Cure Your Pet’s Ear Infections
By Deena Caruso
Is your dog or cat tormented by ear infections? Do you spend time and money at the veterinarian's office trying to bring relief to your beloved pet, only to find that another infection appears over time? If so, you may want to try some more natural approaches to preventing and treating your pet's ear infections.
What causes ear infections?
Dogs and cats have an incredible sense of hearing. To protect their hearing and prevent damage to the ear drum, their ear canals are L-shaped. The problem with this design is that it allows the ears to trap parasites, moisture, debris and ear wax. Any of these can lead to ear infections. Up to 80 percent of ear problems in dogs are linked to allergies, and ear mites are often the cause of infection in cats.
The traditional treatment for ear infections is to give antibiotics, antifungal medications or other drugs. The problem with this approach is that drugs upset the normal chemistry inside the ear and can possibly turn a simple infection into a long-term problem.
It makes more sense to deal with underlying allergies and strengthen the immune system so that it is able to fight bacteria and other germs before they cause infection. Also, there are many natural treatments for cleaning the ears and stopping infections without using drugs.

I'm always exhausted by Friday and just feel like relaxing all night, but I kind of feel like going to a movie or getting some shopping done.
