📋 Veterinary Administration & Dosage Guidelines
Prior to application, the ear canal must be carefully examined by a veterinarian to ensure the eardrum (tympanic membrane) is completely intact, as administering this product with a ruptured eardrum can cause serious toxicity.
General Guidance:
- Preparation: Clean the external ear canal gently with a vet-approved ear cleaner and wipe away any loose debris or black crust before applying the ointment.
- Application: Attach the flexible applicator nozzle to the tube. Squeeze a pea-sized amount of ointment into the ear canal.
- Massage: Gently massage the base of the ear for a few seconds to evenly distribute the ointment throughout the canal. Wipe away any excess product from the outer ear flap.
- Frequency: Typically applied once daily for 21 consecutive days (to match the life cycle of ear mites), or exactly as directed by your veterinarian.
⚠️ Important Veterinary Health & Safety Information
- Visual Description & Symptoms: The product is a smooth, yellowish-white ointment packaged in a 10g tube, equipped with a long, flexible cannula tip for safe insertion. It is typically sought after when pets display clinical signs of ear distress, such as frequent head shaking, intense scratching at the ears, a foul odor, or a dark brown/black discharge resembling coffee grounds.
- Three Alternative Treatment Options: Depending on the specific root cause of the ear irritation, alternative treatments include:
- Topical spot-on solutions (like Selamectin or Fluralaner) that systemically eliminate ear mites without requiring ear canal medication.
- Antifungal/Antibacterial ear drops (such as Surolan or Posatex) if no ear mites are present.
- Gentle antiseptic ear flushes to manage routine wax buildup and minor yeast irritation.
- Three Potential Side Effects: While highly effective, monitor your animal for potential adverse reactions:
- Temporary hearing loss or deafness (particularly in senior pets; usually resolves after stopping treatment).
- Local irritation or increased redness right after application.
- Neurological sensitivity in cats: Rare but possible due to permethrin; immediately stop use and consult your vet if your cat displays stumbling, muscle tremors, or severe lethargy.
- Label Verification: Always verify the expiration date printed on the tube crimp. Keep the applicator tip sterile and wipe it clean after every single use.
