Hi again! :flwr: I just want to mention what worked for me to clear up the red from the fur on Om’s face and paws.
She had ear troubles requiring vet visits and antibiotics. Her breeder recommended a mixture (see below) that worked wonders. No more problems.
On other sites, I had seen mention of using this solution for the red stain. I used a cotton ball to wipe a bit of the Blue Power Mixture on the outside of her mouth especially in that deep fold on the lower jaw that was a really dark red. I applied it every day until the stain cleared up. I also trimmed all that extraneous fur (result of being spayed) from her mouth. I wash her face after she eats. :roll: She’s a bit of a slobbery eater! :lol: I keep the fur in the fold of her lip really, really short.
Here’s the “magic” formula that worked for Omlette . BTW the Gentian Violet is an antiseptic/antifungal found in the pharmacy or healthstore.
Basic "Blue Power" Mixture:
16 oz of 70% rubbing alcohol
2 tablespoons boric acid powder
8 drops gentian violet solution 1%
Mix, shake well.
You will also need to shake solution every time you use it to disperse the Boric Acid Powder. I “squirted” it in the ear, but it can be sprayed. Massage the ear. Wipe out loosened debris with a tissue.
Hoping this can be of use to someone else,
:luv: Dorothy and Om
