Treating Dog Ear Hematoma At Home For Sale (2024 Update)

Our beautiful husky was stricken with allergies this past summer. His entire face was ladden with marks and open sores and as a result he would tend to scratch and irritate it even more. We went to our vet who did an allergy test and after receiving the results which listed 10+ ailments, we were at a loss as to what to do. After given severals medication, which weren't effective, my husband and I decided to see an allergy specialist. She gave us Otomax and from day one, the product proved effective. Not only did the spots on our dogs' healed nicely, he is almost back to his handsome self. I would most definitely recommedn this product.

I have an 8 year old French Bulldog, and as any owner will tell you, they have serious allergy issues. Poor Harley was born deaf (gotta love puppy mills), but 2 or 3 years ago, my vet, whom I've trusted with numerous pets over the years, recommended Otomax for Harley. He was digging his ears to the point they'd bleed on the backside, and there was this "goo" that I discovered upon cleaning his ears. After 2 applications of Otomax, the goo was gone, and he showed marked improvement. The reviews I've read here have me questioning if hearing loss in the beloved pets IS from not catching it earlier, or something of that nature. My experience with the product has been ONLY positive, and I would recommend it to any pet parent.

Mometamax product review: Given how common ear infections are in every day veterinary practice, and how difficult it is for some clients to medicate their pets ears twice to three times daily with prescribed topical medications, I was so excited when this wonderful product came out a few years ago with ONCE daily topical dosing. While many veterinarians do expensive evaluations of ear discharges under the microscope or ear cultures sent to outside labs, I would first ask your vet to prescribe one of the broadest acting topical antimicrobials on the market in Mometamax, before subjecting you to expensive superfluous tests, which may not be needed at least initially. . The truth of the matter is that most ear infections in dogs or cats are due to overgrowth of yeast and/or bacteria often together in inflamed ear canals. The vast majority of these infections are often accompanied by redness, swelling, heat and discharge, which are all signs of inflammation or allergies. These latter conditions are why it is so important to have an effective anti inflammatory like mometasone, as part of a topical ear medication in our pets. Because yeast overgrowth are so prevalent as well in such problem ears, the anti fungal clotrimazole is also often needed. And as I mention above, where many dogs have mixed populations of bacterial overgrowth in inflamed ears, including frustrating bacteria like pseudomonas, I find it also important to include the wonderful topical antibiotic gentamycin in such a combination product. It is because of this wonderful trio of main ingredients that make mometamax such an indispensable product to general veterinary practice, as well as make it my first line of prescription topical antimicrobial medicines that I will reach for, before doing extensive and expensive tests on inflamed/infected ears. I find the vast majority of ear infections will respond to a 10-21 day course of this medicine, often making these additional tests un necessary. Clients should also know that most, if not all of the prescription topical antimicrobials currently on the veterinary market are combination products like this, but none have the spectrum of coverage that mometamax has. When used with a wonderful ear cleaning agent first like 1800petmeds ear cleansing solution, pet suffering from these painful ear conditions is often quickly relieved. There are very few disadvantages to using this product. On rare occasions pets can have allergic reactions particularly to the topical gentacin in this product where hearing loss can occur temporarily or even more rare permanently. . However this is EXTREMELY rare in my experience, and one must also keep in mind that there can be very rare reactions with any medication whether prescription conventional drugs or natural ones. It is always critical to make sure your veterinarian has evaluated the ear drum(known as the tympanic membrane) before prescribing this product, as a ruptured ear drum can make pets more prone to topical or less common systemic reactions. Unless there is a ruptured ear drum, or the product is used for months at a time, I dont find systemic reactions to the rest of the body much of a problem in my years of using this product. Of course if the ear problem persists or relapses, a full medical workup for underlying or complicating factors should be done by your veterinarian, including an allergy workup, thyroid testing and/or culture or evaluation of the ear discharge under the microscope, in addition to possibly sedation of your pet and ear flushing and x rays of the skull to evaluate the middle/inner ears to evaluate whether surgical drainage might be helpful. I highly recommend and often prescribe mometamax as a first line drug of choice for many ear infections/inflammations. My overall rating of this product is an enthusiastic 5. Its ease of use is a 5 as well.

This product is one of the best on the market. I have a black lab that has had ear problems since she was a pup. Drug after drug, test after test, steroid after steroid,(over $3,000 worth) finally this product was introduced to me by a Gun Dog Trainer who deals with infected labs ears all the time and I will tell you that after a week of treatment my dogs ears cleared right up. With her allergies and her constant need to find water and swim she gets ear infections 3-6 times a year and after cleaning and use of this product infections are gone. I would personally recommend this product to any one who has ear infection issues with there dog. Do not read the reviews that this product can make your dog deaf these are people who don’t know how to talk to there vet or even read the drug information provide in the box. It has been said that Gentamycin, the antibiotic in Mometamax, can cause temporary deafness. Temporary is the key word here. Some dogs have a genetic susceptibility to ototoxicity from Gentamycin. With the withdrawal of the antibiotic, the situation will reverse. This is caused by inflammation in the cochlea. This is like any other drug on the market there are so adverse side effects to few but not the vast majority so as always make sure you consult with your vet before you use any medication on your pets. Would you take high blood pressure medication with out asking your Dr ? In the end this has been a life save for my dog and myself and with out this product there would be a never ending battle to get rid of my dogs infected ears. Mometamx is a great product and if your dog has infected but with anything ask your vet.

Works extremely well!! My 4 mo/old golden retriever started getting dirty ears from swimming and playing in the backyard, but nothing was working or I had to clean her ears every few days. After using this stuff her ears stayed clean for over a week before I had to clean them again. It’s been over a few weeks since I got this and her ears are very clean still! 10/10 recommend!

Sorry not a review but a question. Sounds like this works well but I have a horrible time keeping my Shepard from licking his wounds. Even when I cover them he trys to get the bandage off to get at them. It says this provides some pain relief, so I'm hoping that will discourage the licking. Does anyone know if this product is safe if the dog licks it? Has anyone's pet gotten sick?

I adopted my boy Rex from a neighbor who lived down the block from me. Rex was being sent to the pound, he had ear infections from a puppy, he was 5 years old when I adopted him. After 7 months of trying to heal this pup, I found Zymox Otic with hydrocortisone. 4 (Four) days later I saw the yeast dying and my Rex was comfortable for the first time in his life! No more shaking of his head, no more pain…Rex is doing very well, he's happy and healthy. I keep this product on hand at all times and when I see that Rex has any irritation at all inside his ears, Zymox is what I use. Thank you for a FANYASTIC PRODUCT.

No noticeable improvement or relief from itching for our dog but may need more time in order f9rthe pwder tobuildup and become effective.
