Re: RC: itchy ears

[Rae Callaway <tallcarabs@juno.com>]

  My boy, Chief, had some type of mites or fungus in his ears a couple of
years ago.  The cream the vet gave me was expensive and only worked for a
short time before the flakey/itchy skin came back.  I then tried what I
use on my dogs -- Sulfodene.  It's an oily yellow liquid that you can
find in the pet food aisle at the grocery store.  Just get a cotton ball
and dab some on the horse's ears.  It helps ease the itching.
