THORNIT is useful for cats and rabbits as well
Invented by Mr Watchman in 1907, his proven formula has been helping
pets for over a century. This was just before modern methods were widely
used by vets and many formulations like THORNIT EAR POWDER were forgotten about.
THORNIT EAR POWDER is a powder that is based on Iodoform. The
Iodoform has a very distinctive medical smell that helps to discourage
the mites. You may recognise the smell from sticking plasters. THORNIT
EAR POWDER also contains the active ingredient Boric which is an
effective antiseptic.
Zinc oxide is added as a drying and curing agent that helps irritation to stop the itch cycle.
These chemicals come in crystallised form and are ground down as fine
as is possible, though may still be slightly gritty in consistency.
They are all added to carrier powder to make it easier for
application.
