ok heres something i know a LITTLE something about lol.....

as far as treating the ear infection itself:

you can use the recipe that you posted only i would use the wintergreen alchohol instead of the white. and i would add a little tea tree oil to the mix.

when buying all those products its gonna cost you approx 15-20$ which would yeild a lot more solution. which is the way i would go personally.

if you dont wanna deal with the mixture itself you can go to your local petco and get the "nature vet" or "natural remedy" brand ear flush for about $10.

whichever mixure you go with, (if you mix yourself use a catchup/mustard picnic bottle), flush the ear 2 times a day for about a week or until he stops shakin/tilting his head....

that combined with a cycle of amoxicillin have cleared up all of my ear infections i have had to deal with.

just a warning: right after you flush..run as far away as possible cuz they shake like hell!


you want to also find the cause of the ear infections.........when i worked for a corperate pet store, 9x/10 the cause was due to the dogs diet......everybody wants to blame the grains but MOST of the time it wasnt the grains at all but rather the protiene source in the kibble.....id find what u have it on, check the protiene source if its beef, try something less rich like chicken, if its chicken, try something like fish, ect....

like i said most of the time thats what it came down to......there were those few times where i scratched my head and just said "take it to a vet" lol......
