I go to the vets and get the stuff they have there ( the non alcohol based one) Epi-Otic
I use it as a weekly cleanser for the dogs and the cats and I am very happy with the results ( its a non prescription refill as needed) | |

I use a home made recipe of gentian violet, alcohol, and boric acid solution. I have never found that anything from the vets works worth a darn.... the recipe is on my website, linked below if you are interested..... oh and I have to say .... the raw diet helps alot to

I use the blue wash also like Shalva, lasts forever and by far the best. Yes, raw is the way I go also... | |

does anyone have any recommendations for a non alcohol recipe? is plain mineral oil ok to use (it's ok for babies)? or is ear powder the way to go?
my advice is never use anything with a strong smell or anything that might sting their eyes. my dog has an absolute panic attack when i try to put drops in his ears and I found anything with a smell makes it worse. | |

the boric acid which is an eyewash cuts the sting of the alcohol and that is why it is in there......
I personally do not like anything oil based.... now there is a powder available in the UK but I can't remember the name of it.....
but I have not found anything to work as well as the purple/blue solution

I happened to find some ear WIPES today. no probably not as good as drops, but at least I don't have to deal with my dog flipping out over it  | |
