Dog Ear Infections
Hydrogen Peroxide generally does a good job. It works on people, too. It generates oxygen when it contacts wax and tissue products and I think that the gas generated will help break up any trapped fluid. It will also treat any infection sites. For dogs and humans, the ear is quite sensitive to temperature, so it is best to warm the H202 to lukewarm before squirting it in there.

The 3% solution of medical hydrogen peroxide is not nearly as strong as the peroxide used to bleach hair and I have not known the 3% stuff to be a problem. I used to manufacture and bottle hydrogen peroxide for disinfecting contact lenses.
I believe that the hair type of peroxide runs up at about 15% concentration. In industrial plants I have used hydrogen peroxide up in the 35% range. Certainly the higher concentrations require considerable caution.
The main concern with the 3% normal medical H202 is to keep it out of the eyes.

Dennis, the spotting is worse than I imagined.

Dennis, do they make that Grecian Formula stuff for dogs?
Murf, a friend of mine has a Jack Russell and it is a pretty comical pet. I am generally not much of a small dog fan, but when a dog has that much personality, it is hard not to like it.
I used to have to be a real safety stickler when we were using 35% hydrogen peroxide. My guys would wear their face masks and a chemical apron, but occasionally they would splash a bit on their leather shoes and the shoes would start smoking. You have to be pretty careful with stuff that releases pure oxygen when it decomposes.

We raised AKC registered German Shepards on the farm when I was growing up. In addition, we always had a couple of hunting dogs for the local quail and other game birds.
Now, I tend to like Border Collies and Australian Shepards. The only problem with them is that they tend to be smart and easily bored which can lead to some interesting situations.
