Ear Infection Dog

Dog Infection - Emergency
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Richard_Van_Stratum]Richard Van Stratum

One of the first things that hit me about owning dogs was the expense and the sheer terror when something goes wrong. Though you hope your dog understands your every word there is little we can do, that we understand, that can help the dog.

Both my dogs, and I think this is the same for most, suffered from terrible dog infections of the ear. It cost the dogs a lot of pain and discomfort and it cost me a lot of time and money. Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy to spend whatever is necessary for my dogs but when you see the terror in their faces when they go to the vets, it’s real easy to question it!

I decided to look for natural and holistic cures after one of my dogs got quite ill through the antibiotics prescribed to him. To cut a long story short I befriended a vet and asked him what he thought. Well to say my eyes were opened was an understatement. The very ear drops I was sold by my vet could be made in my kitchen and there were a whole bunch of home remedies he recommended that are natural and far more effective than antibiotics-not to mention far less damaging to our pets.

To this day both my dogs have gone from 4-5 yeast infections a year to 0 in the last two years. My methods also show you what to do when they DON’T have a yeast infection to prevent it coming on in the first place.

It’s not just yeast infections either. I have found these similar cures for a whole load of different ailments and the results are still the same.

Sadly last year my friends dog was hit by a car and was knocked unconscious. When my friend got to him he had no idea how to resuscitate a dog or massage his heart and as a result (and I never told him this) his dog died. Think about it. There was no ambulance or ambulance driver, he was that person and he panicked and worried over how to revive the poor dog. By the time the shock of not knowing what to do had passed and he jumped in the car with the dog, it was too late. I’m so sorry for bringing the harsh realty of this home but it’s deadly important. If your dog is hurt often time YOU are the vet, the ambulance driver and everyone else until you get the dog to the vet. Dogs hurt in accidents survive far less than humans for this reason only.

I therefore decided to find the information I needed to be “qualified” in this sort of situation. This is vitally important information for ALL dog owners.

Many pet owners have wondered about the constant itching on their dogs and they wish they can do something about it. You do not have to wonder anymore because your dog might be suffering from yeast infection. Yeast is very much present in dogs and the kind that causes dog yeast infection is called malasezzia pachydermatis. The most common areas that you are likely to find an infection is in the ears and skin. The organism that causes the infection was discovered not less than 10 years ago and people are more aware when their dogs start to experience symptoms.

Some of the most common dog yeast infection symptoms that you need to look out for are constant itching of the ears, lesions on the skin, hair loss on the affected area, soreness and a certain odor from the affected areas. There are several things that can cause the development if malasezzia and the most common are allergies to food, pollen, fleas and others. This is because they disrupt the normal formation and function of sebum. Also, if your dog has an under active thyroid gland they are likely to suffer from the infection. If your dog has had treatment using antibiotics, there is a big likelihood that they might suffer from it.

When your dog has the infection, the veterinarian will have to treat the underlying problems if there are any like thyroid problems and allergies. There is anti fungal treatment for the problem in dogs and some of the cures include ketaconazole, fluconazole and others. The oral treatment will ensure that your dog recovers quick and all you have to do is to follow every instruction that will be recommended by the pet doctor. There are very many things you can do to make sure that you keep your dog free from the infection. The first thing will be to keep in mind that the fungus thrives and multiplies in warm and moist areas.

Also make sure you feed your dog with the right nutrients because pet infection can also be caused by a weakened immune system. You need to identify key areas and pay specific attention to them. This includes the ears and the rare end area.

You are required to rub the remedy on the affected area so that future infections can be prevented.
