!!

My dog has had ongoing ear mites. I finally came up with my own solution…..which has after two years of on off issue……has cleared it up. I used castor Oil mixed in with a very little DE (diatomaceous earth). I mixed it up and then put a few drops in her ear and rubbed it so it went down the ear canal. After about one week I noticed a big difference, and I put a few drops in every 3-5 days. I sort of forgot about it and checked after 2 months…..her ear is finally getting white again like the other one. I’m talking just a little bit of this substance - not a lot and it made a huge difference.

I use a Q tip of coconut oil in my dogs ear every week to prevent yeast and inflammatory issues due to its anti viral, bacterial, yeast properties it keeps them healthy then use vinegar water to flush ear to clean grime when dirty from mud and dirt rolling fun!

Be sure to let it warm.to room temp before you put the left overs in. The cold will make them very dizzy. Its not fun.

I checked it out once in a drugstore, the vaginal treatment (Monistat) was more expensive than the treatment for Athlete's Foot, and was the exact same ingredients!! Make sure to check the label first, just in case it's a different foot one that may be toxic for dogs. ;)

Thank you so much for this! My girl gets ear infections quite often, and the vet visits are almost unaffordable anymore. Thank you!!

I have always used Clortrimazole that I get from Walmart right on the shelf Clean your dogs ears and use a q tip and swab the entire goes away quickly

Hello doctor and friends on RU-vid, I noticed a soft lump under my dogs neck and we massaged it and it went away, a few days later she developed a hard lump on her cheek overnight it made her whole face swell she couldn't even see, I took her to the vet he said it was infection of salivary glands and prescribed antibiotics for two weeks and said for her to come back, I asked about draining it and he said no. 3 days later the huge lump ruptures, blood and pus everywhere (the office was closed I couldn't take her ) over 24 hours her face and neck drained. Only problem is now there is a gaping hole and I can see inside her, I took her back to the vet and he mentioned it being really difficult and he doesn't know how things are going to go because the skin is dead, he mentioned maybe doing surgery to cut off the dead tissue or she might have to go to a specialist to get a graft done but he said that can cost over 10k so that's usually the end for a dog. She is back to her playful self, eating drinking, you wouldn't think this is all going on by looking at her. But more holes are opening up on her cheek and draining pus. I am so sorry this is so long, you are a vet I trust and I wanted to reach out to see you have any tips. I am a recent college grad looking for a job and I keep getting the run around every time I take her to the vet, which I don't mind spending money for my fur baby but I'm not even sure if it's helping. I believe Jesus designed us and our pets to repair and heal, but this vet is making it seem impossible. I can’t fathom putting a dog down when they are eating playing drinking water, the wound is very very graphic and nothing is covering it so the vet bandaged it. I appreciate any advice at all this dog is my baby. You are amazing Dr. Jones

I clicked the link!! I wish I found you when my Pitbull was still alive (RIP Chica Mona). She was allergic to everything & her poor ears were so bad. We spent. Lot of $$ at the vet. Apoquel didn’t work for her allergies.

My lab blend had them constantly. I started making her food, cooked meat with raw ground mixed in, an egg and egg shell powder. Add sardines a couple days a week. Also put in a scoop of Veterinary Secrets Ultimate Canine powder! No more ear infections! 👍❤️

I absolutely love your home remedies. Having 4 dogs and 3 cats your advice definitely helps. Thankfully they're all very healthy, we stay away from kibble and over vaccinating

You described my dog's ears to a T. He constantly has the black stuff. Thank you so much!

Share everywhere!! The vets are doing surgeries that leave dogs deaf for this common problem. They are over prescribing antibiotics making the ear infection way worse and then they say they need to operate. This happened to my friends little 3 year old bill dog and it was so so unnecessary for the dog to go deaf . 😢

Great info! My dog had recurring ear infections until I started making her dog food in a crock pot. She rarely has ear problems now. Most dog food is "dead" food.

I al so Happy, that you talked about that , my dog suffers now from an ear infection. And here a cream from the doc is 40 Euro, and hand shaking another 35. So now I do my own medicine. I heard in the past canasten is the same. One canesten costs here in Spain 7 Euro. Can't thank you enough. How can I get your book. Because my dog has yeast coming out of the ear and looses his coat with circles, was red like allergy, but now has everywhere wholes in his coat , very scary. And I now the normal veterinary would do loads of tests and charge 400 Euro. So I try it all one. I looked your other videos and I hope he gets rid of it too. Love hugs and blessings to you You do a good job, you build a good karma for yourself

Thank you so much! I was going to call my vet today and make an appointment. Will try this instead! Bless you!!

