I put canesten cream in my dogs ears, while we were away for 10 days and she swam in some tidal-mud skankiness. I took her to our vet when we got home and did the medicated eat-washes and whatnot…but my dog has been hard of he’s since the incident…and her recall isn’t what it used to be. I’m afraid the canesten has clogged her ears, but the vet has said she can’t see anything, so a surgical washout under anaesthetic is the next level of treatment.
I’m a bit nervous of surgery (my dog has had a few for cut paws, and a root canal…and anal gland removal …plus sedation for follow up chemo. My dog is 12, but still swims and hikes, and is fit and healthy, having had human home cooked non inflammatory foods since puppyhood (plus nightly toothbrushing) I don’t want to put her through surgery, if it’s not necessary. I tried warm olive oil in her ears (but it may not have been warm enough) and I tried having à wrapped hot water bottle under her ear…to soften/‘melt’ the possible canesten/wax blockage. She doesn’t like heat, so she wouldn’t keep it there for very long. Any suggestions? How do I heat the oil to a suitable temperature for her ears? She a 27 kg dog Wheaten Terrier X Golden Retriever mix.
I used this tip on my GSD after I had used vagisil in his ear for a yeast infection in his ear. It worked great to flush the ear and helps keep his ears free if yeast ear infections.
I always worry about using green tea. Green tea has caffeine, which can be fatal to dogs. So if you use any green tea remedy topical or even in the ear, and your dog licking it or pawing at his ears then licking their paw, isn't there a risk of heart palpation or even death? Or is the amount of caffeine so low that it isn't a concern?
God bless you!

I’ve used hydrogen peroxide in my human kid’s ears. I wonder if you can use that in dogs and VS your remedy on humans
I have a small dog an he been coughing a sound dry what is good for that?
Where is the bio ??
I don't see it.
Thanks Doc, you have saved me thousands over the years! 💕
ThankYou DrJones❤️🐶🤗
Or treat the allergy that cause the otitis…
What is the best way to keep your beloved dog comfortable in Stage 4 congenital heart failure? Help them breath, reduce coughing and nasal congestion?
Dr is it the same if my cat has black debris in ears? I need help for my kitty. Thank you ❤
can we do that for cats too?
Can use hair clips on some dogs ( long hair) to air out ears a couple/few hours a day.
This is what my vet said to do and it did work well on our dog thank you.
Does vagisil work my vet frowned on that idea. She always has yeast in her ears always. At wit's end poor baby is always suffering.
Can I put this on skin rash that seems to be from yeast as well? Or what can I substitute the ACV for? Thanks ☺️
Thank you for this!
MAKE SURE THE TEA is NOT HOT!
You forgot to mention cleaning the yeast out with cotton and cleaner. None of these remedies are going to work if you're not cleaning out the yeast
Is green tea safe?

This really works, but you need to persevere. BTW YOU'RE STILL BRILLIANT!!!
