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 will also 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. 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 will stain fabric, but, not hair.
The SCHEDULE of treatment is as follows:
Treat 2x per day for the first week to two weeks depending upon severity of problem.
Treat 1x per day for the next 1-2 weeks. To prevent problems treat 1x per month (or even
less frequently, depending on the dog)
All of these ingredients should be available at a pharmacy.
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.
