Dear Llena,
 
Cleaning your fuzzies ears with olive oil does make sense.  I have been
using it on my kids for years.  It is an old homiopathic remedy for ear
aches.  My kids have never been to the doctor because I use this at the
first sign of trouble.  I also used it on my farm animals, especially my
does, when they had sign of infection.  It always worked.  Hope this helps.
