Eww dogs ears!

just found this wonderful home made recipe online which sounds as if she knows:

REGULAR PET EAR CARE

I make a mix of lemon or vinegar, crushed fresh garlic, tea tree oil, black walnuts (picked green, sliced, soaked in vodka) which is so pesticidal since it’s alcohol, that it’s amazing with other ingredients. And Neem Oil from any Hindu/India grocery. Doesn’t matter. I roll cotton onto twigs from my tree, making a bigger q-tip than is available. Dip in this acidic potion, clean ears. Any black in a cat’s ear is mite poop indicating mites. Do it regularly, even daily . (If you get mites in your ear, it sounds like you have deafness in the ear 24 hours a day, sometimes. A virtual sound cacophany! But seconds after you apply this stuff, the mites die in one second flat and your ear hears better again. So I know my magic medicine works even though the cat/dog/rabbit, etc., will not be too happy with the odors until the ear stops itching/being deaf! Wear plastic gloves (not rubber because it will pull the animal’s hair and cause them to be combative). Wrap them in a large towel, except for the head, with the neck area snug, but not so tight that it chokes them, and use paper towels or a rag to toss after wiping up any drips. If you have any left over, refrigerate for other applications, as needed.

This should bring instant relief. If the animal shows no signs of healing/comfort in three-four days, see a vet because it could be something more serious.
