ZYMOX Enzymatic Ear Solution with 0.5-Percent Hydrocortisone

My little yorkie had been scratching her ear raw. The itch would keep her and me up all night. The pain of scratching would cause her to cry. Upon receiving the product, I applied it every day morning and evening. After the first day she stopped scratching. By the third day the irritation had cleared. By the fifth day the scabs were almost healed. Finally, by the seventh day her was completely healed. Both my yorkie and I are very pleased. The product is great. Buy it. It Works!

This product was recommended to us by a veterinarian assistant. Perfect for hound ears. Keeps the smell and itchy down. Our bluetick had a severe ear infection that had to be taken care of at the vets. Regular use of this product had been a esr saver for her. Highly recommend.

Nice and efficient ear relief and skin irritation, good bottle size and scent cleaning and duration .

I have two kids, the oldest of which is three, so my poor doggo's ear was really bad off before I noticed a problem. I had heard him scratching and noticed his right ear was drooping more than the other, but I thought it would get better by itself-- what a mistake. One day he came up to me and I was petting his head when I suddenly smelled something horrible. I mean, it smelled like death ate a bad taco after a week of constipation. The smell was, of course, coming from his ear. I flipped his little floppy furball of an ear over and it looked horrible-- a mixture of ear wax, blood, and whatever funky baby they were raising together. It was obvious that I had somehow become a bad owner! Something had to be done. After consulting with a friend that is a vet tech, we were quite certain that an ear infection caused my pupper to scratch his ear so often that he was exacerbating the infection. These drops were recommended to me because they would help kill the infection and stop the ear from itching. When the product arrived, I immediately took my dog out onto the porch to apply the first treatment. I shook the bottle well before using it, which is important-- you want to keep the mixture homogeneous to ensure throughout the life of the product that the same amount of ingredients are dispensed into your best friend's ear. **Please always consult your vet first** My friend recommended a technique to ensure that the solution would be able to do its job to the best of its ability. Hold the tip of your dog's ear and gently pull it up toward the sky while administering the drops to ensure that they enter the ear canal. Don't be afraid to keep using solution until you can see the liquid filling up your dogs ear. Try to prevent your dog from shaking its head (heh, good luck). Once the ear is full, gently massage the bottom base of the ear-- if you're doing it right you should be able to hear a subtle sloshing sound. This ensures that the solution is getting deep down in there where it is needed (check out a youtube vid if you are better with visual tutorials). Let me tell you, the gunk that came out of his ear on that first cleaning... the horror! Flies literally started trying to land on his ear and on the cotton swabs that I was using to help clean it out! I can't believe it had gotten so bad without me noticing, but that night there was no more scratching and even his general mood had improved. I'm on day 7 of the allowable 14 day treatment and his ear is no longer drooping. The wretched smell was gone after the first night. I am still getting small amounts of wax from out his ear, but less each day. Normally I'd wait until the full treatment was up to leave a review like this, but I'm confident that it is doing the trick. He is so much happier and I can already tell that he has forgiven me for the momentary neglect of his ear! The only way I'll give an update is if his ear is not healthy after the 14th day. This is a great product!

Used a few times on my dogs to help keep ears clean and help with infections. They seem to be effective and would recommend them. The dogs don’t enjoy it but it’s tolerable. They have a slight scent but nothing too bad.

Pictures speak for their self. I ended up getting the 0.5% and the stronger Zymox 1% plus enzymatic version to have both on hand. I started using the stronger version the first few days because I wasn't sure which one to purchase and use. The first picture was after 1-2 days as the yeast and wax was being broke up and thinned out and was no longer thick. The second picture was around 5 days and the last picture around 6 days. I contacted my vet friend who said to try this zymox but didn't tell me which one to purchase and said if it doesn't work to send the cat in for further treatment. He suspected yeast and wax buildup but there's a small chance of mites or bacteria but we don't know for sure. He told me to use Zymox for 7-14 days and even said it would be safe to use even longer but if I'm not noticing improvement within a week to contact them back. The cats ears looked fully resolved in 6 days but the first few days wax was really running out of his ears as it broke up the thick wax. I used Zymox for 8 days to make sure the issue didn't return. I followed up with Veterinary formula ear cleaner - sold on Amazon. This was recommended by the vet because it had Ketonazole which also treats yeast. I used the ear cleaner twice. It's more runny and liquidy compared to zymox which is more like an oily substance. My kitten preferred zymox to the ear cleaner. The pictures are the result. The vet told me if I suspected mites that I should use Zymox for one week on and one week off for a solid month (alternating weeks) because mite eggs hatch and it can be hard get rid of all the mites. There's other OTC meds specifically for mites but not knowing for sure if the cats had mites, I was told not to use those products. Zymox smothers the mites because of the thickness. He said it should work but if it doesn't I can purchase Revolution plus through Canadian Vet online shipped to the US and save a vet fee because revolution plus treats mites and fleas/ ticks/ worms. I'm very thankful that he gave me this tip because finances are hard being out of work as I work in healthcare and worrying about my pets health. It's been a week so far and his ears still look really clean. Try it!

