#53 What I Did When My Dog Got an Ear Infection
Episode 53
Published 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Description
I’m sharing something personal: what I did when my own dog got his very first ear infection.
And honestly? For one day, I considered going the traditional route.
Even as a more holistic veterinarian, I had that moment of, “Should I just treat this the conventional way and move on?”
But instead, I paused. I slowed down.
And I chose to do exactly what I recommend my clients and pet parents do: trust the process.
Because an ear infection is rarely just about the ear.
In this episode, I walk you through my thought process, what I considered, how I supported him, and what ended up happening when I leaned into root-cause care rather than rushing straight to suppression.
In this episode, I talk about:
- Why I didn’t immediately jump into traditional treatment
- The importance of asking why the ear infection happened in the first place
- How ear symptoms can be a sign the body needs deeper support
- Why slowing down can be one of the most important parts of healing
- How I used ozone and laser therapy to support his body
- What I was watching for during the process
- How I thought through comfort, inflammation, immune support, and the bigger picture
- What happened after I chose to trust the process
