re: If you have a pet with ear infection or smelly ears, you need to buy this NOW...

What's the name of it. I'm not clicking the link.

We have prescribed many dozens of bottles of this product at our hospital. Results were mixed but most times Zymox, with and without Hydrocortisone. was not as effective as case specific products and we have mostly discontinued prescribing it. Believe me, we want those ears cleared up as much as you do. Frustrating problem. And PS for all you jerks insinuating our greediness, our price was $18.00 (1 cent more expensive than Amazon and you didn't have to pay shipping, even if you didn't order $35 worth.) Glad it worked for your dog.

Tea tree oil works better /thread

You are obviously a vet...don't want to upset you. We have tried so many different prescription ointments with minimal, short term success. This is the very first thing that has even come close to anything prescription strength. It works! I am just so happy I can get it without having to pay a vet fee, culture fee, etc.

Follow up is to make sure the product you are using is working. If it clears it up but the problem returns, the medication is working but the underlying problem, usually allergies, allows it to return. If it isn't completely clearing it up the first time, a different produce is indicated. The choice of medicines is dependent on what is causing this infection, mites,yeast, bacteria, (Many to choose from and different antibiotic susceptibilities.) Plus, after one is cleared the next infection may be a completely different bacteria with a different antibiotic required to kill it. Sorry it isn't as straightforward and simple as it seems like it should be. Again, allergies are the most common underlying problem and you know that you can't treat your own allergy one time and be forever done.

Not at all upset. We understand the frustration. Frustrates us also.

We had the same exact issue with one of my labs. Had to go to the vet every 3 months. Ordered that stuff on Amazon almost a year ago and haven't had any issues since. Stuff really works.

Awesome post. Our cocker spaniel has had this problem for awhile now. We will give it a try

Man, don't let these guys mess with you. I, for one, really appreciate this info. Just took mine in two weeks ago and got a couple hundred dollar bill for a quick test and a squirt of some long acting antibiotic liquid in her ears at Sherwood South. Vet bills have gotten so ridiculous. They are truly taking advantage of pet owners....i am ordering this now. Has been a long term problem for my lab mix.

Used to have a dog who got an ear infection every spring.
