@laurajdahl This is funny.. I have a husky/shepherd mix that has a problem with his left ear. He's been shaking his head the last 2 days. How did you solve your dog's problem? I'd like to avoid the vet if possible because a lot of the time they just try to sell me on extra tests and treatments that aren't necessary.

My dog has fleas. Not really, I'm just tuning my guitar.

My husky/shepard mix has a chronic Left ear infection.. It always returns... Only in the left ear... The stupid "Natural Path" Vet gave me steroids to give my dog... What the??! I thought he was a natural pathetic vet?! Obviously the steroids didn't work but now I am out of $300 +.... Wish Vets actually knew how to treat and cure ear infections.. Its like they want you to come back to them so they can profit off your pets and your pain..

I believe my dog has an ear infection. He is a Lab mix, and seems prone to them. Within the past two days, he has been scratching/shaking his head, and I can hear fluid. His ears to have dark waxy "gunk" in them, which I've tried cleaning out with peroxide and toilet tissue. I've heard of using apple cider vinegar and other home remedies, but am unsure how to apply/use them.
