FISHER ED Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 My dog trainer uses and told me to use a 50/50 mix of Listerine and white vinegar. Have been doing it for almost 3 years now and no problems. It must tingle in there becasue it drives my guy nuts. I put mine in an old contact lens saline solution bottle and just lift up his ear and squeeze some in. Rub it around a little and let him shake it out. He'll run a few laps around the house and then we do ear #2. A couple dog treats after than and we're good to go until he goes swimming again.Good luck with his ears.

MikeYager - Suzuki Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 I use ear cleansing solution from vet. Lasts a long time and prevents infection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-ProGuy Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 I have an 11 year old Springer that has been notorious for infections since he was a pup...vet told me to make up a solution that was 1/2 white vinegar and 1/2 rubbing alcohol and use it any time the dog has been swimming, and once every 7-10 days otherwise to help keep his ears clean and dry. It has worked really well for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
