How to Use clEARmix Thermo Gel Otic (Ear Medication)
This is a liquid ear medication that turns into a gel once it warms up in your pet’s ear, helping it stay in place and work effectively. It comes in a soft-tipped syringe for easy use.
Step-by-Step:
- Keep it cool – Store in the fridge if instructed. Before using, hold the syringe in your hands for a minute so it’s not too cold, but don’t warm it too much.
- Get your pet ready – Have them sit comfortably and gently lift the ear flap. A second person can help hold them still if needed.
- Clean the ear (if advised) – Use a vet-approved ear cleaner and cotton ball. Wipe out any debris and let the ear dry.
- Apply the medication – Take off the cap. Gently insert just the tip into the ear opening (not deep), and slowly press the plunger to deliver the full dose.
- Massage the ear – Rub the base of the ear for 30 seconds. The liquid will turn into a gel as it warms, and massaging helps it spread inside the ear.
- Let them shake it out – It’s normal! Wipe away any extra gel you see near the ear opening.
- Reward your pet – Offer praise or a treat to keep the experience positive.
- Store and clean up – Recap the syringe and refrigerate if needed. Wash your hands afterward.
