Hi Charlie,

As well as trying to find something to apply to the ear, it might also be
good to try and work out what is causing the infection.  In my dog Halley's
case, feeding anything containing yeast or grains caused a yeast infection
in her ears.  When I removed these from her diet, I no longer had problems
with ear infections.

Here is a great article which will provide lots of ideas for treating the
infection directly, and also for playing 'detective' and working out what
the cause may be: http://www.critterhaven.org/critterchat/earprobs.htm
