Nenah, fortunate to say it is not mites or other  critters...
She has had test for them when she was treated for her ears by vets in the past when it was getting terribly out of hand. Apparently a fungi, pseudonoma, florishes during humid weather. That was the last of several diagnoses for this recurring problem.

Fleas and other critters are not grateful for enough garlic in the food... and that has been succesful for years.

If any other Australians here on the list are aware of a supplier of DE , please pass on this contact. Thus far not been able to locate any here in Australia.

If your dog is being bothered by mites, fleas or other insect critters, you can dust his/her coat with diatomaceous earth. Make sure it's food grade, and wear a mask when you dust the animal's coat. If the D.E. is eaten, it kills parasites.

Teri, that was a timely reminder, thanks so much for that.
As a result I am searching further. CS/EIS alone has not solved the problem with the dog's ears in past hot and humid periods. Whilst searching through other information I came across some testimonials by people who had used CS/EIS mixed with Miracle II Neutralizer.

Having both at hand, I will make up some of this and try it out. Other uses of this neutralizer have given very satisfactory results (it stopped her endless chewing on her paws) so here is hoping that it might help solve this problem too.
Will let you know at the end of Summer (March or so) how she fared.

BTW, she is B.A.R.F. dog ((meaty)bones and raw food, no grains).. and always has silver added to her drinking water (rainwater)..
