Ingredients
- 1/4 cup warm water
- 1/4 cup of white vinegar
- 1/2 tsp. Boric Acid
- 2 drops Tea Tree Oil
- 2 drops dish detergent
Directions
Put ingredients into a glass jar and shake to mix well. Using a couple of cotton balls, dip them into the solution and place the cotton ball(s) into your pets ear, one ear at a time. Quickly close the ear flap over the opening and using your fingers rub the ear in a circular motion. Do this for about ten seconds so the solution has a chance to penetrate the ear. Take the cotton balls out and stand back a bit because your pet will shake their head immediately! I use another clean cotton ball to dry around the opening to the ear. It will be yucky! Do the same for the second ear.
Follow this routine once a day for a week and then once a week from then on to prevent mites from invading your pet's ears again. Works wonderful!
A note: Boric Acid is available from your pharmacist. No prescription needed, by law they have to keep it behind the counter, just ask. It runs under $3 for a container that would last forever. Share with a friend!
