That said, I check him frequently if there's any head shaking or scratching. We follow Dr. Mercola's page and find his advice and products to be a great resource.

For us each one seemed to be for different reasons so we follow our vet’s instructions. I do sniff the pups ears once a week and have a ear cleaning spray the vet gave us for routine cleaning. I am intrigued by "the purple stuff" and think we shall give it a try when our current bottle runs out.Barks & Tailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09991516850447080842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-660403021590106773.post-53801466634687742342016-02-28T07:59:17.479-06:002016-02-28T07:59:17.479-06:00We usually don't have problems with ear infect...We usually don't have problems with ear infections in our home, as my dog Lilah — or Dr. Lilah as we sometimes refer to her — cleans everyone's ears.

They have eardrops, ear cleaner, skin spray, they have saved so much money and vet bills, I can't even begin to tell you! The good thing about Zymox is that you don't clean the ears before use. It is mainly used for yeast infections, butts can help in other ear imbalances too. <br />I have heard of this ear cleaning solution before, butts the gentian violet has kept Ma away. There is really no good place to have that flung! Butts, I am gonna keep this recipe if the Zymox stops working.

We have tried every medication and cleaner on the market and they don't touch it. After Emma's last post about the purple stuff I finally decided to give it a try because nothing else worked. We are on week 2 of the treatment and his ears have never looked better. I am so happy with the results! I'm assuming, based on the ingredients, it changes the PH in the ear but whatever, it worked! I'm very interested to see how they will maintain after the treatment. jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08111366525685780384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-660403021590106773.post-87579745473847637052016-02-25T20:47:02.627-06:002016-02-25T20:47:02.627-06:00Those are some beautiful ears for modelling!
