Vet recommended Otomax which is crazy expensive. Will this Zymox be a good replacement or something else ?

I used to use Otomax. I have a Bassett hound/Beagle and her ears were always getting infected. I have not had to take her in to the vet for an ear infection in almost 18 months. This stuff is great. I use one drop a day in each ear. It says on the bottle not to use any cleaning stuff. I told the vet I use it and he didn't mind. The stuff is great!

I am thrilled that we found Zymox. We had tried so many things, and Zymox relieved our dog's ear problems almost immediately. I definitely recommend it.

We were using otomax (its actually the same price from our vet as the zymox here) 12.99 or 12 something.. its just getting to the dang vet to get it... otomax is good.. and I feel with the results I have gotten from the zymox.. it is extremely comparable. I had originally gotten the zymox because I ran out of my otomax and couldn't get to the vet... it hasn't let me down yet. I thoroughly recommend it.

I have a Golden who has chronic yeast infections in her ears. We had been to the vet's numerous times and each time it was the same thing-antibiotics, steroids, and Otomax. All can have undesirable side effects. I researched Zymox Plus and have been using ever since. In my opinion it works better, without the possible side effects.

It's as good as any vet prescribed med. It contains three milk derived enzymes which (if used according to the directions) will eliminate bacterial, fungal and yeast infections. Good luck!

We were using the prescription otomax but due to expense and continual ear infections switched to zymox . I use it 7 days on as per instructions and then whenever her ears show first sign of infection start it again. Zymox has worked just as well if not better. we also give her probiotics everyday don't miss a day on those especially if its allergies causing the ear problems.

What is great about this product is they don't want you to use it with a cleanser. It works all by itself. And since it is a gel there is no mess and no runny liquid in the dogs ear. My cockers ears ha w never looked better. This really works especially if you do it for about 7 days straight and then once a week or as needed. There is no more buildup no more swelling and no more scratching. This is wonderful and does the job!!

Zymox keeps my bloodhounds ears yeast free and healthy. I use as maintenance once every two weeks.

Stop in at a Petsmart. They usually have a Vet at Banfield and would probably advise you about the product for cats, or you could call Proden directly.

I used the Dasuquin w/MSN, It did not agree with my dog but there were some other issues I have with him. I am now going to try the Dasuquin without MSN. The Nutramax people told me that some dogs do not do well with the MSN. My dog has a sensitive stomach. I think that could have been some of the problem. He also has had Three ACL surgeries in the last six months. I also believe some of the pain meds I had him on also contributed to his problem.

I bought DASUQUIN with msm that's for pain, I got the chewable tablets from Amazon without a vet. A friend of mine got the soft chews from Amazon and said they were hard, then looked at the expiration date and it was almost up so be careful. Mine expired 2018. She had no problem correcting the situation.

My vet recommended the PHYCO-MAX, not just the PHYCO. She is 80lbs and takes two tablets per day. I can't really tell if she is better with the other medicines she takes, but I have always trusted my vet. Sorry that I can't be more help.

I found Clavamox to be the best antibiotic for dogs & cats and heals within seven days. Vibactra seems to be a supplement to help boost naturally your pets immune system.

Keep in mind that non-prescription supplements are medication and we best serve our pets by learning all about them from a licensed veterinarian. Because supplements are not regulated for quality, it is good to talk with a vet when choosing a brand. This is the brand that my family vet sells, so it's probably not poor quality ingredients that made your dog throw up. And your dog's stomach upset may have had nothing to do with this medication. All good reasons to talk to your vet. There is no replacement for the peace of mind that she can provide. That said, my dogs absolutely love this brand and none have experienced adverse reactions.

I have used both Rimadyl and Phycox for many years with my 8 year old female, I would of course consult with your Vet first.

There is a mucinex sinus relief under health products on amazon. This may work better for you. I would try that one.

I agree. This price increase is ridiculous. The front desk at my vet told me the company was bought out. They actually stopped delivering them to market until they could update the packaging. I wonder if the price increase is due to short supply. Whatever the reason, I can't afford double the price.

For ticks, I have used Frontline, Advantix and Seresto and they all seem to work well. For fleas, Seresto has worked the best for my Shin-tzu.

I'm not certain it's okay, put I have been still giving my dog Claritin. I used to give her Claritin and zyrtec (different times of the day) and have been able to cut out the zyrtec. I'm hoping Claritin will be next. Vet's Best doesn't have a prescription type antihistamine in it, so I think it would be fine.

Go to Petco or Petsmart. Petco has a brand that comes in large bags that is popular. I think I prefer the Exquisicat brand myself. A bit more expensive, but it doesn't seem to escape the box as much.

Holy smokes! Let me look it this. Back to you ASAP -- this, as you surely know, could be a matter for your vet. Give me five minutes, please. Meanwhile, please call your vet, who may have resources we customers do not; she or he will probably want to know what kind of batteries you found. -- Dorothy (NOT a professional, BTW -- just another pet mom)

No, do not put it in the ear. It's probably a different problem. You should try Pet King Brand Zymox Otic Enzymatic Solution for Pet Ears, 4 Ounces

Rimadyl is probably proven best. I have switched to Meloxicam. Ask your vet and/or pharmacist. Waaay cheeper but may not be apples to apples.
