Answer 1

Blue Power Ear Treatment"

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 also will 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. BEST DONE OUTSIDE WEARING OLD CLOTHES as 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
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. Despite the alcohol, most dogs will not object to even the first treatment. 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 2nd or 3rd day 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, 2 x 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."

This is what I use and below is a direct link to a Cocker spaniel ear infection webpage with info and the recipe that they have used for years in their Cocker.

Answer 2

There is an operation where the Vet. can cut down the outside of the ear so that the ear can drain and get more air. The ear causes a seal to keep moisture in and causes ear infections. It can cost a little but in the long run what you put out in medicine and pain to the dog is well worth it. We to had a Cocker and went through all that too. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

You need to find the reason for the infection. Food allergies cause chronic yeast infections in the ears. Try eliminating kibble containing corn and other grains. You'll see an amazing difference in both the reduction of ear and skin problems and your dog will look much healthier too.

Answer 4

Try using tea tree oil or you can also use an oil that i always used on my kids if they got an ear ake in the winter It's called camphorated oil
or as my kids called it the magic oil. Warm a little in the mike. Then put it on a piece of cotton batton put it in his ear and leave it there for a couple of hours. It will help draw any infection out. You can use the Tea tree oil for cleaning after
Hope this helps

He may need to have tubes put in. The vet will sedate him, then cut a small hole in the the inner ear. Then the vet will put a small tube in the ear, so the pus can drain out.
Here is a website about tubes-http://images.search.yahoo.com/search/images/view?back=http%3A%2F%2Fimages.search.yahoo.com%2Fsearch%2Fimages%3Fei%3DUTF-8%26fr%3Dslv1-wave%26p%3Dear%2520infection%26fr2%3Dtab-web&w=640&h=480&imgurl=www.ent-usa.com%2FEar_Photos%2Fear-tube-infection-072402b.jpg&rurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ent-usa.com%2Fear_tubes.htm&size=26.5kB&name=ear-tube-infection-072402b.jpg&p=ear+infection&type=jpeg&no=3&tt=7,080&oid=e9d8c4304cb20a10&ei=UTF-8

But some things can be fix with a better diet. Buy a higher quality of food and see if it gets any better before you talk to your vet about tubes.

Answer 7

you will possibly be able to desire to take her lower back to the vet. It sounds like in all hazard ear mites. in case you had taken her to the vet previously he ought to have swabbed the ear and looked under the microscope for mites. whilst you're treating your dogs with an over-the-counter medicine you need to be doing extra harm then reliable. As for looking the tick in her mattress and eggs on her lower back you will possibly be able to desire to get her to a vet at latest.
