Dianne,
It depends on what is causing the infection in the ears. If it is yeast
(very common, usually brownish gunk) then vinegar will deal with it quite well.
Use white vinegar and dilute it 5/1 with water (5 parts water, 1 part
vinegar). You can use a cotton swab to GENTLY clean the ears with the same
solution, but first fill the ear canal with the liquid and then massage it in,
then let the dog shake it out as much as possible. CS will deal with bacterial
or viral problems, not yeast IMO. Mites might need a mitecide of some sort.

Subject: CS>gunky dog earss - CS / DMSO
Hello group-
We have friends visiting that have brought their older lab with them and the
poor thing has terribly gunky ears. She has been using a store bought solution
for cleaning and vet purchased liquid for treating the ears but it never goes
away. My question is would cs alone take care of the problem or would you need
to put some DMSO in with it to penetrate the gunk? Would this mixture be safe
for a dog?
Dianne
