DOG EAR PROBLEM REMEDY:
Ingredients:
16 Oz. (500ml) Isopropyl Alcohol (95% - 97%)
4 Tablespoons Boric Acid Powder
16 Drops Gentian Violet Solution 1%
Mix together in the alcohol bottle and shake well. Shake each time before using because the boric acid powder will settle. To administer a dose, use a 5cc syringe or equivalent eye dropper.
Treatment:
At first, do not try to clean out the ear or pull any hair. Wait for several days until the inflammation, if any, has subsided. Gently squirt 2 - 3 cc of the solution into the ear canal and gently massage the ear for a minute or two. Blot the excess solution with a tissue. Repeat the dosage and leave it. The dog will shake out the excess which can be blotted with tissues. Be careful, because Gentian Violet does stain fabrics.
Schedule of treatment is as follows:
Treat twice a day for the first week, to two weeks, depending upon severity of the problem.
Treat once a day for the next 1 - 2 weeks, if necessary.
Treat once a month (or even less frequently, depending on the dog.
All of these ingredients should be available at a pharmacy. Some pharmacies might need a couple of days to get the Gentian Violet. You will find that despite the alcohol, the dog will not object to even the first treatment. The Boric Acid Powder soothes the ear. The Gentian Violet solution is an effective anti-infection agent. The solution appears to work well on any and all ear problems from mites to wax to abscesses. After a week or two, you can clean out the ear with a Q-tip or cotton balls, if necessary.
The Success Rate for this treatment is very high indeed.
Persistence is the key to success. If you are not making progress, then most likely you have not been doing the treatment often enough, or long enough.
Dogs with very serious ear infections have been spared from expensive surgery, by using this treatment. Recovery is quick and usually complete. An occasional follow-up treatment, every few months or so, will keep any further infections from happening.
