| Here's a tip on ear problems if interested We had a puppy once when we got her she had a bad ear infection in both ears.We took her to 3 vets and was given different meds and nothing worked i was given advice from a spaniel owner and after one treatment infection gone and never returned. Here's the items you need to buy from drug store if your interested. 16 Oz. Isopropyl Alcohol Boric Acid Powder Gentian Violet Blue Power Ear Wash Recipe INGREDIENTS: 16 Oz. Isopropyl Alcohol 4 Tablespoons Boric Acid Powder 16 Drops Gentian Violet Solution 1% Mix together in alcohol bottle and shake well, shake this solution every time you use it to mix the Boric Acid Powder. Either a baby ear syringe or a plastic squirt bottle work well for putting the solution in the ear |

| Thanks for this information. The violet solution is new to me. I'll have to ask my vet about this. How often do you use it? Is it just as a preventative? Wouldn't the alcohol be painful to infected ears?

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Very interesting. Boric acid is often used in humans who have chronic yeast issues. I've never heard of this particular combo, but it's interesting. The Gentian Violet is also an anti-fungal -- so it seems this mixture is geared toward yeast and not bacteria.
