Our lab loves the water / pool and she was in it most of the day today. Now she keeps digging at her ear, I know she must have water in it. She puts her whole head under. Is it ok to put swimmers ear solution (rubbing alcohol) into her ears? If its ok for us will it be ok for her?

Swimmers Ear Solution

Never use human products on animals without asking your vet.
There are ear cleansers formulated specially for dogs. Flush her ears with this several times a week, especially after she swims, and wipe her ears on with cotton balls only, never q-tips. Also try using dog ear powder to help keep her ears dry. If she's digging at her ear she could have an infection which is very common in dogs that swim. Take her to the vet just to be sure if the digging doesn't stop in a day or two.

No you should not put swimmers ear solution in a dog or cats ears . Sometimes they have mites and that requires a different solution from the vet. you need to get your dogs ears checked by a vet if you think there is something wrong with its ears

There are a few real keys to dog training, whether you are trying to train your dog to come when called, sit, stop barking or any other behavior. Understanding their importance is critical to achieving rapid results that are long lasting and help develop the bond between you and your dog. Read more here https://bitly.im/l5YeS
The first is simple; you must win your dogs mind. If you don’t achieve this first then you will be struggling the all the way. When I talk about winning your dogs mind what I really mean is that your dog looks to you for all the decisions. Before you do anything else watch one of the amazing video sites that show you the 5 Golden rules to establishing yourself as the pack leader. If you aren’t putting these in place then you are setting yourself up to fail. Just at the crucial point where you really want your dog to listen they will go and do their own thing. For sure your dog may play ball occasionally or even most of the time, you may even have a dog that is obedient 99% of the time, however if you want a dog who always listens to you and does as you ask then you need to win your dogs mind.
The second key to success is to motivate your dog. It is really important that you discover what it is that your dog enjoys both in terms of exercise and play but also in terms of a reward. If you can make the experience enjoyable then you will both achieve more and look forward to training.
Some dogs love to fetch, others love agility, and other dogs simply love obedience training, or swimming out into water and retrieve. At least to start with find out what your dogs love is and help them develop this, what I am saying is work with your dog. The other point to recognize is to make training enjoyable reward your dog.

I have Newfies that swim all the time and I ALWAYS clean the ears out after swimming with just Which Hazel and cotton balls. It is drying enough to dry the ear out, and they have never gotten an ear infection!!!!!! Alcohol is a little too drying and a yeast infection can follow. Also it will sting like hell if there is any irritation in the ear. Then the dog learns to hate ear cleaning.

No. Because your dog is a water breed canine and it has floppy ears it is prone to ear infections due to the moisture in the ear canal. You should let your vet. examine her ears. IF infected he will give you a ear rinsing solution something like Epi-Otic and antibiotics. And you should keep the rinse on hand to use after every swim to help dry the moisture so it stops the yeast from growing.

No!!! Take it to the Vets and find out what is really going on in the ears, then use only what he/she prescribes.
