How to clean infected dog ear - This Really Works the Best!

If you have struggled with ear infections with your dogs, the instructions below are the answer to your prayers.

Things You'll Need

• 91% Isopropyl Alcohol
• Boric Acid powder
• Gentian Violet Solution

Instructions

1. Assemble you ingredients. The 91% isopropyl alcohol has less water than the normal type. If you can't find any of the 91% you can use the normal type. For the boric acid and the Gentian Violet solution you should be able to find them in a natural type pharmacy or online.

2. Mix ingredients in a squeeze bottle and shake well. I used one of the ineffective ear treatment bottles I bought at the pet store.

   16 oz Alcohol
   4 Tablespoons Boric Acid powder
   16 drops Gentian Violet Solution 1%

3. Squeeze into each ear and massage in for as long as you dog will allow or about a minute. Most likely your dog will shake its head spreading the excess liquid all over. I usually do this procedure in my dog walking clothes right before a walk. The violet drops can stain so doing this outside is highly suggested.

   Suggested schedule:

   2 x/day for 2 weeks
   1 x/day for the next 2 weeks
   1 x/month thereafter

4. You should see results right away. Less itching and scratching and thankfully less odor coming out of the ears.

Tips & Warnings

• You can find the ingredients at http://www.medshopexpress.com/ if you can't find them locally.

• I also tried to make a habit of putting some of the liquid in the dogs ears after they went swimming as a preventative measure.
