First: Relieve the pain Then: Address the Cause to Restore Health

BLUE POWER EAR TREATMENT
said to be up to 99% EFFECTIVE

Many have found it also effective for cuts,
fungus between toes, and small tumorlike
cysts, and the treatment MUST be
done faithfully as instructed. Avoid the
"shock" of a cold solution, remember,
the ears are very sensitive, so your dog
will appreciate having it warmed up a
bit. I've found that the best way to warm
up a solution is to place it in a cup or
glass of very warm water for about a half
hour or so.

Caution: please have your veterinarian evaluate your dog's ear drum prior to treating
the ear problem yourself. Be certain that the ear drum is NOT ruptured, as there could be the risk of deafness or loss of equilibrium. Your vet can rule out the presence of
tumors or foreign bodies such as foxtails. A microscope smear would reveal bacteria, yeast or mites and then a culture and sensitivity test can be performed

INGREDIENTS:

16 Oz. bottle of Isopropyl Alcohol (standard 70%)

4 Tablespoons of Boric Acid Powder

16 Drops of Gentian Violet Solution 1%

Mix together in alcohol bottle and shake well.

As detailed in the book, It's For The Animals! Natural Care & Resources,,

www.itsfortheanimals.com you will also need to shake solution every time you use it to

disperse the Boric Acid Powder. Purchase a flexible plastic bottle with the opening at the top so that the solution may be gently squeezed out and dispense solution to affected ears. The ideal is a hair-dye bottle available at a pharmacy, Wal-Mart, Target, etc, or a
beauty supply store.

TREATMENT PROCEDURE:

1) Evaluate condition 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.

2) Warm the solution (as instructed above) and shake the bottle each time before using it for treatment,.

3) Flood the ear with solution (gently squirt bottle).

4) Massage gently to the count of 60, wipe with a tissue.

5) On first treatment: flood the ear twice, wipe with a tissue, and leave alone without massage.

6) The dog will shake out the excess, which can be wiped with a tissue.

Note: the Gentian Violet does stain fabrics, etc. so you may want to wear gloves.

The SCHEDULE of treatment is as follows:

• Treat TWICE a day for the first week to two weeks, depending upon severity of ears.

• After the second or third day you can clean out the ear with a Q-tip or cotton balls (see caution below)

• Treat ONCE a day for the next 1-2 weeks.

• Treat ONCE a month (or even less frequently, depending on the dog).

Caution: When using a Q-tip, only insert it as far into the ear canal as you can actually see. Use care to prevent the gunk from falling down into the ear canal.

Note: All of these ingredients should be available at a pharmacy, and some will special order items for you. One
brand of the Gentian Violet 1% solution is "Humco" and the one ounce bottle typically sells for slightly over $3. It is called an "Antiseptic First Aid Antiinfective".

The Boric Acid powder in the 4 ounce size typically sells for about $3.25 and is usually in stock at the 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, gentian violet will stain fur, clothing, etc.

As for the source for Gentian Violet, it, along with all the other ingredients, as was previously mentioned, they should be available at a pharmacy, or may have to be special ordered. The Gentian Violet comes in small bottles, similar to iodine, not at all expensive and will provide enough to make gallons of the

Blue Power Ear Treatment. A very easy method to make the formula is to poke a hole in the top of the cap of the bottle of alcohol, add the Boric Acid, and then the drops of Gentian Violet.

Answer 2

NO!!!!
Do not use baby oil!
Use UNSCENTED baby wipes to clean out the ear if it is just outer ear and flap dirt. If it is gunky and goes down quite a ways, go to a decent pet supply shop and buy a good liquid cleaner and some large cotton balls....Follow the directions on the bottle.
You can also order good ear cleaners from petedge.com.
If it smells bad or is brown and waxy/gunky you should check with your vet as you will need either a mite medicine or yeast medicine...
Save a bit of the wipings for your vet to look at under the microscope and go ahead and clean out the ears...
The ears should be wiped out with baby wipes at least once a week....more often if the dog is playing in dirt or goes swimming often....

you should go to the pet store and get dog ear cleaners. using baby oil might do the trick but you don't know what effects will it give you dog after the fact. I had to always clean my dogs ears and always buy the ear cleaner but depends whether your just cleaning it because of dirt or because of ear mites.

You should really go to your dogs vet to get cleaning solution for its ears. Using anything else may give it an allergic reaction.
