Can Aurizon ear drops cause any side effects for my dog?

I've been using Aurizon ear drops for my dog after the vet recommended them to treat an ear issue. Since starting the treatment a few days ago, I've noticed he seems a bit more tired and is scratching at his ears a bit more than usual. I'm worried these could be side effects from the drops. Could this be a reaction to the medication, and should I be concerned or take any specific actions?

Answer

If your dog is experiencing increased tiredness and scratching after starting Aurizon ear drops, it might be related to the treatment, and monitoring is advisable.

  • Increased tiredness or lethargy
  • Enhanced scratching or irritation at the application site
  • Other changes in behavior or appetite

These symptoms could potentially be side effects of the medication, as Aurizon ear drops contain active ingredients that can sometimes cause irritation or discomfort before improvement. It's essential to ensure your dog is not experiencing a more severe reaction or worsening of the condition.

If your dog's symptoms persist or worsen, it's best to consult with a veterinarian. You can book a consultation through Dial A Vet for professional advice tailored to your pet's specific situation.
