How to Give Otic Suspension Ear Medication
Otic suspension are creamy ear meds that coat the ear canal to treat infections or inflammation. Here’s how to give them safely:
- Warm the medication in your hands for a minute (don’t overheat).
- Secure your pet comfortably. Lift the ear flap to straighten the canal.
- Clean the ear first only if your vet advised it.
- Add drops: Use the dropper or syringe to apply the prescribed amount into the ear canal. Don’t insert too deep into the ear canal.
- Massage the base of the ear for 20–30 seconds to help spread the medicine.
- Let your pet shake their head, then gently wipe away any excess.
- Repeat for the other ear if needed.
- Praise, treat, and wash your hands.
- Use for the full duration prescribed—don’t stop early, even if the ear looks better.
