To help your dog heal from an ear infection, it's essential to apply Posatex as instructed by your vet, typically once daily. Monitor your dog's symptoms to ensure the treatment is working effectively.
- Visible improvement in inflammation or discharge
- Reduced signs of discomfort, such as scratching or head shaking
- Any adverse reaction like redness, swelling, or increased ear discharge
These observations help gauge if Posatex is effective or if further veterinary advice is needed. It's crucial to complete the full course of medication even if symptoms improve, to prevent recurrence of the infection.
If you have concerns or notice adverse reactions, it's best to seek veterinary advice promptly. For further assistance, book a vet consultation with us.
