The vet used to give me pills and drops. I dont have any or id send them to you. If your dog is shaking its head or cocking it to the side (bad ear down) its got one. call the vet, nothin else works. my vet used to charge like 30 bucks for the pills and drops but its been a few years.

Any other problem like mites/ticks,etc. can use plain mineral oil, have done so many times in past cures/cleans clears up problem.
