I am always on the look out for anything that works great.
I heard of this ear cleaner called blue power wash from some breeder friends of mine. They were bragging about this
stuff and how awesome it was. I am usually pretty skeptical about things like this and it took a long time for anyone
to talk me into making and trying it. I tell you this is the best stuff in the whole world and I will NEVER go back
to the store bought brands again. This stuff really works and I HIGHLY recommend it! Try it you will be amazed!

INGREDIENTS:
16 Oz. Isopropyl Alcohol
4 Tablespoons Boric Acid Powder - this powder is a little hard
to find. You can find it a some health food stores or at some small mom & pop pharmacies.
16 Drops Gentian Violet Solution 1% - now this stuff took me
a long time to locate. You can find it on line and order it or you may be able to find it at some mom & pop pharmacies
or your local walmart may also carry it. If walmart doesn't have it ask them to order it for you. If you happen
to find the 2% gentian violet instead just use 8 drops.
Mix together in a large bottle and shake well. We have found that if you go to your local beauty supply
and find a bottle with the long pointed tips like the kind they use for hair dies, it works great for getting into the ear
canal. (Do not worry you can not touch the dogs ear drum)
Please 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.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
Check the ears before
treating. If they are inflamed and sore do not attempt to pluck the hair or clean out ear. Flush the ear with the solution
and wait for the inflammation to go away. Usually takes 2-4 days of this.
On first treatment, if the ear is NOT inflamed, flood
the ear twice, wipe with a cotton ball, and leave alone without massage.
The dog will shake out the excess, which
can be wiped with a tissue. (This stuff will tint lighter dogs fur but this will go away and will not cause harm to the
dogs hair. This stuff does stain fabrics though.
Treat 2 times per day for the first week - two weeks, depending
upon severity of ears.
After the 2nd or 3rd day you can clean out the ear with a Q- tip.
Treat one time per
day for the next 1-2 weeks.
Treat one time per month (depending on the dog and the severity of the ears).
