Do you just put this product in the ear and leave it in or clean it out?

You put it in then massage the area just under the the ear opening and let them shake their heads and wipe the ear just to dry the outside and any really damp areas just inside.

Follow the directions. Have you ever tried to leave it in the ear. You can't. It runs out.

Thanks for asking, Angele.You put a few drops in your dog's ear -- just enough so that you can see it. Then you massage the area under the ear gently for a minute or so. (Most dogs really like this part.) Then you dampen a cotton ball or some gauze with a couple drops more, sort of wrap it around the tip of your finger, and swab out the area your finger reaches.If your dog's ears are REALLY dirty, you might need to do that again. For many (probably most) dogs, great results will be immediate. For others, doing this for 2-3 days will do the trick. After that, just clean your dog's ears regularly, the same way you do with baths and such, and you and your pal will both be delighted.

warm soapy water works pretty good for me, I don't know that I would use alcohol on them, might shorten the life of them!edit: as stated by another person, not much soap is needed. Also, I clean my ears with q-tips daily also, but my ears produce massive amounts of wax for some reason, and I also work long days and keep my earbuds in for 6-12hrs a day. I haven't noticed any degradation in quality of noise cancellation, and have washed my tips at least a couple times already... I'm sure at some point that would be an issue, but I just wash them gently then roll them in a towel lightly squishing them as I roll them so as to help dry them out as quickly as possible... anyways, enjoy! warm soapy water works pretty good for me, I don't know that I would use alcohol on them, might shorten the life of them!edit: as stated by another person, not much soap is needed.

Keep going for a week everyday. Then get a good ear rinse and alternate until https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10154444254845324&substory;_index=0&id;=311781435323all infection is gone. Then I still rinse weekly to prevent any more

You can leave it out. It dissappears quickly if put in the water stream I.e. Shower. I usually rub it in my hands then use my hands to rub it around. Or on a washcloth.

Shake well, apply liberally to uncleaned ear, filling ear canal. Gently massage and work into infected area. Wipe to remove excess. Use once a day for seven days, 14 days for chronic. Safe for extended use on persistent cases. IMPORTANT!- do not clean ears before or during use. Do not use in conjunction with other topical ear medications or cleaners. Do not allow water in or near ear during use, reapply if water gets in here. Do not use on punctured eardrum's. Do not use on pregnant or lactating female cats. This is because the Zymox Plus contains 1% HydroCortizone. Just use regular Zymox if your cat is lactating or pregnant. My cat had an infection for so many years I applied for 14 days even when signs of trouble disappeared. It has not returned. I do reapply for a few days every two or three months just in case. It reintroduces necessary enzymes back into the ear canal that are essential to maintain good ear health. Some people use unpasteurized organic apple cider vinegar. supposed to have the same affect. I trusted all the positive reviews this simple solution received. I could tell by reading from the positive reviews that my cat had some of the same issues. I don't give rave reviews often - this is one of those rare occasions where I cannot say enough. The added bonus? This Zymox cost a fraction of the pharmaceutical medications my veterinarian had been prescribing for years with out positive results. As I said above - it is imperative to follow the instructions carefully in order to get the desired results. Your cat will not enjoy moisture in his ear but he sure will enjoy the lack of irritation, pain and infections from constant scratching and digging. No more shaking heads nor digging then meowing as the cat shoots across the floor:) PS: I forgot to mention that the Hydro Cortizone is for irritation and inflammation due to constant digging. Only safe enzymes actually treat the Otitis.

There are better products for cleaning ears. We use "Tropiclean Ear Cleaner".

The drops are a bit greasy, so I just cleaned my ear with a tissue. I didn't use water to flush it. And after several treatments, I noticed all of a sudden I could hear out of my ear again.

I use peroxide (3%) alone and let soak in ear 20 minutes, then rinse with warm water. I do this once a month to keep ear wax from hardening. Do not put cotton in ears; this will take debrol or peroxide out of ear by capillary action. Lay on side to let solution work for 20 minutes.

Hi you put 1/4 peroxide in the bottle and fill the rest with warm water. You insert the small clear tube into ear Insert it into ear slowly until the stopper is flush against ear. Have the person tilt his/ her head towards the shoulder area and place some type of catch basin under earlobe, as water will be trickling out. Squeeze trigger slowly and adjust as you get the flow of water going. Keep squeezing until the wax begins to come out. I also use 1/2 bottle in one ear and the other half in the opposite ear. At first it may take several times in each ear. It does work. I hope this was helpful!

My vet recommends squeezing the cleanser onto a cotton ball so that it's totally soaked, then putting the cotton ball at the top of the canal, but in just enough so that it makes the squishy noise when you massage the ear. After massaging it for a few minutes, take it out, wipe gunk away, and let your dog shake his head. This is just one way. I've seen another vet squeeze solution directly into the ear until you can see a waterline at the top of the ear canal. Then massage, wipe away, and let shake. My vet just doesn't want to do the latter because he says it's uncomfortable.

I'd spray it on a cotton swab first, so it doesn't run down into the ear canal.

A clean wipe can be used on the plastic band to clean it, that's about it. The ear pads come off so you could (gently) wash them I suppose.

Put warm water into a cup and insert the syringe tip into the cup and pull back on the plunger. When the syringe is full, insert syringe into the ear canal and press the plunger to begin cleaning your ear.

Sometimes even just a small amount of earwax can get in an block the speaker hole. I haven't figured out the best way to clean it out. Last time I dipped the silent earbud carefully into the highest concentration rubbing alcohol I could find, so that the hole that lets the sound out (after you've taken off the silicon tip) was immersed, but no further, so as not to let the liquid touch something electronic. It soaked overnight and I took it out to dry for a while, and the sound was back to normal. Though that worked for me, I don't recommend it unless you're willing to risk destroying the unit.

You need to massage it into your scalp (I do it after I wash my hair, while still wet), leave it for several minutes, and rinse after.

In response to your question concerning ZYMOX OTIC HC 1.0% Enzymatic Solution I used on my Labrador Retriever. Here are the directions as written. Shake before each use. Apply liberally to un-cleaned ear, filling ear canal. Gently massage and work into infected area. Wipe to remove excess. Apply once a day for 7 days, 14 days for chronic infections. DO NOT CLEAN EARS BEFORE OR DURING TREATMENTS. I ordered a 4 fluid ounce bottle to get started and have used approx. 3/4 of it with 1/4 left. As mentioned I have always relied on my vet over the years with the her selling me MOMETAMAX to use at $38.87 for a 15g bottle which never seemed to solve the ear issues that would come and go. After our problem was cleared up I use once a week EPI-OTIC EAR CLEANSER which maintains my dogs inner ears and keeps them nice and clean. At first I was a little skeptical that the product would work as advertised along with other comments posted, but all I can say it sure did. Which has brought much needed relief to my canine daughter and she seems so much happier having no more ear irritation. Hope this comment helps in some way.
