Yeast problems can be caused by different yeast organisms. One is Malassezia pachydermatitis, which is a common yeast organism found on normal and abnormal canine skin and ears. Other yeast problems involve Candida albicans, which can be systemic and the root cause of the problem. Yeast found in the body changes to its fungal form and starts to overgrow in the gut, causing toxins to leak into the body and causing a breakdown in the body’s defenses (immune system).

Yeast Infections Home Remedy for Dog Ears

Yeast infections (malassezia) are common in dogs who have allergies and is the most common ear problem seen by veterinarians. Dog ears contain mast cells, just like the mast cells contained in the respiratory systems of humans. These mast cells produce histamines, prostaglandins, and other inflammatory chemicals in response to allergens. These chemicals stimulate the ears to over-produce wax and other secretions. Skin bacteria thrive in the warm, gooey environment of these ears. Yeast spores are also attracted to the ears and begin to germinate.

Don’t use vinegar if there are any open sores in the ear. A garlic pod soaked overnight in olive oil works well in such cases. Remove the garlic and put five to six drops in the ear, twice daily for 7 to 10 days. This will also help in refurbishing the animal’s immune system.

Veterinarians suggest the use of white vinegar or acetic acid to lean the era. In case of an infection, pour a small amount into the era, massage a bit and then clean with a cotton ball. Once a day would suffice for as long as the infection persists.

You could also try this one; mix equal parts pau d’arco tincture (obtained from a tree bark) and mineral oil and put several drops in your pet’s ears, two or three times a day for several days.
