Doggie Ear Infections
For years I
fought ear infections with my Lhasas and if you have a dog with long floppy
ears, you probably have too! I would have to say in most cases, the ear
infection won. Then I met Dr. Jacqueline Obando who is trained in both the traditional
and naturopathic veterinary sciences. In one quick visit she gave me this simple
secret to fighting ear infections. Here it is…
#1. Make a
cup of green tea and let it cool to room temperature.
#2. With a
cotton pad dipped in the green tea gently clean the inside your dog’s ear out
to the best of your ability.
#3. Pat it
dry with a clean washcloth.
#4. Using a
tiny spoon and holding the ear open as much as you can, pour a half a teaspoon
of boric acid into the ear canal (this is a slightly granular powder – you can find it any drug
store); work it in by massaging the ear for a minute.
#5. Repeat
twice a day for a week. It works like a charm!
Since I’m not a veterinarian and I don’t play one on TV, ask your own vet about this first! If they haven’t heard about it, contact a homeopathic vet like Dr. Obando. http://www.mercyvet.com
