I just use some ear wipes that I buy from the pet shop to clean the inside of my dogs ear's but was just wondering what you all use?
-
Hi Maria
I use ear wipes too! And have just recieved some Thornit that I ordered last week, its supossed to be a brilliant preventative measure and also helps with any problem, that may already be there :D I have read on many sites about this, people seem to swear by it :wink:
I'll let you know how I get on with it :)

I've been hearing alot of good about this Thornit, can I buy it in a pet shop?
-
Hi Maria
thornit is excellent stuff definately recommend it :D I buy mine from www.championpets.co.uk I also use the saline water that people use to clean contact lenses I personally don't use those ear wipes but that's just my choice :wink: I occasionally clean using saline because luckily the thornit does the good work. The people from champion pets will send you a very informative leaflet about using thornit but I can never get on with using the back of a teaspoon handle I usually just grab a pinch and put it in when scoobies lying down relaxed I don't know how the others get on (I mean applying it)
anyway it's worth a try

Hi Maria
I didn't order mine over the net, as I wasn't sure if it was a secure site or not :? I telephoned through with my credit card number, 1 day later I had the Thornit 8)

Hi,
I got my thornit from http://www.dogsstuff.co.uk/index.htm (http://www.dogsstuff.co.uk/index.htm) they do mailorder or you can phone them through with your credit card. It arrived next day. I have been using Thornit as a preventative measure for years and swear by it.
However, my little Wesley has had a very allergic reaction to a homeopathic remedy (he managed to get hold of and devour a whole bottle of Pulsitilla) which has caused his ears to pour with green gungey matter.
I wouldn't attempt thornit at the moment as his ears are so wet. He currently on antibiotic ear drops after a week of tablets didn't help. Seem to be improving with the drops. He is also on a homeopathic remedy (sulphur 30c) to counteract the pulsitilla. As soon as his ears have cleared up (which better be by next monday as he should be going to his first show at three counties) then i will start using the thornit again. Also I am hooked on the smell of it too :lol:

I used to use that too, but it can work out quite expensive, compared to the Thornit :roll: The Leo is good though :)
