Thank you for your kind comment - our goal is to help increase awareness in our industry❤ Please share with others to help spread the word - we truly appreciate it!
I found your channel searching for a remedy for our recent 1+ year old rescue of a beautiful black cat that was abandoned. We named her Angel. We took her to the veterinarian and had all shots, worm treatment, and they checked her ears. They said there were no ear mites. I am not sure as she scratches. I don't see any sign of mites. I have had cats most of my life. I am 71 now! She has tiny patches on ears where she has scratched and tiny bumps on tips of ears. I read by rubbing a bit of olive oil and also aloe vera on the outside of ears will help. It seems to be working. I don't think the vet was experienced enough!😢
Word to the wise...if there are open scratches around the ear, steer clear of the ACV! It will sting if it gets into any open wounds from the scratching😢
Yes 100% ...coconut oil or almond oil work best imo
Also mix with water always
@@michellecardenas6072good to know ! Ty
Wat is ACV
It is very helpful when you put the recipes & ingredients WRITTEN in the corner of video! Thank you!
Thanks for taking time to respond. We appreciate your feedback and thanks for wanting the best for your pets!

Thank you! I'm so glad I found you!
Truly, this has been the most helpful information I have come across ever for my very healthy 14 yr. old kitty's ongoing ear issues. She did have ear mites a few years ago,which I treated with medicine from a vet. Then it seemed like she continued scratching her ears and around her neck. However, further tests showed she did not have ear mites so the vet wanted to do allergy tests, I said no and did my own research. Out of that info I changed her food & even her litter a number of times, none of which made any difference. And I've always given her the highest grade food I could buy such as Orijen/high-protein kibbles and no-grain wet can food, never the toxic laden cat foods. Then I quit giving her kibbles altogether and still no difference. Now her ears have scabs on them again and she scratches no matter what I do. I've also used Kitty Boost Essential Oil (Vet made) along her spine along with applying coconut oil topically to her ears and spraying ACV mixed with water around her neck area. Still no difference, this has been so frustrating for both me and my kitty. After watching this video, I am going to clean her ears daily for the waxy stuff as you mentioned and try the liquid coconut oil in her ear canal. This makes so much sense to me. I hope this helps her. It's so disheartening to see her so miserable everyday and I feel that my vet does not have any answers to help us. My vet actually told me 'it's fine to feed cats kibbles' when my research showed otherwise, as it causes kidney issues. However, she did state that she could not believe my kitty was as old as was because she looked so healthy. I told her that's because I feed her top of the line food and don't get her all of the toxic vaccines, most of which are totally unnecessary, perhaps except for rabies if they are outdoor kitties. Thank you so much for this info! You are truly a blessing.
Thanks for the video!
Good info thank you!
Thank you for your advice. I used vinegar and green tea as the vet recommended for 2-3 weeks. I also used it to clean my cat ears about 2 times a day. The ear mites have been reducing significantly at the 3rd week. I noticed the black stuff keeps coming back little by little. I changed a recipe by using tumeric powder instead of green tea. This time it works great. The black and gray stuff almost gone. Be patient. I hope this helps.
Very helpful, thank you -
I will try. Thank you ❤

You're welcome 😊 Here's more information to make sure to help resolve the underlying reasons ear infections commonly happen: th-cam.com/video/59dxcBm6yH8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=jEaq001RpVaSU6fO
I'm so glad I came across this. I'm at my wits end trying to get to the bottom of my cats itchy ears. I am currently using Tiki Cat and avoiding chicken as it seems that chicken is the cause of her itchy ears. Yes she's been to 3 different vets and none of them could find anything wrong.
I'm sorry to hear that you are dealing with chronic itchy ears. Make sure to check out our blog for more information on finding the root cause since there's usually a deeper reason for why the itchiness is there: thenaturalpetdoctor.com/how-to-treat-allergies-in-your-dog-and-cat/❤
I could have written your post Lisa. I don't think it's an infection with Zuni Marie as there is never any redness or smelly discharge, just a lot of brown wax & always wanting her ears rubbed. I did have one vet say that it could be chicken or beef causing the problem but taking her off both for a few months did not help. I hope taking your cat off chicken helps you.
