How to Use

Directions for Use

  • Prescription required: This medicine is only for use with a current vet's order and should be managed by a professional to ensure the treatment is right.
  • Prepare the ear: Gently wipe out the infected ear and make sure hands are scrubbed clean before starting the application.
  • Warm the bottle: Keep the container tucked in a palm for a short time so the liquid isn't cold, which helps prevent a dizzy feeling or discomfort.
  • Apply correctly: Tip the dog's head to the side and slowly put the exact count of drops into the ear opening.
  • Ensure absorption: Hold the head in that tilted position for a bit or rub the area lightly to make sure the medicine travels down where it belongs.
  • Complete full course: Keep giving the drops for the entire time the vet recommended, even if the ear looks better before the bottle is empty.
