Ear Infection/Skin Allergy? Try this NEW Topical Remedy
If your dog or cat is shaking their head, if their ears smell, or they are scratching at their ears, then likely you are dealing with an ear infection.
In most cases you 1st need to start with a ear cleaner, removing all the debris, BEFORE you start treating the underlying infection.
Unfortunately many of the ear cleaners are alcohol based, which can be extremely painful and irritating to inflamed ears.
There is a better option…
We have a new Natural ALCOHOL FREE Ear Cleaner:
Dr Jones’ NATURAL Ear Relief Wash
New DIY Ear Infection and Skin Allergy Remedy
When dogs and cats have allergies, they have inflammation as the underlying cause. The ears are an extension of the skin, hence they are very much just an allergy extension.
One of the MOST common secondary problems in allergies is to have yeast overgrowing in the ears/on the skin.
And in fact most dog ear infections have yeast as the primary organism causing the itching.
But in some case there can also be bacteria, so I have added in a topical anti-bacterial cream.
DIY Ear Infection Remedy includes 3 OTC medications
1. Canesten (the drug name Clotrimazole). This is the most common antifungal used in veterinary medicine
2. 1% Hydrocortisone (Corticosteroids). These are in virtually EVERY Dog and Cat topical skin medications to decrease inflammation in the ear/on the skin
3. Polysporin, which includes the antibacterials polymyxin and gramicidin.
Directions:
- 1 teaspoon of Canesten
- 1 teaspoon of 1% Cortisone
- 1 teaspoon of the Polysporin
Mix evenly in a bowl and you are left with a white cream that looks like cake icing
For skin allergies: Apply topically to the affected skin twice daily for 7-14 days.
For ear infections: apply 1/4 inch to the end of your finger. Seat it into the base of your pet’s ear. Massage ear base to work it down the ear canal. Do this twice daily for 5 days for Yeast or Bacterial ear infections.
P.S. I have used this cream combination on my own animals, and found that it works great!!

Hello Dr. Jones!
Thank you for sharing your wonderful information. My 28 pound, 11 year old rescue Whoodle has continuous ear infections and flaky skin. She had ear problems when I adopted her 8 years ago. She has had multiple ear infections and many vet visits this past year. I must figure out a solution that’s better than constant medications and vet visits. I’ve been searching for all kinds of remedies. What do you recommend please? Do the chews you offer provide a possible solution?
Thank you very much for your kindness and knowledge. I wish you the best New Year ever!
Hello!
I have a 4 year old shipoo,He is a crewm color all over well he was for the first 2 years of his life. He always struggled with ear infections, many ear infection, many vet visits and antibiotics, I have switched kibble brands. Last year I started feeding raw and some home cooked food for him. He still struggles with ear infections but also redish brown fur color. His paws and his belly are redish brown and smelly. His neck hair is looking pinkish. Could he have a Gut problem? Yeast infection all over? Im tired of Vetenarians prescribing Antibiotics every single time. Poor dog 🙁
Any suggestions are welcome please!
Take care
Nadia
