Dear NurseDR, Consider trying Blue Power Ear Treatment. Buy the ingredients, mix them and follow the directions outlined on Helen L. Mckinnon's web site;
http://www.itsfortheanimals.com/ The solution is a mixture of Isopropyl alcohol (16oz.) , boric acid (4 tbls), and gention violet solution 1% (16 drops). All ingredients are available at your local pharmacy. The large chains CVS, Genovese, etc. do not carry Gention Violet. The small local pharmacy stores usually have it in stock. The ingredients cost about $6.00. One of my dogs suffered for well over a year while I tried everything the vet suggested. My vet bills exceeded $1000. treating ear infections using vet prescribed meds. I showed my vet the formula for Blue Power and he advised against using the solution. He's a great vet, just tends to be conservative. Against his recommendation, I used the Blue Power and within three days saw great improvement. By the end of the first week, all indications of inflammation were gone! I'm now using the formula once a week and seeing nothing on the cotton ball after routine cleaning. Prior to using the formula I was pulling out at least three cotton balls of wax, dirt etc. Finally after approximately 15 months of suffering, my dogs ears are in great shape. Please refer to the site above, follow the directions and consider trying the mixture.
