User Reviews for Tri-Otic otic (ear)

DO NOT USE Tri-Otic ointment!!! My 13 year old Lab is now deaf with the use of this medication. The infection was only in one ear but the vet said to use in both ears. He could have at least been able to hear from one ear. We are saddened beyond words and he will never hear "good Boy" or "I love you" again.

Fantatsic vet prescribed this to treat possible ear infection. Dog lost hearing after four days of use; we discontinued use and hearing still gone. Based on the number of comments and review from here and elsewhere, I'd say BEWARE this drug!

My Vet prescribed this for my beloved Bubbles, a 13 year old caca-poo, and his ears were only red and irritated, not infected. After only 2 days of use, we noticed he could not hear us at all, I trusted my Vet to help my pet, NOT have him hear his favorite words of what a GOOD BOY he is. I can not believe I was not warned about this, and there is not a warning on the label at all.

This caused my dog to go compeltely deaf! Now I have to wait two weeks to find out if he will ever hear again.

Had I known that hearing loss could occur I never would have used it. My dog is 12 years old and the Vet really should have informed me of this possibility. I feel terrible that my dog trusted me and allowed me to use this drug and cause his hearing loss. I hope this condition can be reversed.

I was given this medication from my vet to treat my 11 1/2 yr old male dog to help with an ear infection in both ears. After just a short few days he has shown signs of becoming completely deaf. We have stopped treatment and he has not shown any improvement in his hearing. It's been 4 days. We read that in older dogs hearing loss may occur. This we found out AFTER we saw signs something was wrong and researched the medication on line. We have used this medication on the same dog in the past and never noticed anything was wrong with his hearing.Read More Read Less

I was given this medication by my vet, for my dog's ear infection and learned after the fact that a side effect is hearing loss. She is presently deaf in both ears and have been told that this could be either just temporary or it could be permanent. I want others to be aware of this.
