Neo Poly Dex for dog's ears
I have a 14 year old wire haired fox terrier, Alexander. For the past 3 years I've had a very difficult time protecting the pet from ear infection. LSU Veterinary Medicine, Baton Rouge, Louisiana in Fall 2016 recommended to my veterinarian using Neo Poly Dex in Alex' ears to control yeast infection. I currently use 2 drops in each ear, every other day. I was using B&L drops in Alex' ears until Spring 2017, when B&L eliminated distribution for use in animals. (Presumably because of shortage for human use in eyes) So, I found the Sandoz brand Neo Poly Dex manufactured by Alcon Labs which has the same ingredients as the B&L drops in April 2017 and switched to that brand. With the Neo Poly Dex drops and the use of Virbac Epi-Otic ear cleanser, used 2-3 times per week, Alex is now having much better ear exams and less cleaning every 2-3 weeks to protect his hearing.

Good product. However, it did not stop the tear discharge...
Good product. However, it did not stop the tear discharge of my puppy's left eye. So I am not sure if the vet was correct in prescribing this medication.

My vet prescribed this for my dog to be administered one drop in each nostril. What are the possible side effects? Would they be the same as in the eye (i.e. possible burning or discomfort)? I administered the first three doses successfully without any apparent reaction from my dog but the fourth dose appeared to bother her. Thanks!?

Neomycin/Polymyxin B/Dexamethasone and Terramycin both contain the active ingredient polymyxin B. While this is not a contraindication for concurrent use, it may be unnecessary to double up on the medication. Please speak to your veterinarian regarding the use of these products and your cat.