Thank you so much for sharing the information!
You're welcome! I'd love to hear what you found the most helpful!
@@thenaturalpetdoctor that there is a natural remedy for ear mites. One of my cats has an ongoing issue. It clears and then comes back.
@@spaniacy make sure it's an ear mite issue and not a yeast/bacteria. They can look the same but a vet can tell through cytology. However, fixing the root cause is always the key!
@@thenaturalpetdoctor two different vets said that they are ear mites but no tests were performed... Thank you I will look into further!💗
If u treat and it keeps coming back it could be a diet issue. Maybe add omega fatty acid suppliment. Or coconut oil to diet @@spaniacy
Thank you so much ❤

I wish vets offered home visits, so stressful for kitty. Also, do have video on natural flea treatments?

I’m nervous putting liquid in my cats ear. Thank you for the information. Great video
I will probably try your recommended solution. My poor boy is lethargic and drooping his head to one side. He's never done this before. I just got a new kitten and cleaned her ears out with ear mite solution from the store and found lots of black junk. I'm taking her to the vet for them to do a proper job but I have an idea that she passed them off to the boy. I tried to clean his ears but he screamed in pain on one side so I stopped. He always lets me clean his ears though but this time is different. Poor baby. I'm also going to look at some other videos to compare yours with other recommendations before I commit to any treatments. My vet told me if I don't have triple ointment salve without pain reliever I can give a cat a small amount and it will do fine. So I'm giving him about a pea size amount on his paw to lick and putting a little bit in his ear. Im just lightly rubbing it around with my finger. I've used it before when he had distemper and he did fine. I found him outside a restaurant and took him home when he was a kitten two years ago. The new kitten was a drop off.
I made a mistake and said if I don't have triple ointment salve. Please disregard the don't.
By triple antibiotic ointment, do you mean Neosporin?
Just want to be sure.
@@jude7321I think so ive put on my cat before. But coconut oil is best imo and they usually will like the taste helps w pain itch and bacteria I. It's my go to
Hello, another great channel is Vetinary Secrets, Dr Jones, he has some very helpful videos for cats and dogs, all home remedies😊
I don’t have the money for a vet sol I am going to try your information. Thanks
How’s it gone so far? I’m thinking of starting today
You are a angel 😇
Hope you found the information helpful for your cat!
Hi, thank you so much for your video! I cant seem to find the products you recommend, I see on Amazon there are several Calendulas to choose from?
Get one that's organic . Acv w the mother ( brags) Any organic grn tea will work best.
Thanks❤
You're welcome! Thanks for watching. I'd love to hear what you found to be the most helpful?
Thank you. Last winter both my two cat's ears began to bother them inside the ears look wet. A littke yellowing on end of q tip but not much.. I took both my cats to two vets who didn't see a problem. So I tried some home remedies. This winter they have the same condition. again and I tried so many remedies last year before it was resoved. I'm going to try your remedy with the collidial silver as I think it was a colloidal silver spray that worked last year. PS I'm keeping notes on what I try and results this year.
Update?
Can I get this over the counter?
Hi Dr. My cat has continuel black crusts in the corner of he's eyes. Vet said its allergies. Will appreciate your help
How do u feel about olive oil?
Thank you ... another option to promote my animal companion's wellness is always appreciated. Just today I heard that Parvo can be held in soil for several months - so a young puppy could contract parvo from a backyard shared with wild animals like ???? ... is this true? Can bird droppings infect puppies? I've never heard such a thing before ...
Also for a middle ear infection with Horner Syndrome and vestibular problems ?
