Article From SubmitYOURArticle.com: Home Remedies for Dog And Cat Ear Infections

Allergies are the reason for many dog ear
infections and cat ear infections. How do you
know if your pet has an ear infection? Typical
symptoms are head shaking, scratching or rubbing
ears, discharge from ears, bad smelling or
tender, red ears. If you want to take a more
natural approach to your pet's health care here
are some natural cures you can try recommended by
holistic or natural care veterinarians.

Use vinegar to clean the ears - If your pet's
ears are filled with brownish-pink wax, there is
a reason to believe that allergies have caused a
yeast infection. You can cure yeast infections by
cleaning the ears with white vinegar. Vets often
say to use white vinegar because it quickly gets
rid of dirt and debris and helps restore a
healthful chemical balance in the ears. Pour a
small amount of white vinegar into the ear canal.
If this is difficult use an eye dropper to put
the vinegar in. Massage the area and gently wipe
the inside of the ear with a cotton ball. Perform
this routine daily until the ear is clear.

Decrease inflammations by using vitamin C - Your
pet's adrenal glands produces a natural steroid
which can help decrease inflammation in their
ears. Giving pet's vitamin C can make the adrenal
glands work better. If you cat or dog weighs
under 15 pounds give them between 100 and 250
milligrams a day. Larger pets can take 250 to 500
milligrams two or three times a day. A
precautionary warning is given by holistic vets.
Some pets get diarrhea if given too much Vitamin
C so you may need to adjust their Vitamin C
dosage.

Healthy diet helps get rid of toxins - Many of
the commercial pet foods contain additives or
preservatives that can cause your pet's ears to
produce excessive wax. A good quality pet food or
homemade diet can vastly reduce the amount of wax
that the ears produce, while also making the
immune system stronger.

Get more air to the ears - Better air circulation
inside the ears can decrease the growth of
bacteria, yeast, and fungi. Check your pet's ears
regularly. Trim or pluck the hair inside the ears
so that more air will get inside.

Ear infections can be prevented by using natural
products developed for this purpose. Pet
owners interest in natural cures for pets have
been growing and companies are now beginning to
develop products. Products are available that
soothe and condition ear passages to prevent
common itching and scratching. They also help
maintain a normal balance of flora in the ear
canal thus preventing infection.
