Susan, have you tried hydrogen peroxide? use a cotton ball dipped in the peroxide, and swab the ear without too far inside. It will bubble and your kitten will be upset, but you can wrap the kitten in a towel with its paws tucked in so it wont scratch or bite you. Then after you do that, you can move into a q-tip dipped in the same stuff and go down as far as you can without actually entering deep down into the ear. Keep this up for about 4 weeks, using the peroxide every other day or so.
