MalAcetic HC Intro
DermaPet will NEVER send an attachment. Although we are relatively
sure we are not infected right now, realistic experience tells us to err on
the side of caution, so do not open an email from dermapet@aol.com
if there is an attachment.

MalAcetic HC, a 1% acetic, 1% boric acids and 1% HYDROCORTISONE product will be launched in Orlando. Soon to follow will be our MalAcetic HC Shampoo and MalAcetic HC Conditioner. The latter is a leave-on, dry-on product. Both products retain their antimicrobial efficacy (See New Treatment of Malassezia Otitis, Gotthelf, Vet Forum, 7/97; Efficacy of an Acetic Acid/Boric Acid Ear Cleaning Solution for Treatment and Prophylaxis of Malassezia sp. Otitis Externa Aust Vet Pract 34[2]:79-82 Jun'04 and Susceptibility of Selected Otitis Externa Pathogens to Individual and Mixtures of Acetic and Boric Acids, Benson CE, Proc 14th AAVD/ACVD meeting, 1998)
I invite you to read all of the above articles at our web site. In particular, note that MalAcetic is 87% and 88% effective against Malasszia and, at .5% MalAcetic is effective against Staphylococcus while at 1% is effective against Pseudomonas. Note: that the 2% strength provided by our MalAcetic Otic and the rest of the MalAcetic line is what you have been relying upon. Now, for those sensitve, inflamed, pruritic or erythematous cases, you can use a gentler product with hydrocortisone.
There is still another fatty acids article which demonstrates their positive
effect in atopy and cancer. Essential
Fatty Acid Therapy in Canine Atopic Dermatitis and Cancer, Robert Hilton BVSc
(Hons) MACVSc also offers an excellent description of the mechanism of action
of fatty acids for those of us who need the occasional review.
Colonial Conference, Williamsburg, VA
RALPH LEE did it again with a RON WHITFORD program they had record numbers for
this regional meeting. CHUCK MICHAELS covered the DermaPet booth.
There were no other notable meetings and, thus, very little gossip to report.
Lou Gotthelf's Small Animal Ear Diseases
The 2nd Edition of Lou
Gotthelf's Small Animal Ear Diseases is out. There is a chapter by YT as
well as others by many other "experts." At $59.95 this is a great
deal considering all the color photos and the fact that ears represent up to
20% of your business.
