In the humid weather during the return of the south, dogs with yeast problems are particularly prone to flare-ups!
You can tell just by the smell that it's a yeast infection. Experienced dog owners can recognize the smell and know their dog has a yeast infection again.
Besides the odor, the dog might also have:
- Brownish-yellow or bloody discharge
- Redness or swelling
- Scales in the ears
- Hair loss around the ears
- Ear flap or side leaning
- Yeast infection in the ears
Dogs with yeast problems are more prone to ear infections because their ear canals are directed downward and then turn like an "L," providing a favorable environment for yeast growth.
If your dog frequently swims or bathes, trapped water in the ear canals can accelerate yeast infections.
If your dog frequently swims or takes baths, the water trapped in the ear canal can accelerate yeast infections.
The veterinarian teaches you how to prevent yeast infections from recurring.
American veterinarian Dr. Mark: "Unless there is a very deep wound, you should see a veterinarian. You can easily handle it at home!"
Yeast can spread throughout the body, so you can't just treat it locally:
1. Use a shower gel containing Benzoyl Peroxide (antifungal) to massage your entire body, then wait 10 minutes before rinsing off.
2. Spray diluted apple cider vinegar all over your skin and let it dry naturally.Apply coconut oil to the infected area.
3. Don't eat foods that promote yeast proliferation:
Dog food containing grains, carbohydrates, or corn will make yeast problems worse‼
Dr. Mark:
"Dogs should eat raw meat bones, which include organs, vegetables, coconut oil, and oils containing fatty acids.""Most veterinarians say that yeast infections are a lifelong problem and require medication for the dog's remaining life.
"But actually, it only becomes a lifelong problem if the infected area is not properly cared for and the dog continues to eat foods that promote yeast growth.
"Only by changing the dog's diet and occasionally using coconut oil to control the yeast can yeast infections be avoided."