I was sure I would have to take her to the vet. Shaking her head and scratching at her ear was a good sign. I’m so glad I found this product. After the first dose, I could tell she was feeling better. Application was easy because it’s not watery. Comes out as a loose gel. I applied about three squirts, and then I gently massaged the bottom of her ear and the sides of her face. She loved that. It’s only day five and she’s showing no signs of an ear infection, but I will still finish out two day seven.

I reminisce back to when I was single and had tons of cash to throw around at things. A fancy new sports car, a rental home inside of the DC loop, and my sidekick in life, Mr. Pancho the Yorkie. Man were my 20's a fun time! Welp, as life has it, I'm over 30. Traded the sports car for a crossover SUV. Moved to the country in Texas and have a wonderful princess with my hubby. Life is great! Except, Mr. Pancho is getting old in age. It makes me sad. Really sad. I wish I could invent something to keep him young and puppy like forever. I guess prepping me for his departure is the most depressing thing lately. He's old. I mean, we all get old. But he's my bud. The one who got me through bad boyfriend number 1 through 8. Saw me through many tears and laughs and also had some pretty great adventures with me. I would do anything for this guy. I recently had his ACL and CCL repaired back in 2014. Man, was that scary. I thought it prepped me for having a sick kid at night. Yeah, about the same sort of stress. Not as intense, but pretty close. Dropping several thousand dollars for that one doctors visit was what I did to get things done for him. Didn't think twice about it. Well, he's 8 now. 8... I have to let that sink in a little. 8 is a long time in some dog breed's lifespan. That's like 50 human. Anyone that has a furry, small breed knows that they are impossible to keep their ears kept 100% clean. I mean, I trim and trim and trim his ear hair down and it always seems that the hair covers his ears up as fast I as cut it back. I feel like he's one of those play-do dogs that you push down on the play-do and it comes out looking like the dogs hair. It grows that quickly. With the overabundance of hair, these breeds are known for constant ear infections and allergies. I mean, if I were that furry, I would probably have supercuts on speedial once a week just to get a trim. But alas, Mr. Pancho cannot make calls since the last time he made a call to his baby-momma and got us all in trouble with the laws. So, for the unteenth time, he's rubbing and rubbing and rubbing his ears on the carpet. "No, stop rubbing Pancho, you will get your ears all messed up, again. Mommy cannot keep taking you to the vet and forking over $350 for your ears. STOP RUBBING!". That was our last argument before he was sent to timeout. At my wits end, I got onto Amazon to find something for temporary relief until he could get to the vet on Monday. It was Friday afternoon and we were not about to pay the extra $200 service fee for after hours or a Saturday appointment. Nope! I knew what this was and it was not something that we were going to spend that sort of money for a quick... "Yup, it's an ear infection, again. Here's your antibiotic and your bill". I'm so tired of this line... Medication and the same, reoccurring issue. Started treatment on Saturday night. His ears were the typical clogged, dark mess they are when he's having one of his fits. Then Sunday was treatment number 2. The dark skin was fading and his ears were clearing up in the middle. Not much of the wax was in there. Monday rolls around and treatment number 3 went into his ears. By this time, he knows what I mean by "Lets get a treat" so he runs to his back room to hide from me. Pancho does not like anything that is medicine related or clothing related. He hates clothes. To the point where he will laydown and not move for an entire day other than to eat, drink and poop on mommy's rug. Treatment number 4 rolls around on Tuesday and WOW! Ears are pink and I can see down his ears in the canal. Wednesday hits and I'm thinking to myself... this stuff is too good to be true. I look in his ears and pinker ears than when he was a puppy. I mean, this stuff is a miracle. We roll around to treatment 6 on Thursday and I am amazed at how clean his ears are at this point. Tonight is our last treatment, but I can say, I am fully confident that his ears will be as good as new. In summary: I love Mr. Pancho. Vote for him this presidential election. He's the only one that will win on a cuteness factor! Oh, and Zymox has saved me the stress of spending over $500 for a weekend vet visit. This stuff is a wonder solution. Truly! He did not build an immunity to this stuff, which is so important for those that have pets with chronic ear infections.

This helped my dog almost immediately, the vet could find nothing wrong with her ear when they tested it but she kept scratching so I used this and she has stopped scratching her ear

Works!

My dog is very prone to ear infections and a rip to the vet costs me between $140 and $200 every time and even sometimes a return trip to the vet, this worked in 4 days. I will be making sure to have this on hand from now

i have only used it for 2 days and my maremma x husky's ear is looking much better. :)

Does a really good job of loosening the wax from the dog’s ears…use when outdoors and run before the head shake or be prepared 😬
