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.

From Snohomish, WaComments about Neomycin / Polymyxin / Dexamethasone OphthalmicMy 75 pound male Boxer let me apply twice then would not let me apply as he wrestle me then ran out of my grasp. I'm heartbroken as his eye is red and drooling. I called vet to see if there could be a spray option. Nope none. I did some research and no spray option available. Hopefully my dog will not go blind or lose his eye. -
I will buy this product monthly when I can get it.
From UndisclosedComments about Neomycin / Polymyxin / Dexamethasone OphthalmicMax has had cataracts removed and uses these drops on a daily basis. Easier to apply than ointment and doesn't leave greasy residue around his eyes. The only problem I have is that Vetrx is frequently out of them. -

Will my cat be okay if she ingested a little? She licks her paw and her eye multiple times after applying. We also have another cat that tries to lick her eyes.?

According to Plumb’s Veterinary Drug Handbook, when used as an eye medication, overdoses are not likely. But side effects could occur if your animal eats the medication. Please consult your veterinarian with any further questions or concerns regarding this medication and your cat. If any residue is left on your animal’s face after giving the eye drops, it is recommended to gently wipe it off with a damp cloth or tissue.

Dumb question. I can't open the bottle...?
-
The Neo/Poly/Dex Ophthalmic suspension bottle has a safety seal that must be removed before the bottle can open. This can be done with a scissors or using your fingers to pull at the perforated seams on the safety seal. After removing the safety seal, you should be able to twist the cap on the bottle to open it. The ointment will typically have a protective plastic ring connected to the cap that must be broken off prior to use. This could be accomplished by twisting the cap until the plastic ring breaks free. If you are experiencing difficulty opening the bottle, you may also contact our pharmacy for assistance.

Is this okay to use for Cat Conjunctivitis? I know Neo Poly Bac is better, but I have this ointment here already. Former vet tech so I'm watching it closely and will take him in if it gets to that point, but it seems to be helping some.?
-
Neo-Poly-Dex Ophthalmic is labeled to treat bacterial infections of the eye and is a medication that can be used safely in cats. However, conjunctivitis can be caused by other items besides bacteria, such as a virus, fungi, allergies, hereditary conditions, foreign objects, or may be a symptom of another eye disease. For this reason, it is recommended that you consult with your veterinarian regarding your cat’s medical condition so they can determine the correct course of action.

I have been looking to order this product (suspension) for over a week and it keeps showing up "out of stock" when will you be shipping again? Should I consider ordering the ointment version??
-
Unfortunately, the suspension is in very short supply at this time [July 30, 2019] due to a recall by some manufacturers. None of the stock that we had or have shipped in the past was affected by the recall, but we are currently unable to get the suspension from our distributors. At this time we have no information on when we will be able to get it back in stock. If you need the suspension soon, I would recommend seeking it from another pharmacy or speaking with your veterinarian about your options. Your veterinarian may recommend trying the ointment or some other treatment options to best suit your dog or cat’s needs.
