Veteran Posts: 182	Our Labradors get yeast infections in their ears often. How much vinegar and how do you administer it? Thanks

Dumb question maybe----how do I know the difference between yeast and ear mites? (Obviously I mean w/o going the vet route!) One of my outside dogs has started shaking her head a lot in the last two or three days, and I immediately started the ear mite meds. . .

Horsey Gene Carrier Posts: 1888 Location: LaBelle, Florida	If a dog has a yeast infection in the ears, take a sniff...you will know it. Ear mites usually cause the itching and just yuck in the ears. Yeasty tends to smell really bad/strong.

Expert Posts: 2604 Location: Texas	My house cat got this. I thought it was ear mites and was trying to treat with OTC stuff but it wasn't getting better. Took her to vet and found out... yeast infection. Got some meds to put in her ears 2 x day for 7 days. But I'm not convinced it is gone. She is still touch/itchy about her ears. Can I use this on a cat?

Toastest with the Mostest Posts: 5712 Location: That part of Texas	Another med you can use (and can use on cats believe it or not) is called EMT and it works for all kinds of stuff -- infections, scratches and what not. I had an older cat with a yeast infection in her ear and it cleared it up overnight almost. It also has something in the medicine that deadens the nerve endings so they quit scratching instantly and don't bother the wound. I bought this for a horse that wouldn't end up letting me doctor her and I'm so glad I did. I will always keep a tube of this stuff for all the animals at the house, especially the cats because there's so much you can't use on them. Here's the link to it: http://lambertkay.com/health/emt-wound-care/emt-gel You can find it at Tractor Supply and other places like that for about $15 per tube but it's well worth it. You won't use much at a time because it's really thick and kind of sticky.

Texas Tenderheart Posts: 6715 Location: Red Raiderland	In my experience, feeding a raw diet(meats only, no veggies or fruits) eliminated all the yeast infections/dirty ears in all my dogs' ears. Just a thought.
