Er..I need a prescription ear cleaning product.

[wavingfuriously]

Any vets can advise..I need prescription dog ear drops, is it possible to bypass vet authority and buy online?

Thanks

It's not for cleaning but yeast infection

If it's prescription then you won't get it online (or anywhere) without speaking to your vet first - it would be illegal.

The reason such medicines are prescription-only is so that a qualified medical professional (a vet!) can determine if that is actually what your dog needs 🙄

If randomers like yourself could just buy antimicrobial medications, the problems with resistance would be even worse than they are now.

Do you need dog ear cleaner drop or antibiotic drops. ?
You can ask your vet for a prescription and then order them online via someone like viovet with the prescription and that would be cheaper.
If it's ear cleaning drops you need you can get otodine ear cleaner from amazon exactly what the vet uses but a lot cheaper. X

I’m alternating between several non prescription ones at the moment. The vet tried several really expensive ones, but the only thing that really helped was steroids.

Sorry I just saw the second post you will need prescription from the vet but can use the prescription to order online it would be cheaper. X

unless you have taken a swab from the ear and had a look under a microscope, you don’t know whether this is a yeast infection. Unless you’ve looked down the ear with an otoscope, you don’t know whether the eardrum is intact and therefore if it’s safe to use ear drops, nor do you know whether there is something like a grass seed contributing to the problem. And many ear infections are secondary to allergic skin disease, which therefore also needs to be assessed. Besides it being illegal to obtain prescription medication without a prescription, there’s good reason why vets are legally obliged to examine animals before issuing one. Please see a vet! We are not going to risk our registration by breaking the law!

Thanks for the useful responses everyone 👍
