Dog Ear Infections
My Chesapeake Bay Retriever used to get the same thing.
Luckily she would let me do nearly anything to her. I would fix it with a large eye dropper full of Hydrogen Peroxide, shoot it down her ear then wait a second and tip her head over. Just be sure to hold an old towel or something to her ear to catch it.
Best of luck.

I have a friend & customer who is a vetrinarian by trade. He is the one who tipped me off to doing it.
When I asked him often I should do it, he said twice a day as required was fine for no more than a week straight, after that it may cause some irritation.
The key is to keep the solution in the ear for 30 seconds if possible.
Best of luck.

A word of caution here though.
If KoKo is a CHOCOLATE lab you will need to be carefull about getting the hydrogen peroxide on her fur.
Otherwise she will look like a photo negative of a Dalmation the next time she gets wet. Believe me.
Best of luck.

I don't see what the problem is Dennis, "Spot" is a perfectly acceptable dog's name and she will learn to come to it in about a week..... ;-p
Michael, you are, of course, right about the 3% - 15% solutions, however even 3% solution that remains on the fur for a long time will do the same thing, just to a lesser degree.
Now the only problem I have is a Jack Russel Terrier who thinks he's part dolphin. If a toy of his makes it to the bottom of the pool or lake he goes straight down after it, he regularly goes down 4+', luckily the water comes right back out too because he wouldn't sit still for treatment, grooming maybe, but only with a good supply of his favourite nibbles at hand. Last year he became the life of a dinner party on our patio when a friend of my wife dunked her car keys in the pool by accident when she missed her husband's toss to her. While they were looking for the skimmer to retrievethem I merely whistled for the dog and pointed to the keys. By the time people had wiped the splashed water off them he was back with keys.
Best of luck.

Michael, JRT's are often referred to as "the biggest small dog you will ever find", other phrases include "Napoleon reincarnated" and "smarter and bolder than they are cute".
I had a 'problem' with the great-grandfather of the dog I have now. I was attending a horse show and another attendee was a wealthy Austrian lady who had a pair of Dobermans, brother & sister from the same litter, Venus & Zuess. They were incredibly well trained and obedient, but a little aggressive.
The problem, was that THEY were at HIS show grounds. I heard a commotion and turned to find my dog was missing, I went racing off to find him and just before I did I heard a loud yelping and much growling. I came around a corner just in time to see one Doberman leaving at a full on sprint and my dog was swinging from the neck of the other one. I say 'swinging' because even though he was 6" clear of the ground and hanging from the grip he had on it's neck he was still thrashing back & forth trying to shake it! All Terriers have a peculiar, very aggressive side-to-side shake that is often called the 'Terrier death shake' and is how they dispatch their prey when hunting. In hindsight it was pretty funny. At the time it wasn't.
I whistled and told him to "drop" and he opened his mouth and released the other dog whereupon it departed at full tilt yelping loudly. My dog swaggered away as if he had just defeated his mortal enemy.
I grew up with Boxers, they are almost as big a dog as JRT's think they are....
Best of luck.
