I know Listerine is good because a old groomer friend told me to use it years ago when I had my shop ... -------Original Message------- From: Sharon Williams Date: 1/20/2007 5:03:24 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [labradoodles] Ears Renie, Most feed stores or farm supply stores will carry it, but it's only for external use and not recommended for the inside of the ear. The smell comes from bacteria deep in the ear canal. I had a Doodle I was ready to have put down because she had such chronic ear problems for three years and the smell was terrible. We would get them cleared up then the next week they were getting infected again.The vet was going to do surgery and put in tubes, I tried the disenfectant ear cleaner and Original Listerine after clearing the initial infection and she has not had the problem since. Also before we go to the lake or she swims I put in a few drops of Sweet Oil, it repels the water and helps it to drain out better I got all of this info. from a Homeopathic Remedy Book. Sharon

LOL! 16 OZ. Isopropyl Alcohol (60 percent) 4 Tablespoon Boric Acid 16 drops of Gentian Violet Solution 1% Mix together in a alcohol bottle Shake each time you use to mix up the boric acid. Use cotton ball. I use this with my dogs works like a charm Use 2x's a day for 1 week and then evaluate the ears.
