THREE BEST REMEDIES TO TREAT DOGS EAR INFECTION
3 best remedies to treat ear infections
Apart from taking your Labrador Retriever to the vet, there are some very effective ways to treat the ear infection yourself at home. What first should be understood, though, is that when treating at home, never poke anything down into the ear canal as this will push the wax and any other foreign matter deeper inside the ear which can make the condition worse, or prevent your dog’s ears from naturally cleaning themselves. The first remedy would be to purchase an antimicrobial cream or powder from your Vet, which will help to fight the bacterial infection.
Most ear infections will respond quite well to this kind of treatment provided that the treatment is started as early as possible. Another remedy would be to purchase a gentle cleanser to clean the ear (such as Vetericyn Ear Rinse). This product is completely natural and does not contain any steroids, toxic materials, alcohol or antibiotics of any kind, which makes it perfectly safe for your Lab Dog. A third remedy which works quite well is to give your dog a course of anti-fungal oral medication (purchased from your Vet) for a few weeks.
Hopefully, you are able to treat your dog as early as possible in order to avoid surgery in more serious cases. You can use this information to help treat an ear infection in your Labrador Retriever, but sometimes the simplest methods work best. All of these remedies are good, but you should always consult with your own Vet to make the best determination as to which one is the best for your dog.
