Canaural Ear Products for Dogs
Dogs are often the victim of ear infections. Their ear canals are dark and warm, the perfect place for bacteria, yeast and moisture to take hold. Your pet’s veterinarian will prescribe ear drops to treat the mites, and fight the infections and inflammations. The prescription recommended by the majority of veterinarians is Canaural Ear Drops.
Your pet will let you know when an infection has set in. When your dog starts pawing and scratching at his ears, shaking his head, its time to check his ears. Look at the condition of the inner ear. It might be red and swollen. There’s usually a yeasty smell coming from the ear. You’ll often find debris along with a visible buildup of wax. If you notice any of these symptoms, take your dog to the vet and have him take a look.
Canaural Ear Drops are the antibiotic ear drops most often used for dogs. It’s a product that combines five products and is used to treat certain susceptible ear infections. Diethanolamine fusidate and framycetin sulphate are antibiotics. Nystatin is an anti-fungal that inhibits yeast and fungi growth. Prednisolone is an anti-inflammatory corticosteroid which reduces itching and irritation. These active ingredients are mixed in light yellow colored oil that both softens the earwax and helps the medicine to flow down into the ear canal.
When applying Canaural you need to first clean the ear, removing any dirt or drainage. Shake the bottle before use. The amount of drops needed will be determined by the vet based on the size of your pet. You’ll need to hold the dog and try to prevent him from shaking his head. Place several drops in the ear canal and gently massaged the ear to help the drops flow down. The medicine is usually applied twice a day for a minimum of seven days.
Be careful when administrating the ear drops. Damage can occur if you accidentally get any in your dog’s eyes. Immediately use water to flush out the eyes and contact your veterinarian right away. As with any medicine, keep the Canaural drops out of the reach of children.
