"The DixieDogT 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: 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.)
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.
