ZYMOX Enzymatic Ear Solution with 0.5-Percent Hydrocortisone, for Dog & Cat, 1.25 oz

THIS STUFF IS AMAZING. My dog had foot surgery and on top of it developed some type of ear infection. When we brought her back to the vet with her foot, they wanted an extra $100 just to LOOK in her ears. I decided to give this a try first and I’m so glad I did. This improvement was from Thursday evening - Sunday morning. It gave her pretty quick relief within 48 hours. Saved us so much money and is healing her just as well, in my opinion. We still have several days of improvement to go but I’m excited about this progress already.

I have two kids, the oldest of which is three, so my poor doggo's ear was really bad off before I noticed a problem. I had heard him scratching and noticed his right ear was drooping more than the other, but I thought it would get better by itself-- what a mistake. One day he came up to me and I was petting his head when I suddenly smelled something horrible. I mean, it smelled like death ate a bad taco after a week of constipation. The smell was, of course, coming from his ear. I flipped his little floppy furball of an ear over and it looked horrible-- a mixture of ear wax, blood, and whatever funky baby they were raising together. It was obvious that I had somehow become a bad owner! Something had to be done. After consulting with a friend that is a vet tech, we were quite certain that an ear infection caused my pupper to scratch his ear so often that he was exacerbating the infection. These drops were recommended to me because they would help kill the infection and stop the ear from itching. When the product arrived, I immediately took my dog out onto the porch to apply the first treatment. I shook the bottle well before using it, which is important-- you want to keep the mixture homogeneous to ensure throughout the life of the product that the same amount of ingredients are dispensed into your best friend's ear. **Please always consult your vet first** My friend recommended a technique to ensure that the solution would be able to do its job to the best of its ability. Hold the tip of your dog's ear and gently pull it up toward the sky while administering the drops to ensure that they enter the ear canal. Don't be afraid to keep using solution until you can see the liquid filling up your dogs ear. Try to prevent your dog from shaking its head (heh, good luck). Once the ear is full, gently massage the bottom base of the ear-- if you're doing it right you should be able to hear a subtle sloshing sound. This ensures that the solution is getting deep down in there where it is needed (check out a youtube vid if you are better with visual tutorials). Let me tell you, the gunk that came out of his ear on that first cleaning... the horror! Flies literally started trying to land on his ear and on the cotton swabs that I was using to help clean it out! I can't believe it had gotten so bad without me noticing, but that night there was no more scratching and even his general mood had improved. I'm on day 7 of the allowable 14 day treatment and his ear is no longer drooping. The wretched smell was gone after the first night. I am still getting small amounts of wax from out his ear, but less each day. Normally I'd wait until the full treatment was up to leave a review like this, but I'm confident that it is doing the trick. He is so much happier and I can already tell that he has forgiven me for the momentary neglect of his ear! The only way I'll give an update is if his ear is not healthy after the 14th day. This is a great product!

Our Puggle, Champ (8 y/o) has had ear issues his entire life. We’ve spent lots of money at the vets including many prescriptions. Some have done an ok job, but nothing ever cleared the issues. I bought this product with low expectations. What could possible work better than high cost vet approved prescriptions? I am happy to report that this product has exceeded my expectations! From just a few hours after the first treatment Champ was not scratching, Digging which included a lot of whining and some bleeding. I thought “OK, it’s the Lidocaine numbing effect. let’s see how the next few days go”. It’s been 8 days since the first treatment - He’s still itching free, his ears don’t smell like fungus and he seems much happier. I will definitely be keep this in our med stock.

My Goldendoodle has ear infections and this product came highly recommended by a breeder. Works very well and has eliminated vet appointments for her ears.

Works! My dog has such bad ears he is a jack!

Pictures speak for their self. I ended up getting the 0.5% and the stronger Zymox 1% plus enzymatic version to have both on hand. I started using the stronger version the first few days because I wasn't sure which one to purchase and use. The first picture was after 1-2 days as the yeast and wax was being broke up and thinned out and was no longer thick. The second picture was around 5 days and the last picture around 6 days. I contacted my vet friend who said to try this zymox but didn't tell me which one to purchase and said if it doesn't work to send the cat in for further treatment. He suspected yeast and wax buildup but there's a small chance of mites or bacteria but we don't know for sure. He told me to use Zymox for 7-14 days and even said it would be safe to use even longer but if I'm not noticing improvement within a week to contact them back. The cats ears looked fully resolved in 6 days but the first few days wax was really running out of his ears as it broke up the thick wax. I used Zymox for 8 days to make sure the issue didn't return. I followed up with Veterinary formula ear cleaner - sold on Amazon. This was recommended by the vet because it had Ketonazole which also treats yeast. I used the ear cleaner twice. It's more runny and liquidy compared to zymox which is more like an oily substance. My kitten preferred zymox to the ear cleaner. The pictures are the result. The vet told me if I suspected mites that I should use Zymox for one week on and one week off for a solid month (alternating weeks) because mite eggs hatch and it can be hard get rid of all the mites. There's other OTC meds specifically for mites but not knowing for sure if the cats had mites, I was told not to use those products. Zymox smothers the mites because of the thickness. He said it should work but if it doesn't I can purchase Revolution plus through Canadian Vet online shipped to the US and save a vet fee because revolution plus treats mites and fleas/ ticks/ worms. I'm very thankful that he gave me this tip because finances are hard being out of work as I work in healthcare and worrying about my pets health. It's been a week so far and his ears still look really clean. Try it!

Works fantastic for my dog always in the weeds and bushes. Clears up the itch i his ear. Best product been buying for over 5 years and referred to all my family and friends. CANT GO WRONG WORKS IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!!! Buy buy buy y’all👍🏽❤️❤️❤️

An ear drop used for our dog when his ears get red and stinky. Water can get trapped inside ears, and this solution has worked fast. Gives pet relief. Great value and fast shipping.

Does a really good job of loosening the wax from the dog’s ears…use when outdoors and run before the head shake or be prepared 😬

Always work well on my dog. Have bought it regularly.

I was desperate to get my dogs itchy ear fixed. It had lasted months & no matter how many vet visits I attended & drained my bank account, nothing they gave me worked. I tried this & the itchiness stopped overnight. I am so thankful I found this as a last resort effort to help my little fur baby. Would definitely purchase again.

i have only used it for 2 days and my maremma x husky's ear is looking much better. :)

This product works where many other do not. Sorts out dogs itchy ears almost immediately. Highly recommend!
