My dog is prone to ear infections. Most of them go away on their own. I’m having some money problems right now and can’t take her to the vet. I know some medicines for humans work well and will not hurt an animal. Does anyone know of any cheap over the counter meds I can pick up for her? or any home remedies?
My dog has an ear infection, are there any human meds safe for her?

no prolly not you should prolly take her to the vet so it doesnt get worse
my mother used to blow cigg smoke in my ear..it helps temporarily…probably not long term..
not really my dog has the same thing & i had to take him in. it just got worse with home cures.
I don’t think that any human medicines that animals can use that are safe since animals systems are different but if you take the dog to the vet the dog may get better faster.

No, go to your vet and they will prescribe something called Animax (not sure if that is the correct spelling) which is a cream you put in the ear canal… and possibly an oral medication.
Well back in the 60’s on the farm, I used warmed up garlic oil….it worked every time….had over 100 head of cattle, 9 sows, one boar, 9 horses a dog and cat and lots of babies from all these animals. I think thats a safe bet too try this…natures antibotic, so some research…..lol
No there is nothing over the counter you can put into a dog’s ear to help. Your just gonna have to go to a vet to get some ear ointment (antibiotic), they have different kinds otomax,panalog, and triotic. Your vet will give you one of these. If the infection is really bad, they may give an oral antibiotic also. I know that’s not the answer you wanted to hear , but you will have to do it because your dog will only get worse to the point where she will start having a problem with her equilibrium.
