There is a good book on pets, http://www.amazon.com/Holistic-Aromatherapy-Animals-Comprehensive-Essential/dp/1899171592/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1360000409&sr=8-2&keywords=aromatherapy+animal (its available at Aromatools and My Oil Business too I believe). Plus the dog and cat tear sheets are in the file section of the group Share doTERRA on Facebook. The issue with ear infections in dogs is that food is often a contributing factor. Find a pet food that has lamb or chicken as its first ingredient (not meal or byproduct) and for the grain brown rice. Make sure it doesn't have wheat or corn in it. Grocery store foods just aren't good for them. I use Natures Balance but there are many brands that are good. If you have a Costco, one of the Kirkland ones is good (we don't have a Costco). [Science diet is not good food]. You can try switching the food, start with a 1/2 and 1/2 mix and then reduce the old food, and keep trying with the basil and lavender. If you want to add a bit of frankincense you could. Here is a dog ear cleaner you can use:

What do you use when basil and lavender don't work? I just had this problem, even tried geranium as I read online that it was good for ear infections but it still didn't knock it. I felt out of options and very frustrated. The oils have always worked, but I'd always used melaleuca in the past. I wish there was more information on which oils to use on dogs as I'd like to treat mine naturally.
