My dog has what looks like ear mites in her ears, but they are very raw and red.
I dont want to put any medication on it(but I do have some for ear mites) because it will stig so much since their so raw
Is there anything I can do to make them less raw?

In my girlfriends rabbits, we use mineral oil. This suffocates them. It does not hurt their ears but is messy looking. Do it outside.

When I was grooming in a Vets office he game me a solution to use in the ears to clear up ear mites, cocker ear, and all the goop and debri in the ear canal.
One part Apple cider Vinegar- healing agent
One part 70% rubbing alchol- a drying agent
One part water- a dilution.
Fill ear canal with the solution and massage at the base of the ear to loosen any dibri, dirt, mites, puss etc. After you have massaged the base of the ear allow dog to shake his head but not before. Repeat with the other ear. If the solution is too strong you can add a little more water.
Your dog will not like this cause it burns but it works so good. As a Dog groomer I used it on all the dogs than came into my shop as a general ear cleaner.
You will need to do this twice a day for about a week before you see any results. Don't let him make you feel bad cause it hurts, he needs your help and ingredience's are probably in your house right now.
He was a vet that used alternative medicine on his clients dogs. A very good Vet Doc Minter

Get your dog to a vet...yes a bad case of ear mites can cause serious problems. If you absolutely can not afford or get to a vet use WITCH HAZEL...put a small amount on a cotton ball and gently swipe the inside of the ear. Do this several times and you will see the "crud" come out of the ear on the cotton. I have used this for years and has always helped without stinging or causing pain as Witch Hazel is oily. Witch Hazel can be picked up at any drug store even some grocery stores depending on where you live.
Good luck

First I would let the vet swab the ear for proper diagnosis. It may be a yeast infection to which ear mite meds will do no good. You can take a soft tissue and gently swab inside the ear yourself and wipe out as much dirt and "guck" as you can. these things can be very painful for a dog and should be addressed quickly by a vet for relief. Good luck

put some peroxide on a cloth or cotton and clean the inside of the ears out. if your dog will allow it and then rub a little baby oil inside

The vet has animax or panalog. I use neosporin until the red subsides
