Hi all..  I totally agree with  Rubellite about THORNIT... I have used this product for about 8 years on my Springer Spaniel's ears.    Springers are known to have dodgey ears due to them being long and collecting grass seeds and rubbish on the ear fur...  I also use it on his feet when he gets grass seeds in his toes (long fur again) ...  I use it too on the cats when necessary...  GREAT stuff

My cat's ears are greatly improved. The Thornit arrived on Monday and I put some in imediately. He seemed happier very quickly.
His ears look a lot cleaner today (Thursday).  He has shaken almost all of the wax out.
He will allow me to touch his ears now. He used to flinch and run off.
I am also applying the antibiotic drops so I can't say for certain whether the improvement is due to that, or to the Thornit, or due to both together, but if the problem returns I will be applying the Thornit before I see the vet again.
Thanks again for the advice everyone.
I have a persistently itchy place between two toes (mine, not the cat's) and am thinking of applying Thornit to that.
These old remedies are sometimes very effective. I once experienced the results of a bread and sugar poltice on a nasty infected graze on my leg when a child and it gave excellent results.

Glad to hear that he's feeling more comfortable

hope mine doesnt get caught up in the postal strike

Jelly, did the Thornit arrive and have you tried it?

[Jellyhead]

Yes it did thanks. However, Scoobys ears were too far gone it seems and I had to have him asleep at the vets for a total clean up. He is still on meds as the infection was deep poor Scoobs

Poor Scooby. Perhaps when the infection has cleared you can use the Thornit for maintenance  :happy:
