Blue Power Ear Treatment
CAUTIONARY!! Please get a veterinary consultation before treating any ear
problems. Your animals could have a gravely serious condition such as a
RUPTURED EARDRUM or a foreign body in the ear channel. Treating the dogs
ear in this condition could do irreparable damage and lead to deafness. A
simple swab and culture can reveal what bacteria is there, or yeast or ear
mites. PLEASE Be cautious, you're dealing with your pet's hearing!
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. To use,
purchase the "Clairol" type plastic bottle to dispense solution to affected
ears.
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. 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 OF TREATMENT
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 second or third you can clean out the ear
with a Q-tip or cotton balls. Their success rate for this treatment is
95-99%. Those who do not succeed have usually not done the treatment long
enough or have not been regular about it.
Dogs on the verge of ear canal surgery have been returned to normal with
only the regular follow-up treatment to keep the ear healthy. 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, 2x per week.
They have found the Blue Power 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. You may find other uses for this simple
anti-infective agent. Remember it is for external use only and be careful
not to get into the eyes.
