    I put toilet paper 📄 in the ear 👂 to help taking the dirt out. It smells stink.

  2. @Sarahs-1369 on May 23, 2025 at 12:00 pm

    ive got a dog with a really smelly ear, kept on cleaning it but still the same, did take her to vets and they gave me anitibiotics etc which helped but at £27 per go after 2 months it came back, will be trying your ideas out

  3. @AJCoReTV on May 23, 2025 at 12:04 pm

    For lab, what is 10 drops? A half siringe?

  4. @jacquelineremington7502 on May 23, 2025 at 12:05 pm

    Hello – I tried some of these & it didn’t fully work. We took our Airedale to the vet to have his ears cleaned & they told us he has a mass inside the ear. We are waiting to see if it’s cancerous (I don’t think it is) but how would we shrink the mass inside his ear. They want us to have surgery & it’s $4000. I don’t want it to get worse but want to try something that would reduce it. He gets raw & homemade foods, Black seed oil, Fulvic Acid, Bee propolis, colostrum, MCT oil, olive oil, & Quercetin daily with food. Any help would be appreciated ❤️

    Thank you for the clotrimazole idea!! My poor mastiff and german shepard mix Coco has been miserable sctratching crying because of pain and for the first time last night after applying he wasnt sctratching in the middle of the night! He seems so much happier thank you so much as its so expensive to go to the vet!

  6. @ChipProUtah on May 23, 2025 at 12:08 pm

    My dog was shaking his head more after the drops. Normal?

  7. @Fullheartproductions on May 23, 2025 at 12:08 pm

    Thank you so much!!! ❤❤

    Two days of trying your remedies and my poor pup’s very inflamed and sore ears are not only feeling better, but have actually never looked so clean and healthy! Aside from some isolated red spots that are still healing where it was especially tender and raw. I wish I could hug you!! I am so glad I came across your channel and I was able to relieve my pup’s pain so quickly and easily.

    When I noticed Friday just how hot and swollen his ears were I was certain we were heading to the emergency vet sometime this weekend. 😬 So grateful that’s not the case!

  8. @Ash1Hunnid on May 23, 2025 at 12:09 pm

    Will these remedies work for a Siberian husky ?

  9. @CoolBoss224 on May 23, 2025 at 12:09 pm

    I am in the UK, what are the 3 products, not brand names?

  10. @sedativeman on May 23, 2025 at 12:09 pm

    Apple Cider Vinegar on sore, inflamed, red, sensitive skin sounds like it would be painful.

  11. @LittolMore on May 23, 2025 at 12:11 pm

    Thanks for uploading!!!

  12. @effrin999 on May 23, 2025 at 12:15 pm

    Im smart enough to do one of these.

  13. @Rose-gj2ht on May 23, 2025 at 12:16 pm

    Can i do both ears at the same time

  14. @jerushalee83 on May 23, 2025 at 12:17 pm

    I tried the second one because I was afraid that which hazel would burn him because he scratches it so much. I was afraid he had to open abrasions, but the second one seemed to burn him too. I feel so bad he instantly started freaking out. What am I doing wrong or what else can I do? I’m desperate! He gets ear infections all the time and I don’t know what to do. I can’t afford to keep taking him to the vet.

  15. @mjm1535 on May 23, 2025 at 12:17 pm

    I used the 3rd method on my Pit-Lab and it seemed to work pretty good. I’m not a vet or anything but I took the liberty of adding 1 TSP of 2% Miconazole cream to add some extra potency in defeating the yeast and it seemed to do the trick. Just keep in mind that Miconazole is a bit stronger than Clotrimazole and it can have a slight "stinging" effect on sensitive areas so just make sure that your dog’s ears aren’t bleeding or anything before you apply it. Also, I think the Hydrocortisone cream was a great idea to mix in with the paste because it really seemed to help my dog be immediately relieved of any itchiness in his ears. Thanks a million Dr. Jones!

  16. @williamrickerby9149 on May 23, 2025 at 12:18 pm

    Thank you fantastic information .

  17. @cambriawalilu on May 23, 2025 at 12:19 pm

    I’m not seeing any mention of grass seeds. I’m very concerned if allergies aren’t the cause of my dogs reoccurring ear infection it could be grass seed. I’ll try the 3rd remedy here but will take him in if it doesn’t clear up. We no longer allow him in tall dry grasses bec of the dangers of the grass seeds that can lodge in dogs ears & paws ect.

  18. @godman5043 on May 23, 2025 at 12:20 pm

    Thank you. This will help dog owners not only save money, but time as well. No one wants to see their fur babies suffer needlessly.

  20. @sassymama-wackedcanadians8265 on May 23, 2025 at 12:20 pm

  21. @Stephen_Strange on May 23, 2025 at 12:21 pm

    Hi Dr Jones, can these be used if our dog has ear cancer?

