How to Use

Directions for Use   

• Inspect Ears First: Before application, visually check your pet's ears for redness, swelling, or discharge and consult a vet if abnormalities are present.
• Fill the Ear Canal: Apply solution as needed to fill the ear canal, using 5–10 drops depending on the size of your pet's ear.
• Massage Gently: Gently massage the ear base to loosen wax and debris; a squishing sound during massage is completely normal.
• Allow Head Shaking: Let your pet shake its head naturally, which helps dislodge loosened debris and excess solution from the ear canal.
• Wipe Away Excess: Use a soft cotton ball or absorbent material to wipe away any excess solution visible at the entrance of the ear canal.
• Pre-Treatment Timing: When using before a prescription ear treatment, apply TrisOtic 15-30 minutes prior to allow the solution to prepare the ear canal.
• Wash Hands After: Always wash hands thoroughly after each application to maintain proper hygiene.
