[Dailydrool] Blue Ear Treatment

[Sandi Wittenberg]

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 conditions of ears before treating and if very inflamed
and sore: Do not attempt to pull hair or clean out ear at all. Just flush
and then wait until inflammation has subsided, which will be about two days.
Warm the solution and shake the bottle each time before using. Flood the ear
with solution. Massage gently to the count of 60, wipe with a tissue. On
first treatment: flood the ears twice, wipe with a tissue, and leave alone
without massage. The dog will shake out the excess, which can be wiped with
a tissue, Note: 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. After the 2nd or 3rd day you
can clean out the ear with a Q-tip or cotton balls. 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. Users
of the Blue Power Ear Treatment have found 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 anti-infection agent, as it is a
dye mixture that acts as a bactericide, fungicide, and anthelmintic
(destroys worms). Remember that gentian violet will stain fur, clothing,
etc. As for the source for Gentian Violet, it, along with all the other
ingredients, should be available at a pharmacy, and may have to be special
ordered. It comes in small bottles, similar to iodine, and costs fewer than
50 cents, which will pro vide enough to make gallons of the Blue Power Ear
Treatment. The Blue Power Ear Treatment appears to work well on any and all
ear problems from mites to wax to canker. The success rate for this
treatment is said to be 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, may
also be some Pseudomonas bacteria in the site. This can be eradicated by
using a gentle flush of raw apple cider vinegar and water (warmed). Use 2
Tablespoons of vinegar to one cup of water, 2 x per week. They have found
the Blue Power Ear Treatment 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.
