| What are the best products for caring for our furbabies ears? Hi everyone I just wondered what you all use to keep your furbabies ears clean? I also would like to know how you use it and how frequently? Luv Franceen |

| That's spooky I've just posted this on another forum: Some dogs do not like the liquid stuff that you have to squish into their ears. So I use a dry powder called Thornit. It's an old fashioned remedy that my family have used for many, many years. As it's still in production, I guess it can't be all bad. It has many uses: anti-ear mite, anti-canker, if your doggie has "flop bot" and it's not anal gland problems, it could be a mite's breeding bed - just dust this stuff on, if your doggies constantly chews paws - try dusting this on, a light dusting in waxy ears and a gentle clean with a cotton bud will help to shift the wax, some ear mites can transfer to the body and cause intense itching/scratching -often diagnosed as an idiopathic allergy - try dusting this on the skin, dust it on your fingers and it makes it much easier to pluck the hair from the ear canal. Best of all, you will NOT be self-medicating antibiotics to your fluffs. A little goes a very long way. Available in the UK HERE and several other places, I have no doubt. I haven't done an online search for other countries but if you can't get it where you are and really, really want it, PM me. This commercial has been brought to you but someone who is totally unrelated to the product |

| Hi Lorrie This powder sounds great! I will have a look and see if I can get it. It's also good to know that the product is something you and your family have used for ages and found effective. I am sure that Tootsie would hate a liquid being put into her ears so the powder is a much better idea. Thanks. Luv Franceen xx |

| Hi Franceen. I`ve heard, via another forum, that Thornit is very good, though I've yet to get round to ordering any. Mine don't mind liquid drops so I use either Otodex or Johnson's Ear Drops, both of which I've found very good. |
