Vetericyn Triple Action Ear Treatment Relief, 1.5 oz
Vetericyn Triple-Action Ear Treatment for Dogs and Cats
For dogs and cats.
Product Description
Vetericyn Triple-Action Ear Treatment is a seven-day ear treatment for removing debris and relieving the itch, redness, and swelling that come with otitis externa, the outer ear irritation sometimes called swimmer's ear.
Three things are working at once. Hydrocortisone 1% brings down the itching and inflammation, which is the part your pet feels immediately. The Otizyme enzymatic blend breaks down and flushes the buildup that keeps an irritated ear from settling. And the Botaniplex botanical extracts support the ear's natural microbiome and sebum balance.
The flexible spout makes it easy to get the solution where it needs to go rather than just around the opening, and one bottle covers a full seven-day course for a single dog or cat.
Ingredients
Active: Hydrocortisone 1.00% (anti-itch)
Inactive: Water, glycerin, propylene glycol, hydroxypropyl cellulose, lysozyme, chrysanthemum indicum flower extract, phellodendron chinense bark extract, benzoic acid, benzyl alcohol, dehydroacetic acid, sorbic acid.
How to Use
Shake the bottle before use. Fill the ear canal with the product and gently massage the base of the ear, letting the solution stay in the canal as long as possible. Wipe away the excess.
Head shaking afterward is normal and expected. Massaging during application helps keep more of the solution in place.
Repeat once daily for seven days. Consult your veterinarian before using it longer than that.
Do not use cotton swabs to apply it. Filling the canal works far better and swabs push debris deeper.
Keep water out of the ears during treatment, including baths and swimming.
Cautions
For animal use only. Avoid contact with eyes.
Do not use on a ruptured eardrum, or if you're unsure whether the eardrum is intact. Do not use alongside other ear solutions.
This product does not treat ear mites.
Extended use of hydrocortisone can soften tissue over time, including the eardrum itself, so don't run it beyond seven days without veterinary direction. For newborn animals, check with your veterinarian first.
Keep out of reach of children. If swallowed, get medical help or contact a poison control center.
Talk to your veterinarian
Ear infections need a diagnosis. Bacteria, yeast, and ear mites all look similar from the outside and are treated differently, and an over-the-counter product with a steroid can quiet the symptoms while the underlying infection continues.
See your veterinarian if the ear worsens or fails to improve over the seven days, if there's significant discharge, a strong odor, bleeding, or heat and swelling, or if your pet is head-tilting, off balance, or clearly in pain. Recurring ear infections in a dog are usually a symptom of allergies, and treating the ear alone will never break that cycle.
