Yeast Infection in Dogs

Dogs aren't supposed to have a 'stinky doggy smell.' Or be so horribly itchy that they desperately claw and chew, self-inflicting trauma and pain. Yet some owners are so used to it that they think this is normal. What does your dog smell like today?
Yeast infections, especially of the skin and ears, are quite common in dogs. A normal amount of yeast progresses to an infection when the organism begins reproducing uncontrollably, causing an overgrowth.
Dogs with yeast infections often have an immune system imbalance, are on antibiotics or have recently taken them, are immunosuppressed, and/or have allergies.
Symptoms of a yeast infection in dogs include itching and general discomfort, a distinct and unpleasant body odor, skin irritation, and changes in mood or behavior.
Treatment of a yeasty dog starts with addressing the diet to remove all sources of sugar, including grains and carbs, and moving to species-appropriate nutrition supplemented with natural anti-fungal foods.
Disinfecting protocols and natural anti-fungal baths and rinses are also critically important in resolving a yeast infection.

Yeast killed my dog. I spent thousands of $$ at the vet. Prescription after prescription and nothing helped. I cut out commercial food and cooked his meals. (I didn’t mind trying to help him) ❤️ Rest in peace my little Buddy!❤️🐾🐾

[@KainsFleshlight]

Oh no I'm so sorry for your loss .... If you didn't mind me asking, what medication did the vet give you, and it what treatments did you try ..(again I am so sorry for your loss..I hope I don't come off as insensitive)

[@provident8732]

I been spending so much money these past 10 years with my dogs. This is the best info I got. Going to vet has done nothing to help. Even my friends that are vets can’t help. When I ask do they take their dogs out they say no. My dogs are active and out in the fields everyday. When I take my dogs to city parks keyword city. They tend to have bad reactions. But when I’m in rural town (low vehicle traffic) or out in the wilderness they have zero issues. Something in the environment of the city is the issue.

[@Brickzar86]

Most vets, like human doctors, are trained to look for pharmacological solutions to any given diagnose. Unfortunately, and unknown to most vets/doctors, they are just vendors for the drug companies; and drug companies know that it's more profitable to produce drugs that will manage symptoms, NOT solve the problem. The system is terribly broken. Good on you for taking it upon yourself to do the legwork to get answers! And thank you, Dr. Becker, for bringing us this unconventional information.

[@brettcantrell8650]

thank you so much.

[@whomeverwherever]

Also, please people, do not assume all itchiness is due to allergies. Mites, fleas, etc are also very common….and with that allergic reactions are typical from all the bites. But it’s not simply “allergies”…has nothing to do with diet or environment. Yeast infections in ears are also common with mange/mites.

[@ladikmk]

You're right. There can be other reasons as well. Something as simple as the laundry detergent used for dog's bedding, then if people use a fabric softener too. Not vacuuming upholstery regularly to remove dust mites, or washing dog bed covers, etc. So many possibilities for allergic reactions to happen.

30 years ago dogs didn't have so much issues. The last 10 years every dog I have, been having skin issues. Vets are big business now. Soon it will catch up to hospitals. No matter what I feed my dogs. High end dog food same issue. Raw diet same issue. Only thing I can do is bath them everyday cause I take them out everyday. But I notice it's environmental issues. If I don't take them out except to go potty and I wipe them down it's really minor red bumps on the belly. But why have a dog if gonna lock them in the house everyday. Something is poisoning dogs. Or a sign the world is a disease. It's not only dogs human been having more issues the past 15-20 years. Like almost every kid I know was born with skin issues.

Pesticide use in parks?

[@ladikmk]

When you take them out to go potty, do you mean in your yard? Are you using any types of pesticides, weed killers, chemical fertilisers on your grass because dogs can definitely be affected by that?

[@gtiernan1]

what do you prescribe for a dog who tests low on the immunoglobulin tests? I have a 2 year old male Doberman who has stubborn yeast infections no matter what I have tried, and over the last year, I've tried it all; conventional, homeopathic, holistic, naturopathic... The ONLY thing that helped him was Cytopoint injections, but after doing some research on that I decided to cease getting him those injections, not to mention the Cytopoint is grossly expensive. I am also doing a homeopathic liver cleanse, but that's not helping much. Additionally, I am doing a "healthy gut" protocol (L-Glutamine & collagen). Thank you for your informative videos!

[@jmesusi3]

What is the solution for the paws. Your video didn’t mention it? Only the witch hazel for the ear.

[@pinschrunner]

Despite the fact that all of my dogs are floppy eared, only one gets yeast ear infections from improper drying after daily swimming and very rarely, baths.. He has never had an antibiotic, but he did lose his optic nerve in his eye from his very first rabies vaccine.

[@brettcantrell8650]

thank you for telling us that and so sorry that he lost his sight!

If one were to look at yeast with a TCVM perspective, you should avoid ALL fermented foods internally. For instance, kefir, ACV, bone broth, tripe, sauerkraut etc

Very true.

would you feed raw carrots if not allergic? does that exacerbate yeast?

My experience is the only way to get rid of a yeast infection is antifungal medication along with medicated baths with a ketoconozol or chlorehexidrine shampoo, and NEVER leave your dot wet. Always towel dry then use a high velocity dryer mase for grooming, there are mini sizes for home use. Home remedy can actually make it worse.

[@prestonjohn1560]

What would you recommend for an overgrowth of yeast around the vulva. Is it safe to use the same treatment in this area as with the feet; i.e. water, hydrogen peroxide, and white vinegar? Thanks for what you do. It's sad that vets seem to have little to no knowledge about this subject.

Thank you Dr Becker this was an incredibly helpful video. Recently adopted a small dog from a shelter and he was constantly licking his butt like it was itching him so took him to the vet and they tested for parasites which was negative and also his anal glands were empty so they said he was fine and sent me on my way. He is still going after his butt and now because of this video I think it could be a yeast problem. It's sad that I now have to pay for another vet visit just to tell them what the problem might be ☹️. Both of my dogs eat The Farmers Dog which does have a small amount of carbs but not much. So what can I put on his butt to stop the itching?
