INGREDIENTS:
16 Oz. Isopropyl Alcohol
4 Tablespoons Boric Acid Powder
16 Drops Gentian Violet Solution 1%
Mix together in alcohol bottle and shake well.
You will also need to shake solution every time you use it to
disperse the Boric Acid Powder.
TREATMENT: Evaluate condition of ears before
treating and if very inflamed and sore do not attempt to pull
hair or clean out ear at all.
Wait until inflammation has subsided which will
be about 2 days.
Shake the bottle each
time before using.
Put cotton balls or similiar absorbent material under the ear.
Flood the ear with solution, (gently squirt bottle), massage
gently to the count of 60, wipe with a tissue.
Flood again on first treatment, wipe with a tissue, and leave
alone without massage.
The dog will shake out the excess which can be
wiped with a tissue, cotton ball, etc as the Gentian Violet does
stain fabrics.
The SCHEDULE of treatment is as follows:
Treat 2x per day for the first week to two weeks depending upon
severity of ears
Treat 1x per day for the next 1-2 weeks
Treat 1x per month (or even less frequently, depending on the
dog)
All of these ingredients should be available at a
pharmacy.
The Boric Acid Powder soothes the ear.
The Gentian Violet Solution is an anti-infection agent.
The solution appears to work well on any and all ear problems
from mites to wax to canker.
After the 2nd or 3rd day you can clean out the
ear with a Q-tip or cotton balls.
The success rate for this treatment is 95-99%.
If an infection seems to be remaining in the
treated ear after the above course of treatment, you may also
have some Pseudomonas bacteria in the site.
This can be eradicated by using a gentle flush of
raw apple cider vinegar and wateR(warm)
Use 2 Tablespoons of vinegar to one cup of water,
2 x per week.
They have found the Blue Powder Solution to be
effective for treating fungus-type infections on the feet and
elsewhere on the dog, for cuts on dogs or people, and for hot
spots.
Remember it is for external use only ..so be
careful not to get into the eyes.