This is fantastic!! Thank you so much. Been following you for many years and you always have great content. ❤🐾🐾

Hi Dr Jones😊 With my first chihuahua, vets told me to regularly clean my dog’s ears with their products. My dog ended up with ear infections because of this. When my dog was 12 years old I took him to a farm vet and she told me dogs ears are self cleaning so don’t do anything with their ears. My first chihuahua passed and I got 2 chihuahua brothers. I’ve never touched their ears and they are 9 years old and have never had an issue.😁 Great video! You’re awesome!❤️🙏

Wish I had known this many years ago. I had a large Terrier / Poodle mix named Falkor. And yes, he looked just like him! He got ear infections several times, and it cost us a fortune at the vet. Thank you so much for everything that you do for our fur babies. 😊

Love this channel so much! Have you ever thought of a hardcover edition of your free ebook? I would totally buy it.

I thank you for ur info. Vet visits r quite steep.

Thank you for the valuable info. You have saved us out here a lot of money. Your videos are very helpful.

When we lesser mortals get our treatments ready for our pets, they tend to sneakily slink away. They do not lie happily watching the proceedings and then graciously let us pour gloopy gubbins down their poor itchy tiggies without fussing. My dog had such itchy ears, drops sliding down was more then she could bear. We massaged just like you did and then when we let go, she'd shake like crazy while the drops and fungal goo were sprayed all over us and the living room; Nice! Of course, then, we thought it was ear mites flying everywhere and maybe that was why she kept picking them up again? I love how helpful and entertaining you and your pets are, sharing your knowledge.

Your dog is well behaved I have a pit bull who hates to have his ears touched. He jumps like a wild horse when I try to even clean his ears. Any recommendations please.

Will this work for CATS as well ?? T.Y👍 Internet states you can.. .. .. .. Please reply ... T.Y🥰

Thank you so much for all your recipes for food and medicine for my babies!I've learned a bunch from you and I'm thankful for your channel! Thank you and God bless ❤

Will this work for cats too? Thanks for always helping us out :)

We’re going to try the krill, quercitin and the cbd oil … fingers crossed. The costs of returning the vet has been outrageous despite my best efforts 😭😭 I feel horrible for my pup

I have followed you for quite awhile. You have saved me so much money. Thank you so much. Your the greatest

How about using colloidal silver water? I've heard this is good for cats and dogs.

THANK YOU! I needed to know this!

Great information! Thank you!

Chirpy says thank you 🥰

Thank you Doc for your recipes. This helps a lot! God Bless you Doc. You are Awesome!

Thank you this help a lot 😊

Are you recommending this now in place of the green tea/apple cider vinegar cleaning?

Where can we buy your supplements ? I’ve check Amazon but didn’t find it

You are awesome! 💕🐾❤🐾❤🐾💕

Thank you Doctor! ❤

This is good to know! My dogs have rarely had ear infections, but I have always used a mix of equal parts of 3% peroxide, 71% isopropyl alcohol, and 5% vinegar (this has the effect of diluting all the ingredients). I pour it into their ears and then get to take a shower in it. I've seldom had to do more than I couple treatments. I've joked to friends I suggested the treatment to that I can't be sure if the treatment works or if the dogs just get smart enough not to shake their heads around me... I've used the same treatment on myself (with good success) and can understand their discomfort, so it's good to know this more gentle treatment for future use! Thanks!

Thanks, doctor! ❤😘

Thank you so much for helping us to take good care of our dogs 🙏 I really appreciate 🫶

Thank you so much!❤

Thank you sooooo much, had spent $1200. at the vets with very little relief for my poor dog. After trying your mixture she is so much better and she is only on day 3! Thank you

I love this guy!! My own vet would never tell me anything otc I could use to help my dog.

Thank you! I thought my dog had ear mites so I got ear mite drops and they've done absolutely nothing. Her ears are red like that so im going to try this. I had also ordered a natural ear wash just drops you put in. They don't seem to do much either. Hopefully this helps.

Why black tea versus green tea? Also back in the day when Monistat was a prescription drug I had to visit a doctor when I had a yeast infection. I looked for other options and discovered plain yogurt worked great. What do you think about using plain organic yogurt instead of Monistat?

Thank you!! Great step by step instructions.

How good is this!!! BTW you're still brilliant!!!!

Pls , can you do a video on cat hyperthyroid? And about that medicine that seems like rolling the dice.

Thank you so much.

Definitely going to try this !my 17 year old kitty is diabetic and suffers from chronic ear infections. Nothing the vet FHAs prescribed has helped :( it always comes back .

