Dogs, Ear Infections, and Medications


Wanted to do a quick post about this while it is on my mind...

Our poodle is prone to ear infections. So over the years we have used some different medications. A couple of them had disturbing results.

Granted – our little guy seems to have unusual reactions to things – like vaccines. And he has more than his share of ailments. And he’s old. But I thought some warnings were in order.

Mometomax – caused temporary deafness that lasted approximately two weeks to a month in duration.

Posatex – made him permanently deaf.

Because of our experience, I would recommend avoiding Posatex if at all possible.

Just thought I'd put this info out there so others could benefit.
