Ear & Eye Medicine for Dogs to Treat Infections

If you suspect your dog has an eye or ear infection, you are not alone. These are the most common ailments your pet may contract. Canines with long floppy ears, those who love to swim or are prone to allergies, are likely to get ear infections. This is because yeast grows in warm moist environments making routine ear cleaning a must.

Bacterial conjunctivitis is another common infection your pup may get. If you notice discharge, redness, or see your canine squinting, rubbing or scratching their eyes, schedule an appointment with their veterinarian. A licensed professional will help you come up with a treatment plan and prescribe the right eye and ear medicine for dogs. Keep reading to learn about the different medications available.

FAQs about Ear & Eye Medicine for Dogs

Your dog's ears can become infected from excessive hair, moisture, or even mites. It is important to give them medicine early on to help remedy the problem before it gets worse. You'll find a bevy of ear medicine at Petco for dogs. Here is a breakdown of each medication and how they treat ear infections:

It is generally safe to give your dog eye drops or ear drops if prescribed by your veterinarian. However, it is important to follow the instructions carefully and ensure that the medication is administered correctly. It is equally important to use the right type of medication for the right condition, as some medications are not suitable for use in ears or eyes. In addition, you should never exceed the dose prescribed by your vet as this could have serious consequences for your pet’s health.

While prescription ear and eye medications for dogs are generally safe and effective, they can cause some side effects. The most common side effects include redness, irritation, and dryness. In more serious cases, adverse reactions such as an allergic reaction may also occur. It’s important to monitor your pet closely after administering these medications and contact your veterinarian if you notice any unusual symptoms or signs of distress.

It hurts to see your canine’s eyes red and swollen. If the cause of their irritation is from a prevalence of pollen, then you'll find dog eye ointments that help reduce itchy or dry oculars. For more serious ailments, you'll find dog eye medicine that helps combat KCS or glaucoma symptoms. Learn more about the prescription dog eye care at Petco and what each medication treats:

Dorzolamide: An eye drop solution that treats glaucoma in dogs and cats. It works by reducing fluid within the eye to decrease pressure in the eyeball.

Vetropolycin: A combination antibiotic containing neomycin, polymyxin B, and bacitracin. It prevents eye infections by killing bacteria in and around the eye. Vetropolycin comes as an easy-to-apply ointment for dogs and cats.
