Garlic Powder Make sure garlic powder does not have corn oil in it. Canola oil is the only oil allowed (can purchase garlic granules at Smart & Final --no oil in it at all and relatively inexpensive). For a medium-sized dog, add 2 tsp garlic to food, in addition to using it in the ear.
Monistat Get 7 duo pack. Squeeze the ointment into the dog's ears twice a day, either before or after the garlic powder, OR, mix the garlic powder with the Monistat ointment to make a paste.
Oil of Oregano Call the people at North American Herb & Spice Co at 800-243-5242. The doctor who developed this stuff for people worked it out for the dog as well; amount is based on weight. A medium-sized dog is given 4 drops of Oil of Oregano in food daily. Can substitute Olive Oil
OR
Oregano Use fresh or dried oregano herb on the food with each meal.

Another Option
Pellitol Ointment (Veterinary Specialties). This antiseptic ointment contains bismuth, resorcinol, and juniper tar, and is very effective for treating acute and chronic otitis externa when packed into the ears. It is inexpensive, and forms a protective soothing coating of inflamed ear canals.
