Hi there! It's perfectly normal to have questions about your dog's medication. Posatex is often prescribed for ear infections in dogs, and it can be quite effective. While using it, keep an eye out for irritation or discomfort, such as redness, swelling, or excessive itching in their ear. Mild symptoms can often subside on their own, but if your pup seems very uncomfortable or shows signs of an allergic reaction like swelling around the face or difficulty breathing, that's a time to call the vet right away.
Applying medication to a squirmy pup can be tricky. Try to use a calm, soothing voice and perhaps have someone help hold your dog while you gently apply the drops. Rewards with a treat afterward can help make future applications a bit easier!
No major toxicity concerns with Posatex, but make sure only the prescribed amount goes into your dog's ear, and avoid any other ear treatments unless your vet advises. If some seems to have been ingested, and your dog shows symptoms like drooling or vomiting, contacting the vet would be wise.
For mild discomfort, you can simply monitor your dog's reaction very closely. But in any situation where you notice a rapid decline or extreme discomfort, don't hesitate to get in touch with the vet as soon as possible.
If you're unsure or your pet’s symptoms worsen, it's best to book a call with a vet on Dial A Vet for professional advice.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
