imported_Cassie Posted November 10, 2004 Posted November 10, 2004 OK, I think it was Courtnek asking about the sugar treatment for badly infected ears. I asked my vet what the sugar treatment consisted of, she told me fill the ears with sugar and then rinse with iodine. She has used this treatment on dogs with chronic ear problems that no diet change or antibiotics, flushes etc could seem to fix. The sugar treatment has worked wonders on many dog with chronic ear problems. I used it many many years ago on my Standard Poodle with horrible ear infections and ear problems. I spent a fortune on that poor dog between flushing the ears, to diet changes to antibiotics special ear creams etc. The sugar treatment worked the first time and I never had another problem with that dogs ears again. :wink: Quote
courtnek Posted November 11, 2004 Posted November 11, 2004 thank you Cassie! how do you flush it? Pour iodine in and what? Rinse it out with something? I've never flushed her ears. the vet did, but I didnt see it...how many treatments does she need? Quote
courtnek Posted November 11, 2004 Posted November 11, 2004 tons of questions, I'm sorry. Do I put the sugar in dry> or wet? do I leave it in there for ahwile and then rinse it out with Iodine? The Blue Power Treatment is helping. but its not going away.... Please ask the vet. I dont want to hurt her in any way...I just want her to be healthy.... thank you SO much. I feel so stupid... :o :o Quote
imported_Cassie Posted November 11, 2004 Author Posted November 11, 2004 Sorry Courtnek, How stupid of me not to include instructions :D My Vet also advised me (strongly I may add) that you should run this by your Vet before attempting. My Poodle had a serious bacterial infection in her ears that no antibiotic or conventional ear treatment would cure. This was my very last option on the road to recovery. To use, pack the ear with sugar, just enough to fill the inside of the ear canal, pack with a cotton ball covering each packed ear canal. Leave for about 5 minutes and then rinse with diluted iodine. Dilute the iodine and use a syringe to flush out. I seem to recall just filling the syringe up with the diluted iodine and rinsing the ear canal. I really hope this works. Did you ever try that other ear treatment using the Pellitol ointment? I can give you the instructions for that remedy again if you like Quote
courtnek Posted November 12, 2004 Posted November 12, 2004 thank you! I havent tried the pellitol yet. but I'll ask the vet about this as well. thanks again. Quote
ObedienceGrrl Posted November 12, 2004 Posted November 12, 2004 Would this work for chronic yeast infections in the ear as well?? Quote
