UsesMometamax Otic Suspension is indicated for the treatment of ear infection in pets caused by susceptible strains of yeast and bacteria.
Possible Side EffectsPlease contact your veterinarian if the following adverse reactions occur: hearing loss or balance problems, increased drinking and urination, weight gain, diarrhea, and vomiting.
Drug & Food InteractionsIf hypersensitivity to any of the components occurs, treatment should be discontinued and appropriate therapy instituted. Associated use of drugs known to induce ear toxicity should be avoided. Do not use in pets with known perforation of eardrums.
Precautions
Before instilling any medication into the ear, examine the external ear canal thoroughly to be certain the outer and middle ear is not ruptured in order to avoid the possibility of transmitting infection, as well as damaging the inner ear from prolonged contact. Administration of recommended doses beyond seven days may result in delayed wound healing. If overgrowth of non-susceptible bacteria or fungi occurs, treatment should be discontinued, and appropriate therapy instituted. Avoid ingestion. Pets should be closely observed for sodium retention, potassium loss, fluid retention, weight gain, excessive thirst, and/or excessive dilute urine. Prolonged use or over-dosage may produce adverse effects.

My dog is now deaf
By Sylvia on Sep 24, 2020
After 3 days taking these drops in both ears, my dog no longer hears me. Reacts to nothing. I am so peed off and talking to the Vet today it was known issue and didn't think it was important enough to tell me??!! I am furious!!

Item good. Not Service
By Rawhides on Jun 21, 2020
I took my dog to the Vet and was given this prescription. I ordered it immediately on June 11 from Chewy because I was told it was fast & cheaper. My dog had a serious ear infection and beside antibiotics and another Med, the Vet wanted this right away. I opted not to buy there $$$. Here I sit on June 21st and it still hasn’t arrived although I also called days ago and said to expedit it because it was needed! VERY disappointed. VERY disappointed. Food they get here quickly but a prescription NOT. I had to call the Vet for alternatives while my boy suffered.

MY DOG IS DEAF
By Orson on Jul 5, 2020
I feel horrible I didn't research before, I put in drops into my dogs ears for 2 days and now he is deaf. I took him to the vet asap and he flushed his ears and then told me some dogs have a reaction to the medicine and have temporary hearing loss. It has been 5 days since and he is still doesn't hear me and I have serious doubts he will gain his hearing back. Now he is blind and deaf don't give this to your dog without doing your homework

Works quickly
By BellaAnn on Jul 8, 2020
I rescued a dog with chronic ear problems. After using the Mometamax for three days, he stopped wanting to shake his head, and I have been clearing so much stuff out of his ears. Seems to be working quickly to give my dog (Pickles) relief.

Lifesaver for ear issues
By alma82 on Apr 26, 2020
This medication has saved our lives! My dog has chronic allergies and yeast infections that affect his ears badly and without this medication, it’s an $800 vet visit to get it back under control. As long as I use this as my vet has directed he is totally fine all season long!

Fast treatment for ear infections
By Nikki on Mar 14, 2020
I have a great dane with big uncropped ears. She is a very active 140# puppy and gets frequent ear infections. This productworks very quickly and efficiently. Ordering it thru Chewy was quick and easy. The product arrived just 2 days after the prescription was verified. This antibiotic/antifungal/steroidsl suspension works quickly and is easy to administer. Thanks Chewy!
