Swimmer’s Solution is a hydro-alcoholic dilute solution of acetic acid, especially formulated for dog’s ears.
Dogs that:
- are often in water (like Labradors),
- are bathed frequently,
- live in humid parts of the country or
- have “floppy” ears are predisposed to ear problems.
Yeasts, which thrive in dark, moist conditions are the most frequent causative micro-organism for these ear problems.
Indications
Swimmer’s Solution, which lowers the pH and dries and disinfects the ear canal, drastically alters the ear canal environment and renders it hostile to growth of micro-organisms.
