I mixed up a batch of the Gentian violet, alcohol and boric acid powder for my cocker. It works well -- but that Gentian violet stains like crazy. My white carpet can attest to that -- with purple smudges here and there! Be sure to wipe the excess off really, really well.

Another thing I used to do with our springer spaniel was to shave the underside of her ears and the area that the ears covered when flopped down. It helped somewhat with the air circulation and quicker drying. Once the infection was healed I would regularly squirt a mixture of equal parts rubbing alcohol/white vinegar/water into the ears and "sqwirch" it around so it would reach way down into the canal (which is L-shaped and long) to make a hostile environment for yeasts and bacteria.

I have a Shih Tzu who used to suffer from chronic infections of the ears. We took him to the vet over and over and was given one antibiotic after another, many creams, ointments and solutions etc...I have also tried MANY of the over the counter things and nothing worked. I came across a product that I buy on Amazon.com (i get it there because its cheaper) its called Zymox with hydrocortizone, its clear, no smell and none staining. This stuff is a AMAZING! I used it once a day for 7 days and it took care of it! Its made for bacterial, yeast and fungal infections. You can also get it without the hydrocortizone.