Miss lady i recently found a baby tabby cat like 2 weeks ago and he adjusted very well. Like it was if he was asking to live with me. He wouldn't leave me. And I couldn't leave him either. But he definitely has ear problems. Im going to try this remedy first thing in the morning. Thank you ma'am. I will text again after I treat my cat the way you said to. And I will record it so you can see too if want. I feel better knowing that I can help my lil buddy pal
Can we use ciplox drops in such case?
What about organic Castor oil?
I'm so glad I found u due to my cats and the fact that Grayson has em non stop and I'm so worried bc of the pus and stuff coming out ugh 😩😫 so I'm going to do the best I can from ur videos to fix the cats plus I have kittens again bc my cat got out and boom didn't know she was in heat but now we have pretty kittens 😍😍🥰🥹👏🏻😍😍 but I'm worried about all six cats now my kittens have eye infections and idk y and now mama does too and I have never had this issue with all the cats that I have raised shii any animals but I'm mainly meaning kittens born
What kind of tinctures? Alcohol based?
Hi Dr.Woodley, would it be safe to use this solution for around the mouth especially for cat chin acne?
Thank you 🙏
You can use this. However, for chin acne, we love this product from Feline Essentials Oxycat that you can use topically if you're able to get it: bit.ly/feline-essentials
@@thenaturalpetdoctor I really appreciate this information. Thank you so much for your help 😊
My vet just says my cat has allergies and keeps getting allergy shots. But it’s not helping and still scratches her ears and has runny eyes. My cat is 16 years old. I’m so frustrated.
I've been seeing a lot of castor oil content as well, but I've also seen some who say it's toxic. Which is It? 🤷🏽♂️
I’ve been on the edge of insanity. Our cat has a chronic sinus infection which, I believe, is the cause of his ear infection. To add to his problems, last summer was a hideous flea year. At that time I read that giving brewer’s yeast repels fleas. Giving that to him was a HUGE mistake as his ears are much worse now because of the brewers yeast.😭 I’ve been using colloidal silver and an oil based garlic remedy I bought on Amazon. The smell in his ears has just about disappeared but they’re still gunky & he has flare ups where his outer ears get flaky. A section of the inner part of his ear (not the innermost part, just inside the ear flap) is swollen & bloody. I hope one of these solutions helps.😢
Do you have any suggestions on recurring upper Respiratory infection in cats
Maybe dehumidifier
Put in bathroom and run hot water so it can breath the steam .
Do you have advice for really stubborn cats that don’t want their ears touched? I’ve tried the towel wrapping method but I still have a hard time keeping her still to clean her ears.
i hold my cat in my lap with my legs and hold her head still against my body with one hand and use the other to administer medicine. she ends up squished a bit between my body and legs, so i’m holding her body with my legs and her head with my hands. it might not work for you but that’s what works with my cat!
That is exactly what's been happening to my tomcat Ive tried several kinds of things oils, the vet ointment but it keeps coming back, how can I know what type of food to give him?
My Bombay has been getting repeat ear infections. I changed his food to Purina pro plan, his coat is shinier and he's more energetic, but he got another ear infection like a year later. Not sure what to do
I'm sorry to hear that your Bombay is experiencing this. We have to find the root cause/s for why the symptom of ear infections is occurring or else they will keep happening. I recommend downloading our free gut health guide to learn more here: thenaturalpetdoctor.mykajabi.com/pl/2148214995 and then watching our free Better Gut Health Masterclass th-cam.com/video/8_tIrCwjHHA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=TNBZCkNS5cZLbJRT
My 7mo old girl kitty Gigi got a yeast infection in her ears after antibiotic round. I would usually start probiotics after, but forgot and after a week noticed a flaky rash from eyebrow to her ear and reddish brown film inside her ear. Started veterinary formula ear therapy and added a small amount or Miconazole liquid to the mix. Only once a day, but should have maybe been twice a day. After 2 wks the rash was gone from around her ears, but the inner ear would fill up with the brown film each day again. After week 2 her ears were very tender, so I gave a 2 day break. It's back now so back to the routine. Is your 1st recipe ear cleaner effective for yeast? I hate to see her suffer and I can’t afford a vet right now. Thank you so much for your wonderful help... Can I send you a photo?