As always, great and informative video. I've been giving my allergy suffering dog krill oil supplements 2x a day in his food to help his skin from being dry and flaky (looks like dandruff). I've used the clotrimazole, straight out of the tube to coat the inside of my dogs ears when he's had a bad bout of itchy ears, plus a squirt of Zymox for ears (it's very pricey and I'm going to try the tea next time). My dog gets damp dark matter deep in his ears, but the skin is dry and rough. I treat for a week or a bit longer, even though the ear looks like its fine in about 4 days. Thanks for your great treatments/remedies Dr. Jones.

so good, thanks as ALWAYS

You are awesome! Thank you!

And about cats? I have one that have that brown stuff and always scratching

Would this be a treatment for my dog 🐶with a yellowish discharge which has been diagnosed "bacteria "? Thanks

Thanks going to try, will let you know how well it worked 🙂

Thank you so much, doc.

Ty as always! Shared as always on my Facebook.

Thank you for your free content about helping animals. Do you have tips for caring for cats with FIV? Or tips for treating infections in immunocomprimosed cats?

Dr I’m still waiting for the free book. Love you

45pm colloidal silver used for years. No more infections

Very helpful. I also have a recipe for a concoction with white vinegar, Boric acid, Isopropyl rubbing alcohol, and Povidone iodine (Betadine).

Thanks for the info and I really appreciate it, I am on SSD a low budget.

Hey Dr. Jones, just ordered some of your supplements for my dog Milo. He has recurring ear problems and going to try the monistat and black tea.

My friend bought a bottle of garlic and mullein oil, that worked.

What about apple vinegar? You mentioned it in another video

I don't need "it helps', I need my dog's ears completely cleared up. Her ears are swollen insite & are turning black. I'm trying everything you say and nothing's working. It'll get better short-term and then come right back twice as hard.

P. S. Thank you for everything ❤️

Thank You❤

Thank you, doctor!

Are we suppose to put the drops down in the canal?

Funny my neighbour down the road was saying his dogs ear was bothering him lol so I’m dropping off a jar of coconut oil cuz the guy seemed CLUELESS…poor dog…

My puppy has recurring brown/ yellowish ear infection. I tried the clotrimazole, Hydrocortisone cream and polysporin combination. Helps a little, but never clears it up completely. Any suggestions?

A sort of wet sound comes from my dog ear when I massage it a little, that can be ear infection right? He doesn't itch his ear at all, and no disbalance or anything like that

This is so awesome! I am wondering if this could work for yeast infections on dog paws as well? Thank you for the information, we will be ordering some supplements to help our little dude out :)

Thanks Dr.Jones! So helpful.❤

😮can I use it on bandit ( my 5 yr old cat) too

My dog will shake out anything we put inside his ear! Going to give this a try

Thanks for your videos

Im going go try this my GSD has a yeasty ear now.

🙋‍♀️💖 thank U Dr

I found this out after paying for ear drops for my dog on a consistent basis.. found out that the prescription med I was paying for add monistat in it, if not Nystatin period started making my own ear drops

Thank you very much for your video. Can I mix the tea with Clotrimazole, instead of Monistat?

Thank you so much! This is such a great help!

Can you do a vid on remedies for congenital seborrheic dermatitis. Please! She is a service animal and I have done everything that I can think of to do. Exfoliating and bathing her multiple times a month if not a couple times a week. Shell go through flare-ups where she has it non-stop for a couple months with extreme odor, oils, scales, hotspots ( including ears), and then she'll go through a couple months with nothing. It is congenital, which is common in cocker spaniels. But as I am becoming more disabled and this is my service dog I need some remedies... Hopefully cure her in those flares ups

My dog is allergic to eeeeeverything!!! So this just might help him!

Dr jones have you heard of cl02 cds mms it kills parasites etc also ive put our dog on fenben thanks to you im trying to get my gf mother on it colon polyps lg possible cancerous

My dogs have all the symptoms you describe except that they are clean...no dirt/black stuff.

Thank you Dr. Jones. I will give this a try! 👍

Dr. Jones, what do you think about the necessity of the leptospirosis vaccine? I live in an urban area -- lots of squirrels, some mice. Does my 4 month old, 5 pound puppy need it? Thanks!

I’m told my cocker spaniel has “rods”. I assume he means polyps. She went 10 + years without any ear infections. In one year she’s had ongoing infections & now she completely deaf. It is so sad. We’ve spent ridiculous money on medication which never clears up her infections for any longer than a few days. Do you believe this will help, or am I dealing with something more chronic???

Will this help cats ears as well? Tk you for all the videos..
