imported_Cassie Posted May 9, 2004 Posted May 9, 2004 I was talking with a lady the other day regarding her standard poodle. This poodle has suffered from ear infections for a big chunk of its life. The owner had spent ALOT of money in treatments, ear flushes, etc. the ear infection remained and the poor poodle was really suffering. Any way, one day her vet said that she had "heard" about a home remedy, and although she could not recommend it as she didn't know if it really worked or not she told the owner what it was. She said you take sugar and pack the ear...leave in for about 5 minutes and then rinse out with diluted iodine....the sugar supposedly soaks up the bacteria. The owner tried it and it worked. :o I just thought I would share this with every one...perhaps if some one is experiencing a dog with horrible ear infections and have tried every thing else without success...this might be a good last resort.

courtnek Posted May 9, 2004 Posted May 9, 2004 y'know...that makes perfect sense. I'm surprised the doctors never thought of that. sugar is very absorbant, and iodine cleans quite well..... huh! maybe I'll try it on Laurel. Quote
