5.0 out of 5 stars Zymox is an amazing product January 12, 2006

By C. Geddis

I had high hopes that this product would work for my dog, but thought it was too good to be true. I'm a believer now!!! My black lab has suffered with chronic ear infections his whole life. He's a lab, so its hard to keep him out of the water, even in winter, so keeping his ears dry is always a problem. We had always tried to avoid the ear infections by drying the outside ear area and squirting a vinegar and water solution in the ears after swimming, but it usually didn't work.

After our vacation to the lake last summer, the ear infections came back. We went to the vet, and $200. later we had our usual meds and ear drops. My dog has been through this so much that he doesn't like anyone to even touch his ears, especially not me. He knows whats coming when I have the towel and stuff and I sit at the table and call him over. Well, it just didn't work. We were back at square one shortly after completing the round of meds. He gets a terrible smell from his ears when they are infected and he shakes his head a lot, expecially when he barks. He also scratches at his ears causing sores around the head and on the ears.

Finally I did some research online and found ZYMOX. It sounded really good and it had some good reviews on AMAZON. I bought two bottles and as soon as it arrived began using it. On one vet's website he recommended it be used 4 times a day for 1 to 2 weeks, so thats what I did. Within a week, his ears didn't smell anymore, the head shaking stopped, the itching stopped and now after he barks he doesn't shake his head.

Its been about 3 weeks since the round of ZYMOX (I did get the hydrocortizone solution) and his ears are still infection free, no smell, no discharge from the ears. He seems to be SO much happier and its funny but I think he can hear much better. He used to bark at any little sounds he heard and now, he doesn't do that. He doesn't mind me touching his ears either.

I love this product and will definately keep it around. It will go with us on vacation back to that lake this summer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Stuff/ Saved Lots of $ January 11, 2007

By Anita Coffey

Size Name:1-1/4-Ounce

I have 3 dogs. They all have had their share of ears infections that always made for a trip to the vet at the cost of $95 plus the cost of $28 for an anti-biotic ointment for the ear. My one dog is a Coon Hound/Lab mix and had to actually have an $800 operation on his ear because the infection in his ear would not clear up. Even though we do all the ear maintenance as prescribed to prevent ear infections, this dog usually has at least 6 ear infections per year and the vet costs for each infection. We are not wealthy people. I bought Zymox Otic with 1% hydrocortisone for the first time in October because it looked like the one dog was going to need the other ear operated on and we did not have the money. I cannot tell you that I was totally shocked when his ear cleared up within 2 days using Zymox. I know my vet would never use Zymox or recommend it because he would probably go bankrupt. He used to be a great vet who really cared but them he stopped caring and started looking at his practice as a business so I know he would find something negative to say. There were absolutely no side effects from Zymox I am so happy that I found this stuff. Try it if your dog has any problems with ear infections. You will be pleasantly surprised.

5.0 out of 5 stars Zymox worked where Antibiotics Failed! March 24, 2008

By Michael W. Chalkley

Size Name:1-1/4-Ounce

We have a large Leonberger dog which basically looks like a 160 pound Golden Retriever. He had terrible ear infections ever since he was a puppy and we were continuously going to the vet and spending up to $300 per visit for heavy duty antibiotics and ear drops. His ears would get a little better but the infection would always return worse than before. Our dog hated "pill pockets" so we had to wrestle him to get him to take his meds and he would run whenever he saw the ear drops bottle in our hands.

Exasperated with the continual pain our dog was in, we paid over $600 for Baytril pills and Baytril Otic. It was very expensive as our dog is huge and it required multiple bottles and pills because each dose was so large. Our vet told us this was the last chance of a cure before surgery would be required.

His ears cleared up a little bit but at the end of the round of antibiotics his ears were still red, scaly, inflamed and smelly.

We went ahead and took him back in and the vet recommended surgery.

In frustration I started surfing the net and found a review for Zymox. It sounded too good to be true but I figured we had nothing to lose. The Zymox was so cheap and I verified that the guy recommending it was a real vet.

The package arrived from Amazon. The Zymox looked a little like liquid soap and I started applying it every morning to his ears. I immediately noticed that the next day his ears looked less inflamed and did not smell. I took this as a good sign and kept treating the ears every morning. At the end of the week his ears were completely healthy and he was so much happier. I couldn't believe we had spent thousands of dollars trying to cure his ear infections and that a $10 bottle of Zymox had cleared it up in a week!

I am now a believer and hope that this review convinces someone else to try this wonderful product. We use it once a month to keep the ear infections from coming back and it has worked like a charm.
