Otoflush – Dermcare – 125ml

Ear infections are common in dogs. The dog’s ear canal is long, relatively narrow and deep. Some breeds also have floppy ears and/or ears with lots of hair. These factors combined make the dog’s ear much more susceptible to ear infections than human ears.

Normally dogs have low numbers of resident bacteria and yeasts on their skin (including ears).

Any factor which alters the normal environment in the dog’s ear can trigger the natural residents to get out of control. The most common factor is allergy. The ear becomes inflamed and humidity inside the canal increases, which forms a nice moist environment for these residents to take advantage and cause infection.

Important factors in controlling repeat infections include:

• Ensuring previous infection is resolved and the ear canal is clean
• Controlling the inflammation
• Ensuring resident bacteria and yeasts are kept at managable levels

Dosage & Administration:

• Remove the cap of the flush nozzle.
• Insert the nozzle just into the ear canal opening and squeeze to fill the ear canal (approx 0.5mL for small breeds or 1.5mL for larger breeds).
• Gently massage the ear then allow the dog to shake its head to remove debris and excess Otoflush® liquid from the ear.
• Repeat this process until the Otoflush® liquid coming out of the ear is clean.
• Wipe off any debris and excess liquid from the ear and ear opening.
• Remove any adherent ear exudate from the flush nozzle before replacing the cap.
• For routine ear cleaning repeat this procedure once weekly only.
• For use in conjunction with an antibiotic ear treatment, use as directed by your veterinarian.
