Earthclinic.com has lots of home remedies for pets. Check on the toxicity of tea tree oil on pets before using it though. Racer
I don't know too much about using the tea tree oil for this, BUT, I have another tip for you. My dog had a bad yeast problem with constant hot spots, scratching, and icky ears. My vet gave me drops for the ears and I added some plain yogurt to her diet each day. She is a Bichon and not too large but I give her a heaping tablespoon or more each day in her bowl. Sometimes I give it twice a day.
She also had stomach issues and we would find little piles of yellow icky stuff around. Since I started the yogurt, she has been incredibly better. No hot spots so far, knock on wood and no more stomach problems. The good bacteria in the yogurt kills off the yeast issues. Make sure it's unsweetened. I use Stoneyfield plain. It's been at least 8-9 months since I started the yogurt and so far so good. The vet also told me to clean her ears regularly with peroxide on a cotton ball, dampened, not soaking. Hope that helps.
It doesn't matter if it is yeast or ear mites, tea tree will help heal and soothe your pet. Get a carrier oil--olive oil will do. Add a few drops of tea tree oil to about 1 oz of the carrier oil. After cleaning the ears with peroxide (if you can), add some tea tree oil mixture, close the ear and rub the ourside to distribute it. After a few days, your pet should feel better.
I don't know about Debe's dog, but my dog's GROOMER told me my dog had a yeast infection in her ears.
Instead of going the pharmaceutical medication route, I would like to find a natural or herbal remedy, too.

Hi i have a cocker spaniel and as everybody knows they are prone to ear infections. Everytime I took him to the vet I will spend hundreds for different or same medication and not to mention the visit I came across a vet that told me to use Gelmicin this product is from Mexico but you can buy it online it is very inexpensive and similar to Neosporin but it is not Neosporin so don't use it because I don't know about Neosporin. What you do is rub Gelmicin all around the infected area and in the dogs ear, make sure a little goes inside now leave it on the dog for that whole day and weigh it out the follower day as well then do it again.
