After seeing the vet today, I was given motazol for his yeast ear issue. I put the drops in his ear, but after I got done administering the 8 drops, I realized that it may have been larger drops and I fear I may have given him too much on his first dose. I squeezed the bottle 8 times but if you lightly squeeze it a tiny drop comes out so I know my dosage was a lot more than what should have been administered. help I don't know what to do and don't want him to go deaf!

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. In regards to ear medication, there is not an exact dosage to give and your dog should be fine. If any neurological signs develop such as a head tilt, walking in circles, etc then I would recommend having a veterinarian take a look at him so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

I’d give the drops more time. I have never used an oral medication for an ear infection unless it was a severe drug resistant bacterial infection. Oral anti-fingals like fluconazols or ketoconazole over an oral antibiotic would be chosen for yeast if absolutely necessary. If Molly’s ears aren’t better at day 10, have her rechecked. She may need a different drop or ask to be shown how to clean the ears and apply the drops.
Good luck!
