Question 1

does it work?

Accepted Answer

It works very well.  My dog had flaming red irritated ears with black smelly drainage.  I started using EcoEars twice daily for 2 days and then once a day for 8 more.  His ears were clear within 5 days...I continued for the full 10 days...just to make sure.  He was allergic to his dog food.  It's been several months and his ears are still clear.

Question 2

Put some in my Lhasa's ears last night but he's done nothing except shake his head wildly...now the exterior of the ear is bright red. Afraid to use

Accepted Answer

Hi Linda, it's Ann from Vet Organics. All our products come with a couple things: 1) customized advice on how to best get around initial reactions like your Lhasa's.

Question 3

what are the ingredients

Accepted Answer

Tea tree oil is not the main ingredient as someone suggested. All products list the key or highest concentration ingredients in order of first to last or least. Tea tree oil is an anti-viral, anti-bacterial, and an anti-fungal. It can also be an irritant. The witch hazel is an astringent to keep oil away. Alcohol should never be placed in the ear. Google better or ask your physician. This is why many people have reported a bad reaction. It burns, and you're pouring it in your dog's ear! People put it in their own ears for swimmer's ear (despite the burn) because alcohol binds to water molecules and they both evaporate. Hydrogen peroxide is safe for infected dog and human ears and will not burn. It fizzes and is an antiseptic. I wouldn't recommend pouring EcoEars in your dog's ear because you may be causing them pain and discomfort without realizing it. Wiping the ear down and avoiding the canal seems best.

Question 4

Are these drops to put in the ears, or something to put on swabs or cotton rounds to wipe the ear?

Accepted Answer

UPDATED ANSWER: Most people who use the product find using a COTTON BALL or yes, cotton rounds (but not Q-tip) is a good way to apply EcoEars. Just pour some EcoEars on a large cosmetic cotton ball or cotton pad (flat square or round) that you can find in the cosmetics aisle. This helps get EcoEars into your dog's ear easily. Hi there, Nelly had the right answer below Do NOT use cotton swabs (aka Q-tips). They are not necessary. Just a soft tissue (Kleenex), a paper towel, or clean, old T-shirt scrap to wipe away solution and debris after you pour a small amount in your dog's ear and massage the base of his ear well to break up any 'gunk.'
