I just bought some of this product. Thornit powder, from the U.K. This helps to heal ear infections early on and kills mites. Read about here:

If this does not go thru then go to http://www.championpets.co.uk

Then go to ear problems and thornit powder I will check again

Thanks for sharing puttin510,

Our dog has the exact same ear problems described in the article.

So where can we actually buy this product (Thornit powder) at the vets? supermarket? pet shops?

Please let me know

I recieved mine in the mail a couple of days ago. I bought it and will be using it about once a week. You only need a tiny bit. It will keep them from having ear problems, instead of waitng for it to happen.
Lovemypets : I suggest buying it and using it as a preventative instead of waiting for ear problems to happen. Much less painful for the dogs. This is what the ladies on the other form have told me they have been using it on their poos now for a few years. Of course it's for any breed.

Albert: as Jjami said you can order it thru their site, They this anywhere in the world. When you begin check out process near the end it will have a money conversion chart. But the actual printout will be in U.K. currency. The currency converter will let you know how much it is in american money if are are from the U.S. Or anywhere else.

I think that the whole getting wayer in the ears theory is wrong. Poodles are water dogs, they were bred to retrieve fowl from the water for their owners. Plus you have to clean inside their ears. I don't try to get water in her ears when bathing but I am sure sometimes a bit gets in. there is the epoitic ear cleaning fluid that people use to clean the ear which is like water. The powder helps to dry the ears. You have a yorkie so their ears are upright. Dogs with upright ears have far less infections than floppy earred dogs like poodles and maltese etc. This is another reason for having to pluck the ear hair to give more air to the ears. My poodle no longer has brwon wax in her ears at all with use of this powder. They look very healthy. I think you meant Bathe up above right, instead of cathe. Thanks for your input.
