I had a dog with ear problems and I can tell you that probably a mix of CS, alcohol and peroxide is something you might want to research. The alcohol will help dry the ear and the CS and peroxide will help clean and disinfect. I didn't know about CS at that time so I just used the alcohol and peroxide. They don't like it much because of the noise it makes and the funny feeling, I imagine. Make sure you dry out the ear well with cotton and Qtips when you are done. PT

One of my rescues is - hopefully - at the tailend of detox. I pulled him out of the shelter in Feb 2012 and he was a hot mess (it would have been more humane for the shelter to put him down than to let him sit there as rescue only. Of course no one else stepped up...). He was in sad sad shape - I cried at the sight of him. Took me 2 years but I have gotten him *almost* turned around and his leaky gut syndrome *appears* to be clearing. All naturally, raw fed, no chemicals or meds, with the exception of a Benadryl or Tramadol once in a blue moon. He even has his own homemade laundry detergent for his kennel blankets. His left ear appears to be his immune system's final target for eliminating toxins. I searched your files and found info re cs and ppm specifics. I administered several drops of 10ppm. Because it is yeast (with secondary bacterial infection), the ear got worse. Zymox has little to no affect. Before I spend money on a higher ppm (higher ppm is suggested in the archive msgs), I need help with a better understanding of something.... as I understood the ppm thing, anything higher than 20-25ppm was pointless and 10ppm is sufficient for anything. I also understood that with so many particles, there is a better chance of foreign objects attaching to them... and possibly even bacteria (which makes absolutely no sense). Did I misunderstand? Can someone explain or is there a link or filef you can send me (my phone has issues logging into Yahoo so I apologize for not checking the files)? Thank you in advance! Teri and the Happy Hooligans
