Ear disease in pets is not uncommon. The causes may be different, but the symptoms are similar in all cases. The animal shakes its ears, worries, cannot lie in one place for a long time. In severe cases, begins to moan at night. With various complications, pus may begin to stand out from the ear. Drops of "Surolan" have appeared in pharmacies for quite a long time. Reviews about them allow us to judge that this is one of the best remedies from the series of "seven troubles - one answer."

Externally, the drug is a homogeneous opaque white suspension. The trade name is "Surolan". It is produced packaged in 15 and 30 ml in glass or polymer bottles of the appropriate capacity, sealed with dropper caps. Each bottle is placed in a separate box along with instructions for use.

• Ear mites.

• And the third component is prednisolone acetate, which relieves itching and inflammation.

Pharmacological properties

This drug is classified as low-risk. When used in the recommended doses, it is well tolerated even by puppies and debilitated animals, which is also emphasized by the reviews. "Surolan" is usedexternally, so the absorption of the drug inside practically does not occur. It effectively heals damaged tissues and reduces itching. The absorption of the drug occurs through the skin, and it is excreted in the urine and feces.

How to use, instructions

Ear drops "Surolan", reviews of which confirm their exceptional effectiveness in a number of diseases, are now sold in almost every veterinary pharmacy. The drug is prescribed in the treatment of chronic and acute otitis, as well as skin diseases: abscesses, pyodermatitis, infected wounds, dermatophytosis, dermatitis.

Despite the effectiveness of the remedy and a wide range of indications, there are contraindications. They need to be taken into account, so it is advisable to show the animal to a veterinarian. Individual intolerance to some components, as well as problems with the eardrum, can be considered a complete contraindication.

What does the instructions say about the use of the drug?

• First of all, you need to clean the ear canal from wax. To do this, use a cotton swab or disk. They can be slightly moistened with a special lotion or boiled water. Do not use alcohol for this purpose. It is precisely because of non-compliance with this rule that negative reviews most often appear. Drops of "Surolan" fall into a dirty auricle, sometimes filled not only with sulfur, but also with pus. Of course, their effect will be minimal. Several days pass, and the dog continues to suffer. And the owner decides to change the drug, but it was necessary just to do it rightuse.
• After preparation, three drops of the medicinal solution should be dripped into the sore ear.
• After that, gently massage the auricle to evenly distribute the drug.

Duration of use

Another important question: how quickly do Surolan dog ear drops help? Owner reviews suggest that relief comes within a few hours, the animal calmly falls asleep. Now it is very important not to give up treatment halfway through. Despite the relief of the pet's condition, the medicine has not yet fully completed its task.

Use the remedy twice a day, for two or three days. If your dog does not feel better after this, contact your veterinarian immediately. Perhaps the disease turned out to be more serious than you thought. If the inflammation has passed to the inner ear, then special therapy is indispensable. The doctor must select antibiotics and auxiliary drugs. The maximum duration of treatment is 14 days. For ear scabies, the same scheme applies.

For skin diseases

It should be noted that there are a huge number of such ailments, so only the attending physician should deal with the diagnosis. Therefore, it is recommended that you first bring your pet to the veterinarian's office. For example, if a subcutaneous mite is found, then a different treatment will be required.

If a fungal or bacterial infection is diagnosed, then you can safely use eardrops "Surolan". Reviews confirm that after a few days the wounds begin to dry out. Before using the drug, it is necessary to clean the surface of pus and other contaminants, remove hair. At the same time, animals should not be allowed to lick the drug.

You need to treat the surface once or twice a day. The course of treatment depends on the complexity of the disease and is determined by the veterinarian. But it should not exceed three weeks. If at the same time symptoms of an overdose have not been identified, you can safely use a reasonable amount of this remedy. If the treatment was missed, then you need to resume the course as soon as possible.

Possible side effects

Unfortunately, they also sometimes occur:

• If you notice that the animal does not respond to your words, partial hearing loss in the pet is possible. This is a reversible phenomenon, disappears after the end of the drug within two days.
• The second option is the development of an allergic reaction. Unfortunately, such cases also record the reviews of the owners. "Surolan" is a combination drug, so it is difficult to say exactly how one or another component will affect your pet's body. Therefore, the first time we apply or instill a minimum amount and observe for 2-3 hours. If everything is fine, we continue the treatment according to the usual scheme. In case of an allergic reaction (swelling, shortness of breath, rash), an antihistamine should be given.

Terms of Use
