THE ORIGINAL THORNIT POWDER for ITCHY or SORE EARS
Does your dog constantly scratch or rub his ears?
One of the most common causes is ear mites that can cause canker.
A vet in Australia has isolated the mite that causes intense itching and distress in dogs, who are continually scratching and biting parts of their body. The vet says the ear mite has transferred itself to the scurf of the body. It is tiny and very mobile. Vets can find nothing wrong - skin scrapings sent to vet college give a clean bill of health. Shampooing is useless. Treatment - dust some Thornit lightly onto the skin. If animal has long hair, part the hair with a comb, feeding a trickle of Thornit to exposed skin. A Little powder goes a long way.
If the animal pulls it's bottom on the floor, and it is not gland trouble, the mites could have made a breeding bed under the tail. Treatment - Apply a tiny amount of cream or Vaseline to finger of glove and dip into the Thornit powder. Apply to just under tail where necessary.
Mites can get between the claws, making the animal first lick the paw constantly, turning the pads to jelly. Then they tear out the fur, and finally nibble until there are open sores. Treatment - Hold the paw in a plastic bag containing a small amount of Thornit. Work powder between claws, into pads and a little way up the leg.
For all treatments only a very small amount of Thornit is needed per dose. Comes with full instructions for use
