1. Mix 50/50 vinegar and water
2. Fill a 20 to 50 CC syringe (without the needle on it)
3. Inject it into the ear - (not so fast that you would cause damage! Don't force it as so not to block the air that comes out or hard enough to damage the dogs ear drum!)
4. Massage it for 60 seconds
5. Clean the ear with cotton balls (not "Q" tips)
6. If the dog requires medications - put them in after this application
With dogs that seem to have constant ear problems - clean their ears at least once a week.
There are other cleaning recipes you can get here.
