I put enough in an ear so when I massage the ear canal I can hear it gooshing around. Then, let them shake out any excess and wipe the ear flap off. Then about every 2 or 3 days I apply 3-5 drops per ear for 1 week. Problems are usually cleared up by then. If not, I continue for another week and then go to once a week.

And a thread about it: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...conut-oil.html | I've read lots of good things on coconut oil and have been wanting to try it for a while so I'll probably order some just to try. I want to google a bit more about it's use in the ears. Do you know if it keeps the acids in the ear in balance?
