I haven't used CS on this. I had this problem with my German Shepherd, and
discovered it was flies biting her ears and creating the sores. My vet gave
me something that repelled the flies, and the sores healed. I don't know
what was in it, as it was a couple of years ago, but probably nothing good.
I wonder if something mixed with citronella would work, or if citronella is
harmful to dogs?? Also, wonder if this problem occurs more in shepherds --
my other dog was never bothered with them.

Subject: CS>dogs and ear mites or flea bites and CS?
I just noticed our shepherds ears are crusty and bumpy on the outside of
the ear flap. He's been itching a lot, but life has been busy ;-( The
inside of the ear seems fine believe it or not.
I'm not sure if it's mites, fleas or flies. Of course diet is the root
cause of any of this and we've been lazy and they've not been getting
their veggies and oils much the last couple months with their raw meat
and bones. Our female is scratching too but no visible signs of
anything.
I have noticed him scratching in other places but I cannot visibly see
any indication of patches, bad skin or fleas or flea poop.
One of my vet herbals says to put 1/2 tsp of oil of oregano in 1/2 to 1
ounce of olive oil and apply to the ear which I did to the outside ear
flaps where the hair is yesterday and today and I will keep at it and
see what happens.
But CS just popped into my head and I wondered if anyone had ever had
any success with this??
