Question
Best way to clear it up w/o a vet visit?

Answer
Hello Brad - Some ear infections will clear up in time ( on their own), and some need the vet for antibiotics.
Depends on the health of the dog and kind of breed.

Here is a good way to clean an ear that is giving you troubles...
All natural... If this doesn't work after 4 days, please make a visit to the vet... Thanks

Here are some mixes you can make:


Smelly Skin & Ear Infections-

Colloidal Silver - natural anti- fungal, virus, bacteria antibiotic drops. Use straight as a ear drops, eye cleanse for conjunctivitis in dogs and kittens with Chlamydia.
- Dilute Colloidal Silver and use as a skin rinse to rid fungal infection on animals who have smelly itchy coats (usually brought on by using chemical antibiotics that destroy the good gut flora)


Home Made Wash :

Soothing wash for all icky skin, including ears.  

1 quart water

1 heaping teaspoon dried Sage

1 heaping teaspoon of Thyme

¼ teaspoon Epsom salts

Boil everything together for 5 minutes then let it sit overnight. Strain off the herbs and refrigerate unused portion. You can add it to shampoo and make a "medicated" shampoo .... Also works for ant bites, red bumps, hot spots, flea dermatitis, etc


There are many Holistic options in the Pet Stores that are already made for you...
Also, NuVET plus - this will build your pal's Immune System and help with ear infections... Many times NuVET will cure your pet's ear infection and prevent others!
NuVet Plus is not sold in stores:  here is the link:
