My dog had an ear infection and an associate at our pet clinic prescribed the very expensive Otomax. Well on another occasion when we visited for yet another ear infection, the vet, owner of the clinic, recommended 1/2 alcohol to 1/2 vinegar. I used a suction bulb to get the mixture in my dog's ear then remove it. There was lots of yucky stuff. I did this twice a day until the infection cleared and she was never had another ear infection.

Congratulations on correct diagnosis for your dog's ear infection. This is a typical example that you always insist on speaking with the owner but the prescribed Otomax is correct and excellent product. Why was your sweet girl having accruing ear problems?
Good luck.
When I had dogs with chronic ear infections the meds from the vet were very expensive. I found a local compounding pharmacy where the pharmacist was able to compound the same ear drops using the same antibiotic and a base solution (inert ingredient) and make up a much larger batch of the meds at a very much less cost.
My Golden Retriever is always suffering with earmites. I treat her all the time with earmite medication that I buy from pet store but they never seem to go away. She also has a bald patch on her thigh which has turned her fur pinky red. It as been there a long time now but as not spread anywhere else I have treated it with creams, etc. but it will not clear up it does not bother her.
This sounds like a good remedy I'm just concerned on how my dog will react to this. I just treated him a month ago where the vet flushed out his ear & given antibiotics & it's back.
1/2 teaspoon, 1/2 tablespoon, 1/2 cup?? sorry just trying to get the measurements right, i'd like to try this.
Depends on the quantity you want. 1 tsp water mixed with 1 tsp of apple cider vinegar is enough for both ears and one treatment for my dog
My shih tzu/maltese mix has a chronic ear infection, I read that you recommended a 1/2 alcohol to 1/2 vinegar. What are the measurements, a cup
