Ear Problem
Rose, Thanks for making a good point. One thing I would like to add is that nothing should be put into a dog's ear without the vet first examining the eardrum. What looks like a nasty yeasty ear can be a whole host of bad things cooking one of which is pseudynomous which destroys the eardrum. Veterinarian evaluation of the dogs ears is a must before using Blue Power for the reasons stated in your post. That is noted as a caution on the web site. http://www.itsfortheanimals.com/BLUE.HTM In my case, my dog had been under vet care for an extended period of time. We tried Alocetic Ear Cleaner, which is alcohol free, Foaming Sensitive Ear Cleaner and Otimax all to no avail. Only the Blue Power seemed to help and did not seem to bother the dog as much as the vet prescribed ear cleaners. But! your point should be well taken. The ear problem needs to be diagnosed by a vet. Thanks, Steve

Hi Steven, One thing I would like to add is that nothing should be put into a dog's ear without the vet first examining the eardrum. What looks like a nasty yeasty ear can be a whole host of bad things cooking one of which is pseudynomous which destroys the eardrum. Some medications are not appropriate for dogs with ear drum damage and I certainly wouldn't be wanting to put alcohol in in such a case. Persistant ears problems should be cultured. Many home remedies are fine for cleaning the external ear but caution should be used when liquids dribble into the ear. Rose

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. Steve Squillante Casey the young Berner, (Having an ominous lump removed tomorrow) Hunter, my problem ear Golden
