How do I use canker powder?

Directions for ears:

Apply a pinch of powder around the inner ear avoiding the ear hole, you may wish to apply the powder using a small soft brush or earbud.
Gently massage the powder in from the outside. Apply powder twice a day, relief comes with the first dose but you should continue for 3-5 days until the brown wax starts to move. This means the mite is dead and the wax will come away. A weekly treatment of powder will keep the animal free from re-infection.

Directions for anus:

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. Mix powder with a cream such as Vaseline and apply under the tail.

Directions for paws:

Hold the paw in a plastic bag containing a small amount of powder. Work powder between claws, into pads and a little way up the leg.

Directions for ear hair stripping:

Dust the inside of the ear with powder before plucking to allow easier and less painful hair removal.
