The DixieDog Ear Treatment."
INGREDIENTS: (Available at any pharmacy)
16 Oz. Isopropyl Alcohol
4 Tablespoons Boric Acid Powder
16 Drops Gentian Violet Solution 1%
Mix ingredients into a plastic squirt type bottle, these work best to
dispense the solution to the effected ears. Shake this solution every time
you use it to disperse the Boric Acid Powder. Your dog will not object to
even the first treatment. The Boric Acid Powder soothes the ear. The Gentian
Violet solution is an anti-infection agent.
TREATMENT: Evaluate condition of ears before treating and if very inflamed
and sore do not attempt to clean out ear at all. Wait until inflammation has
subsided which will be about 2 days. Shake the bottle each time before
using. 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, the Gentian Violet does stain
fabrics.
SCHEDULE:
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.)
The Success Rate for this treatment is 95-99%. You MUST complete the
schedule.
Should an infection persist in the treated ear after the above course of
treatment, you may also have some 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 times per week.
