My dog has chronic ear infections and I'd like to not continue using antibiotics. Do you know of good holistic remedies?

She is a lab mix. She has been on so many antibiotics (oral and ear drops, plus steriods when she had an allergic reaction to meds). She's been to the vet 5-6x in the last year for these and I'd like to find a homeopathic remedy. I'm working with a holistic doctor but nothing seems to work. Have you tried anything?

If you want to, feel free to paw-mail/message me and I'll give you more information if you want. I'm always happy to help.

There's a lot of different things you can do and give for ear infections. Please stop the steroids, they have no benefits and are definitely not healthy whatsoever. I would stop the medications too and move to something that will actually benefit and cure her ear infections because obliviously, the medications and steroids are not helping at all. What brand of food is she eating? Foods with grains, chicken/beef (chicken and beef are the most common meat allergies in dogs), fillers, by-products, propylene glycol, preservatives, colors/flavors, etc., can cause a lot of health problems in dogs, especially ear infections. The first thing I'd do is change food to a high quality brand of food. Dog foods I recommend are Orijen, Acana, Solid Gold, Timberwolf Organics, Primal Pet Foods, Holistic Selects, SoJo's and Honest Kitchen.

What's REALLY in pet food? I recommend checking out these sites -

Dogs who switch from a low quality to a high quality brand of food who have infections/allergies/etc, they'll start to clear up within a few days to about a week or so. Feed her high quality dog treats as well! A raw diet and a home cooked diet would be great too. Dogs who are fed a raw diet, especially, the allergies/infections will disappear.

Supplements that would clear up her ear infection within a couple of days at least would be colloidal silver. Colloidal silver kills infections, bacteria, viruses, fungus, molds, parasites, etc. I take colloidal silver myself and have been for years and I have been giving it to my dogs for years too. I take it everyday and so do my dogs. Be sure that the colloidal silver you buy comes in a glass bottle and if you put the colloidal silver in your dogs bowl, be sure it's anything BUT plastic.

"Dr. Frank reported on his experiences in increasing the life expectancy of two dogs treated with RNA. One dog was a mongrel aged 14 years, the other was a 16 year old Chihuahua. Both dogs were nearly blind, with hair that was dry, brittle and scanty, and suffered from arthritis and "myocardial weakness." From their appearance their future life expectancy was estimated by a veterinarian to be months, at the most. Dr. Frank treated both dogs with RNA (8 gm daily for the younger dog, and 4 gm daily for the older dog), along with B complex and cod liver oil daily. The health in both dogs improved dramatically after one month, activity increased, and their coats became much softer and fuller. The younger dog died in an automobile accident at age 20, and the older dog succumbed at age 23 from an infestation of intestinal worms. Dr. Frank reported that both dogs were in excellent health immediately prior to these final episodes, and believed that their lives were definitely extended by the RNA therapy."

The highest source of RNA you will get is from sardines. I have been giving my dogs one can of sardines each day for about 8 months or so and the changes have been amazing from soft hair, no more dandruff, cleaner teeth, no more arthritis, activity increased, always up and going, haven't had any more trouble getting up/in/out, etc. I highly recommend you start giving your dog a can of sardines once a day, you'll definitely see a huge difference in your dog within a few days. Sardines will definitely help with the ear infections.

Apple cider vinegar, flax seed oil, raw eggs, coconut oil, vitamin C and cinnamon are all great for ear infections too.
