Troubleshooting
Pet resists ear drop application.
Approach your pet calmly and gently. Offer treats and praise during and after application. You may need assistance to hold your pet gently but firmly. Consult your vet if resistance is severe.
Ear condition does not improve after several days.
If symptoms persist or worsen after several days of consistent use, or if your pet shows signs of distress (e.g., increased pain, head tilting, lethargy), immediately discontinue use and consult your veterinarian. This could indicate a more serious infection or underlying issue not treatable by Otodex.
Redness or increased irritation after application.
Discontinue use immediately. While rare, some pets may have a sensitivity to ingredients. Contact your veterinarian for advice and an alternative treatment.
Difficulty getting drops into the ear.
Ensure your pet's head is tilted slightly so the ear canal is accessible. A second person can help stabilize the head. Gently pull the ear flap up to straighten the canal for easier application.
