Help Needed! Bongos ears still a issue

[Fbjdd]

Hi All,

Bongo is 7 now and still dealing with chronic ear infections. He’s had all allergy tests and is on a strict raw duck diet limited ingredients as per his allergy test yet he still gets the infections?? Any thoughts on what to do?

If ears are especially inflamed or infected, dilute 2 drops of lavender in 4 drops of fractionated coconut oil on a cotton ball and apply lightly to soothe the inflamed ear area. This works as some of us members done it. I recently did it with my newcomer Jake. Got rid of his bacteria within a week.

I would recommend EcoEars https://www.amazon.ca/Infection-Bacteria-Pharmaceutical-Medication-Guaranteed/dp/B008QYVL1Yflushed in his ears daily for 2 weeks, then ears flushed weekly forever. When I say flush, I mean dribble some into the ear, rub the ear drum from the outside with your fingers, and then move aside as he flings his head around. And in between weekly flushes, clean daily with witch hazel on a wipe if it gets dirty.

I would also recommend probiotics such as milk kefir, live sauerkraut from refrigerator section of health food store, or commercial probiotic such as Probiotic Miracle or Proviable DC.

Also daily cetirizine antihistamine ( from Costco ).

And if still having ear infections try having Cytopoint injection from a vet to see if that helps, or Bongo can even have an operation to remove ear canal ( total ear canal ablation ) as a last resort.

My boy has ear issues too... all environmental as we eliminated his food allergies. the only thing that has helped is a Cytopoint shot every 6-8 weeks.

BTW -- I love your hat.... LOL!!

Also, you can try sublingual immunotherapy, eg. Respit, which takes a few months to work. Someone mentioned on the french bulldog group how much immunotherapy helped their dog.

A note on EcoEars. I bought some for Monty as his ear was a bit inflamed and itchy. His ear got worse, it was really bothering him plus he lost a layer of skin! It wasn't dried liquid, it was skin so no more for him. As we all know though, each dog reacts differently so just need to bear that in mind. Back to Zymox!

He lost a layer of skin cause of the Ecoears?

Yes. It was flaking and I thought it was dried liquid but it wasn't. It peeled off and was red raw underneath. He is much happier today! Poor dog!

Zymox is great but very expensive in Canada, my dog Honey does well on the EcoEars. I even clean her ears daily between weekly EcoEars with a solution of 5 drops oil of cloves, 5 drops tea tree oil in 2 oz witch hazel , placed on a round cosmetic pad to wipe her ears out, and she's good with that too. The only time she seemed to get her ears irritated with cleaning was when I used a solution of 50% vinegar /50% witch hazel.

Every dog is different- my dog gets almost daily water kefir whereas HelsonWheels dog Duke was quite allergic to milk kefir.

Interesting, with them ingredients it’s like almost rare that would happen. But heh, like you said, I’m sure it can happen. Now you’re going to make me investigate more lol...

BTW, I went back and read some of the bad reviews and Monty is not alone by any stretch! I feel so mean, poor boy! Could be the alcohol, Tea Tree Oil or Boric Acid or all. I should have read those reviews first!

I am doing that tomorrow, thank you. I was going to give it to a dog rescue but decided against it.

When I buy anything, the first thing I do is read all the negative reviews then I decide. Don’t ask I’m odd lolll.

I guess it simply didn’t work for your baby.

I do same- but there's always a lot of negative reviews on Amazon,so I look at the overall score, hopefully more than 4.5 overall.

On Aliexpress I look at number of sales for that vendor, reviews, and prefer if they ship by e-packet. I check if a smart phone will work with my mobile provider on kimovil.com https://www.kimovil.com/en/compare-smartphones
