Ear Infections-Chronic in a puppy - Page 3

Hodie

You mouth and ego are getting way oversized just like your big fat ass!

And your for info ole wise one Hodie I have done several cultures and the vet does give me medication to clear up. You are not the only person in the world who knows anything, I am sure that is a shock to you!

NOT A SHOCK DR and no, there are many things I don't know. But you are the one who can't keep your dogs or relationships by your own account, has consistent ear problems with your dogs etc.....I don't. People know I will help, if they have an open mind. You don't. So let your dogs suffer.  If you know so much, why ask those of us here for solutions?

Hodie

You must be the smartest person in the world and much smarter than hundreds of vets!  wow i am so impressed with you!

On the other side you are such caught up with yourself you seem to forget you attacked me and and now you seem to want to take the high road with your snotty hoiler than thou attitude.

Also ole wise one Hodie who said anything about my dog suffering? You think you are so smart you did not even understand nor did you ask !  Any normal intelligent person would have read and understood that I always have to be treating her off/on to keep the yeast infection from coming back! Go back and re-read you dummy!  The MAIN ideal of my post is to find a treatment that keeps if from coming back. The longest she has ever went is about 3 months and then it comes back.

Geez  Hodie, you are so full of yourself!

Like I said DR, you are the one who has a dog with a recurrent ear infection and cannot seem to clear it up. I have had many, many more GSDs in my life than you will ever have and NEVER EVER had such a problem. Coming here for simple advice is one thing. When a problem is recurrent, without identifying the problem, one cannot solve it. Surely even you can understand that,,,,When I have a dog with an ear infection, I get it cleared up because I do know how to treat them. But I won't waste one second more of my time with you. Without an open mind, you cannot learn. And clearly, your mind, if you have one, is closed.

Birdy, 

The question is what was the organism that was cultured and what was the medication used and for how long? Bottom line is that organisms like those that cause ear infections cannot live in a non-hospitable environment. So once one knows what the organism is, one can modify the environment perhaps. Secondly, when one uses the wrong medications, or medications for long periods of time, or when one has the wrong organisms present, they can and will kill off the normal organisms that cause infections. Sometimes, it is just these normally present organisms that must be present as well to keep the pathogens in check. So, that is what someone needs to know to resolve the issue.

I am sorry to tell all of you that there often is no single, simple, internet cure.....Knowledge is the path to the right cure.

Hodie

Kindly remove your head out of your asshole orfice as we all know this. Many of us have worked with vets for years without success. You are not enlightning anyone here.

Like I said I have went to three different vets and worked with them over the last 7-8 years without success. I have researched on the interent and many many people have the same issue.

True some ear infections clear up easier than others but many people here have this same problem and my vet whom  I consider excellent confirms what I am saying as did the previous two.

You are trying to save face but throwing out more BS that is not helping anybody as we all know its hard to get rid of forever.

Hodie finally says something intelligent!

This is what I think has happened with my girl. I took her to the vet and on / off medications so long I think she lost the ability to fight off the bacterial yeast infections. That is why I am trying to find a more natural way to help her in the hopes eventually her own body will get rid of the yeast infection. That is why I am always looking for new ideals and suggestions. Like I said the bio-groom w/ boric acid has worked well and causes her no pain.

What is also interesting in all other ways this is an extremely healthy girl, at nine she is still like a pup and has not slowed down. Has nothing else wrong with her at all, had ofa good hips at 2.5 yrs of age and still high drive and runs all the time.