Update! I found a low-cost veterinary hospital. They did a swab of the ears, however, I won’t get the results till tomorrow. If it’s yeast, does your first gentle formula helps that situation? The vet stuck a Q-tip, super far down her ear, and she screamed out on both sides. She’s a very gentle, sweet kitty…
Anything changed i cant get vet rn and my cat is in pain i need help her
5:22 You say that the only contagious infection is ear mites. I need some advice.
My vet told me that my cat had a yeast infection in both ears and that it could be spread from cat to cat through their litter. Is that not correct?
Cuz I have 5 cats and desperately need to know how to stop the "yeast infection" that they keep gettinf
I've spent a thousand dollars on my cats ear..and hes still sick..i have no more money to save my cat..
Is this good for dogs as well?
1000% yes safe for dogs too...here's another video too with other options too: th-cam.com/video/q7NjCTFOBbM/w-d-xo.html
But I thought witch hazel is toxic to cats?
I'm really struggling here. What if your cat has these blackish bumps in one ear and also produces a lot of dark wax? So I got him checked because there was a ton of wax and he would scratch when I cleaned it, and he was clearly uncomfortable, and the other ear is normal. I went to get him checked for mites and infection and the vet said he was fine and suggested nothing. Then these blackish bumps started coming in like 6 months later. They look like they are slowly growing over time. Any thoughts or suggestions?
my cats suffering the same issue, they generally grow along side of the ears and very greasy. I tried used ear cleaning liquid to scrub it off, but it seems don't work. it's the pores developed underneath
It could just be a cumilation of dirt maybe cat not cleaning ears enough. Just keep ears clean w acv or coconut oil once a wk to see if this helps. I found aloe also helps alot w the itch and I'ts safe . A mix of aliens and coconut is what I use on my cats and in ears to help them.
When you say continued to there's no debris left do you mean continue in one sitting or several times a day ⁉️⁉️⁉️
Great question! Many times you'll have to wash the ears with the ear cleaner a few times to get all of the waxy debris out of the ear and then apply the remedy that you're using so it can actually contact the ear skin. Hope that helps!
I'm confused about the ingredients for the ear wash and ear infection. It says to use 'tinctures' which contain alcohol usually which is really bad for cats ears. If they dont contain alcohol, they contain gycerine which is oily and very sweet and promotes bacterial growth. My cat has freaked out when i used alcohol tinctures before and i will never do it again. and the ear issue we have is worse with the glycerine. can't i just make tea with calendula flowers and oregon grape root powder?
Can I use castor oil for my cat's ear infection 😢 one ear is worse than the other.
I have been using coconut oil, 😮but I still see dark inside the ear canal
Yes
Can we use castor oil as it is natural anti-inflammatory agent
Yes , I read you can
@@michellecardenas6072 thnx 😇
What should i do there is white watery pus coming from my cat ear?
I’m not an expert by any means, but that sounds like a pretty serious infection that requires veterinarian intervention. They may want to run some tests to rule out more serious issues or prescribe antibiotics.
Is this also applicable to ear polyps?
Unfortunately with ear polyps, they typically need to be removed from my experience.
@@thenaturalpetdoctor I'm planning on trying a homeopathic remedy first.
The root cause is spores; in the very air you're breathing.
Where u get the ingredients from what stores
Any just get organic/ food grade
❤
I just wanted the remedy, not the history, diets, and other stuff.
Just too many…”please like and subscribe”…when will they figure out that it’s just pushing people away. If I like the content I would gladly like and subscribe on my own…
Where is the science behind this?
There is none. But it is fungal, not from the food.
ive been using hydrogen peroxide in a spray bottle. they hate it but it gives them relief while breaking up the nasty in there. hopefully this is ok?
Thank you so much❤
