Hillbilly I hear you have a good ear mixture to use on dogs. Can you post it?

I'm not sure what you need a cure for but I heard that for ear mites you can put WD-40 in the lid and pour it into the ear canal.

I don't know what you are looking for but if you mix one part alcohol one part vinegar two parts water and Alabama John told me to add a little iodine. This will clean take care of yeast infections and kill mites, and it is soft enough to use often until the problem is solved. Hope this helps.

This is what I use as well. Seems to work well, done this for the last 20 yrs of owning beagles. Got this one from the old timers.

2 or 3 drops of ivomec will get rid of those ear mites too i have used ivomec for several years on ear mites

yeah the vinegar stuff would have to work. i have tried the Blue Power and it didnt totally cut it. Ivomec is the way to go on mites. Just have some of those dang scabs that pop up on the ends that are a bugger to get rid of.

When using this how much do you put in there ears?

You can use quite a bit of it. Either use a clean syringe without the needle on it or I use a clean pop bottle and punch a hole in the top and then squeeze it into the ears and then massage at the base of the ear and then let the dog shake its head. You can do this several days in a row if necessary.
