The box says to apply the solution to (and it puts it in bold to emphasize) *un-cleaned* ears. So no need to clean with the ear solution first. Other than that, cool video.
Also I want to add to everyone after treating your cats ears and they get better if the infection comes back. Change your cats food to a more quality food with no grain. Food can be the number one reason why your cat is getting an ear infection. Also age
Hi doctor, I am 70 years old and handicapped, so I don't see so well and live in a assisted living home. So how would you know if it's a yeast infection or ear mites? And will this medication treat both? Also, if it gets in his eyes by accident or he licks his ears is this medication dangerous?
I sherry I'm no expert but my cat had ear mites and the ears looked like it had kind of damp coffee grounds in it. The ear infection has a very dark waxy and dirty look. I get my medication from the tractor supply store near me but you can order it online. Also if your not sure what your cat has you could get ear flush to clean the ears then put ear mites drops in your cats ears after cleaning them. Follow the directions on the bottle I hope this helps best wishes
I see some vets and apparently qualified people be quite rough with animals. I know some countries have different situations, conditions/ facilities, knowledge and adequate medical items but I find some hard to watch.
Exactly! It’s why I am here. This vet even stated this and she cleaned her cat’s ear anyway. If you go to zymox’s website, it states the enzymatic cleaning does much better in a dirty ear. I’m following Zymox’s guidelines. I agree it was helpful seeing this vet show how to apply and for offering the product as an effective one (for some/most).
Is it ok to exceed the 7days? I used the one with 1% hydrocortisone for 7 days. Ears got better. So I stopped after 7 days. But after a few days it's red again. Can I use it again?
Our cat was better than Dante because she knew we feed her a semi-raw chicken heart/liver (1-4 ratio) smoothie!!! Yes, a cat smoothie. We take 4-5 chicken hearts - muscle meat (frozen usually like frozen berries) and a piece of liver - organ meat - size of 1 heart; pour boiling hot kettle water over it in amagic bullet cup and blend till smooth. Pour into her shallow ceramic dish and sometimes micro for 15 sec, stir and serve. She laps the whole thing up and doesnt mind her Zymox treatments because she knows what comes after. We are doing zymox for 14 days. Is that too long? We dont want the gunk to come back. We think she picked it up from outdoor cats as she didnt have it before (now 10 years old) butalso wonder if its a microscopic parasite on all the surfaces she rubs her face/head on?
I know this a late reply but in case it happens again, and if after 7 days of treatment it still is looking or smelling infected please take it to a vet!
Again she doesn’t do a thorough video what about the next day and the next day? You’re just never ever supposed to wipe out the ears with a clean Q-tip or a clean cotton ball I’m gonna have to email the company because this is ridiculous
This is a horrible way to clean a cat's ears. You could easily damage the eardrum, there are plenty of videos available on how to properly clean a cat's ears by legitimate veterinarians.
How can you tell the difference between an ear infection and ear mites?
I did this and after the first day my cat runs from me. What's needed is a jelly that can be packed in that stays in place and kills the infection.
I thought it said NOT to use any other products OR clean ears while using Zymox drops??
The box says to apply the solution to (and it puts it in bold to emphasize) *un-cleaned* ears. So no need to clean with the ear solution first. Other than that, cool video.
It specifically says do not clean ear before.
Dear Dr. Lindsay, thanks for ur videos abt this product.
I would like to ask - can i use zymox 1.0% hydrocortisone for 2 months old kittens ears ?
“ Cleaned “ and “ Infection “ are completely different.
My cats ear looked exactly like your cat! Should I order the exact same bottles and why do you get the one without hydrocortisone?
Also I want to add to everyone after treating your cats ears and they get better if the infection comes back. Change your cats food to a more quality food with no grain. Food can be the number one reason why your cat is getting an ear infection. Also age
Grain-free food is not good for cats because it can cause heart problems. I got this info from my vet!
Would like someone to explain what zymox otic solution to use when? There is a regular one, a plus, .05 cortazone, .1 cortazone, etc.

Take a look at the smear under the microscope

@@EquusKeepusBrokus9791And, HOW does an elderly woman who lives in Asst. lvg. with poor eyesight……DO THIS, PLEASE ?
@@carolcole570 You take it to the vet. There’s no other way to know for sure.
@@EquusKeepusBrokus9791 Correct.

Someone ought to pull those extensions out of her hair just like she did her poor cat
It can be use on cat acne on chin too!!!
Oh Dante is huge 😮
Hi---just wondering if it is necessary to have the Zymox with hydrocortisone. I can only get the one without! Thanks!
Just do what you can with the products that are available the hydrocortisone really helps with itchiness
How many drops??
what a nice video! thank you for your information :) it really helps me out
But the product say No cleaner (symbol) on the bottle).

Aware this is a super late answer but zymox can be used for 1-2 weeks
Then go to the vet
Change the food. The food is where The ear infections begin
Very helpful!
OMG BIG CAT😵 but very pretty like u🎉happy new year's🎉🍸
good cat... my cat is terrible... all vets surrendered to her!
Awe nooo!

@@JenniferOxnard what can a vet do? Antibiotics?
Thankyou that video helps me a lot thank you so much
your welcome! thank you for commenting!
Shit I thought mine had mites ... Now her entire ears are both red as an 🍎 apple.
I did the same thing. Happens
I have a tortie and is supper mean and when i go check her ears she chased me across the street
thats after i check i still check them tho
Omg haha
Tortoise can be INSANE. I had a torture stray once and the vet told me they are crazy LOL
Those products work greatv
They really do!!!
Are earmites a similar appearance to this type of infection ?
almost identical
Why do they get that?
Yeast or mites
this looks exactly like ear mites. how did you know it wasn't without examining the wax under a microscope?
BEAUTIFUL CAT 💜
Thank you!
Do not clean ears first. Its like a septic system. The enzymes need the gook to activate and do its job.

You're a little rough there doc...their ears are really sore....have some empathy
