Ear infection questions...

Our Chuck decided a couple of years ago to be a "lop-eared corgi." This is either because of, or perhaps the cause of, ongoing problems with fungal ear infections that never quite clear completely up.

Last week our vet said she really doesn't want to see us forever dosing his ears with the meds she's been prescribing, because the meds can become toxic after extended treatment. So now we're just cleaning daily with ear wash for a while, and Chuck is scratching up a storm!

Several people have suggested that we try lavender oil drops as a holistic treatment, since it has antifungal properties and is regarded as safe to use, at least for humans. Has anyone heard of this for dogs, and would anyone recommend it?

Thanks!