  22. @greysonrayne23 on May 23, 2025 at 12:22 pm

    I tried the apple cider vinegar and green tea and it does not work do not try it

  27. @tjohnson4058 on May 23, 2025 at 12:34 pm

    I want to say thany you sooooo very much.

    I started down the holistic path with my mastiff who had bone cancer … Holistically we fought it for 2 years … I found you on that journey and I am more thankful than I could ever express.

    It’s not only allowed me to help me with my pets, but I work in the animal industry and run a pet pantry ffor animals in need in the community. I share these videos to help them help themselves as well

    It takes community to survive, and I want to thank you … Once again, lol … For sharing your information so we can share and help others in need too

  28. @Marmaze on May 23, 2025 at 12:35 pm

    My cockapoo gets a reoccurring ear infection. I made up the ACV and green tea mixture. This is the first day of doing it. I only put in five drops. I didn’t wanna put in too much liquid, but I did hear some sloshing sound. Comment for updates.

  29. @user-ip4td2ok4l on May 23, 2025 at 12:35 pm

    Love your work!

  30. @skeeter7932 on May 23, 2025 at 12:37 pm

  31. @Zues4928 on May 23, 2025 at 12:38 pm

    Absolutely great product I decided to use the cortisol antifungal combo works amazing kills the infection everytime,my rotwillier never had an ear infection,but the pit bull I adopted does all the time a true life saver! I mixed a big batch I did a whole tube’s worth following the exact ratio measurement put in a sealed container, lasted a year! Had to look for this video to make more highly recommend trying it!Thanks doc you truly are a godsend to broke people like me who cannot afford vet bills.

  32. @oliviag9271 on May 23, 2025 at 12:39 pm

    Can you add aloe vera gel to the witch hazel??

  33. @anonymousaccount1150 on May 23, 2025 at 12:40 pm

    My dog has browny black thick muck looking stuff in her ears. Tried local vet stuff costing £60 & it didnt work it only spread to the other ear too! Tried canisten alone but it didnt work for very long. I heard it was helpful so tried it but didnt combine with whats mentioned in this video. I think its a bacterial inection. Thats what the vet said anyway. Im unsure how to tell. She scratches and makes them bleed, shakes her head, cries and i believe theyre very sore & inflamed. Which one do indo please? Is it the apple cidar vingar? Thank you

  34. @thetoledos8335 on May 23, 2025 at 12:40 pm

    Thank you so much, doc. You are the best🎉

  35. @alberteendean4077 on May 23, 2025 at 12:40 pm

    omg… thank you!

  36. @GKovacs-pp7xt on May 23, 2025 at 12:41 pm

    Small pieces of paper towel soaked in Hydrogen peroxide did the trick for me. Didn’t bother the dog and cleared up that stink. I wiped his ears clean and then used a dry paper towel to dry it all out. Any liquid that I don’t dry out of his ears makes it worse for my dog.

    I tried Apple cigar vinegar and it really bothered my poodle so I would not recommend.

  37. @cindytruelove-xc6bl on May 23, 2025 at 12:44 pm

    I tried the green tea and acv with not much improvement I felt like I was add more fluid to a fluid filled ear . So I’ve switched to the triple antibiotic ointment cortisone and yeast medicine (i dont know how to spell it right now) Seeing improvement after 4 days. Both ears are now being held at the same level on each side . No longer one ear down and one ear up compensating for the loss of hearing in affected ear. I think I’m on the right track.

  38. @karens1194 on May 23, 2025 at 12:45 pm

    I just found this website. I had to have my sweet black dachshund mix put down yesterday evening.. She had a huge mammary tumor. Since she was elderly and blind, I treated the tumor homeopathically with great success. It went down to about the size of 2 kernels of corn. Then it came back huge after a night of fireworks on the 4th of July, which terrified my dog, is when it became large and kept getting bigger and yesterday, all her glands were swelling. When I rescued her over 4 years ago she had a small tumor on one of her teats, which I had removed. She ended up going completely blind within 2 yrs. She was rescued from a farm, one of many an elderly couple had. She had never had shots before and I’m wondering if the shots caused her cancer.

  39. @LauraMaybe7 on May 23, 2025 at 12:47 pm

    What about my cats shaking their heads? I took one of my cats to the vet and she said no mites. She said infection, but then said no infection…soon as we arrived home, she was shaking her head again.

  40. @geminithugbaby473 on May 23, 2025 at 12:47 pm

    Can the polysporin be substituted with neosporin?

  41. @serenity2219 on May 23, 2025 at 12:48 pm

  45. @brandoncrossley4164 on May 23, 2025 at 12:53 pm

  49. @n545ca1 on May 23, 2025 at 12:56 pm

    I can’t thank you enough for the guidance. My wife and I just tried the witch hazel on our dog’s ear and we’ve noticed less head shaking and ear scratching.
