Mupirocin is a topical antibiotic ointment used in dogs, cats, and horses to treat localized skin infections (such as hotspots, cuts, or wounds) caused by bacteria. It’s particularly effective against Staphylococcus and other common skin bacteria, including some resistant strains, and is applied directly to the affected area to aid healing and prevent infection spread.

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.
