DEAR DR. GOTT:
Some years ago my dog had itchy ears. The vet said it was probably a fungus and to put a solution of 50% water and vinegar into his ears two or three times a day for a week. He also said we should either do it outside or be sure to throw the dog out before he shook as it would make a mess. It worked like a charm.

A few years later I developed an itch in my ear and decided what’s good enough for my dog is good enough for me. It worked! My wife was at least kind enough not to throw me out of the house before I shook!

DEAR READER:
I am passing along this tip to my readers for their use and input. Thanks for writing and letting me know about this novel approach to itchy ears.
