My vet gave my cat dog ear drops. Is Mometamax safe for cats?

EasOtic is often prescribed for extra-label (https://www.google.com/amp/s/mobile.petcoach.co/amp/article/veterinarians-allowed-to-prescribe-extra-label-drugs) use in cats. It is commonly used to treat both bacterial and yeast ear infections. If you have concerns, I would give your vet a call just to confirm the dosage, but I have commonly prescribed this medication for my cat patients. I hope that Ruffy is feeling better soon!

Mometamax is for the ears. If your do has an allergic dermatitis then he may need an oral antibiotic, anti-histamine, corticosteroid, and/or other medications to help clear up the skin issue. You could also bathe him with a medicated dog shampoo and see if that helps his skin.

Many drugs can be used off-label and I recommend to call your veterinarian and discuss your concerns. Your vet will be able to explain their treatment decisions. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Hello. No, this is not meant to be used in the eyes of your cat unless your veterinarian has specifically told you to do so. Do not put anything in your cat's eye unless it was prescribed by your veterinarian. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Gentamycin is a common ingredient in ear medications. There is a small risk of damaging the hearing, especially if the ear drum is not intact. When I diagnose an ear infection in a pet, I recommend a two-part treatment. The first is with a cleaner to remove any debris; I like DECHRA DermaPet Malacetic Otic. This is important as ear medications need to contact the skin of the ear and if there is ear wax or other debris in the way, then the medications can't work. After the ears are dry, you can apply the medication. Ears typically need to be treated twice a day for 7-10 days. Cats can commonly get ear mites that may look like an ear infection. If you have not treated Melcho for ear mites, I recommend doing so now. If the ear infection does not resolve after using an ear cleaner and the Dexoryl within a week, then Melcho should see the vet as he could have a resistant bacteria growing, yeast infection, parasites, or even a polyp causing problems deep in his ear. I cannot find a list of ingredients for the Trixie ear drops, so I cannot tell you if they would be helpful.

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Roxy. I do understand being concerned, but in some cases, it can be safe to use certain human drops. It's off label use. If your vet recommended it, it should be ok. I hope this helps!

As long as it is a cat approved product and not a dog product an the wright ranges are correct then it is fine to use. A small amount of cats have an allergic reaction to any topical product where there can be hair loss at the application site but if this has never happened before then it is unlikely to happen now
