Boric Acid Powder

I was wanting to make the ear recipe that has been posted. I am having trouble finding the Boric Acid Powder. I checked Meijer and Rite Aid pharmacy. The mgr at Rite Aid said he can't even order it and then looked at me like he suspected I was trying to cook Meth or something! Where can you find it?

Re: Boric Acid Powder

You can get it at Home Depot in the area where you get roach killers. It is in a white and red plastic bottle.

You can just buy this product - it's the pre made 'purple stuff' : http://www.k9rawdiet.com/K-9-Ear-Solutions-Ear-Cleaner-Gentian-Violet-Formula-pr-112.html

Re: Re: Boric Acid Powder

They have boric acid powder on the shelf at my CVS. I have to wonder if your store manager is confused.

Re: Boric Acid Powder

I got mine at Meijers.

Re: Boric Acid Powder

I have an even harder time finding gentian violet.
It took me forever to find it last time and now I have no idea where I got it from. I have asked at RiteAid, Walgreens and they look at me like I am nuts.
I even tried to get it from out health food store and they don't have it in their order books.

Within the last year, I had purchased both at Kroger Pharmacies but you might have to check with the pharmacist.

We buy boric acid powder and gentian violet at WalMart.

Re: Boric Acid Powder

Someone told me the gentian violet is located by the iodine in the pharmacy.

Re: Boric Acid Powder

Walmart carries the Boric Acid in their pharmacy department. Or at least the one does around here.

Re: Boric Acid Powder

Went to Walmart and no luck finding it but did locate it at RiteAid. This is the very same place I tried ordering it from once and they looked at me like I was on crack and had no clue what it was. When it came in it was the wrong stuff any way.
