Either use Zymox Ear Treatment that can be found in pet stores or mix your own concoction of Blue Power Ear Wash. You can find the recipe on this website or do a google search on the name. Many dog breeders use this as it's inexpensive to make and works great on long ear pets. I use it on my own dogs and they've never had an ear infection.

I gave my dog fish oil, one teaspoon, twice a week, and it has cleared up his fungal ear infections. Prior to this I used an anti fungal cream whenever his ears smelled bad. That worked but he hated it. He has floppy ears so I cut some areas of fur beneath the opening to his ears to let some air in. I also let the fur on the tips of his ear grow long enough so that both fur tips can be clipped together on top of his head from time to time to let more air in. Fungus likes dampness so try to keep the inside of his ears as dry as possible.

If your dog is scratching his ears a lot from the fungal infection they will get raw, red and painful. I used cortisone ointment inside each ear, which cleared up the redness within a half hour. Try to keep his nails cut or put socks on his rear legs, held on with Velcro, until you think the infection has cleared. I've only just started the fish oil. So far so good. Good luck.
