In reply to Katie. Hi Katie. I’m sorry, I just can’t say without knowing the condition of the inside of the canal. Everything can do harm if used in the wrong ear.

Is it ok to use trizultra+ keto on a clean rag to wipe the ear? My 3 year old pup has required sedation for every ear infection he’s had and will not tolerate the flush (nor can we do it because it seems to be so hard on him) but will let me hold it as a compress. Appointment is booked, just trying to help my boy in the meantime!

In reply to Michelle Raymond. Hi Michelle. You might hopefully benefit from looking at some of the other pages you will access from links here. Particularly, you are following the very low yield path of trying dietary manipulation, which seldom works. Most of these dogs need systemic treatment for their atopic dermatitis as well as very rigourous control of the ear infections. Obviously, with an anxious dog that is extremely difficult to ever do well but the development of Neptra has made it a lot easier. If an infection is only 99% fixed, it is as good as not fixed at all and will keep recurring. The current situation of a haematoma usually needs surgical repair which is a good place to start.

Hi there, We have a near 6 year old red kelpie who has continual ear problems. She is a very anxious dog when going to the Vet! We have to drug & muzzle her! She’s had anaesthesia & underwent an ear flush & was treated with antibiotics in 23/1/23.. Within a few weeks, she was back to ear infections. We’ve tried changing her diet to Hills Science Derm Care & stopped her steamed chicken. In May she had more antibiotics! She now has a haematoma from scratching too much & her ear is weighted down -flopping over from this. PLEASE HELP!

In reply to Sharon Cresdee. Hi Sharon. These two treatments are not available in Australia, but I swear by Epi-Otic as a first-line prevention of yeast infections, such as are very common in the Dachshund. I think it’s sensible to start simple; you can always ask your vets about the other options if things are not going to plan.

My mini dachshund has had treatment at the vet osurnia gel inserted over 2 weeks. He has advised using Epiotic after 7 days. My girlfriend suggested Zymox which is more expensive and a dachshund member suggesed Triz ultra plus keto which is even more expensive. Wondering if that is over kill any advice would be great

I have a cockerpoo, & when her ears get dirty/grimey I dip a cotton bud in Bio oil to clean & wipe with a soft cloth/ tissue. If there was any redness, it goes away. She’s 6.5yrs & so far no ear infections.
