Hi Steven, One thing I would like to add is that nothing should be put into a dog's ear without the vet first examining the eardrum. What looks like a nasty yeasty ear can be a whole host of bad things cooking one of which is pseudynomous which destroys the eardrum. Some medications are not appropriate for dogs with ear drum damage and I certainly wouldn't be wanting to put alcohol in in such a case. Persistant ears problems should be cultured. Many home remedies are fine for cleaning the external ear but caution should be used when liquids dribble into the ear.
