Our Lab had chronic ear infections and we used every med for treatment. The most effective one used before getting Tresaderm was pricey and in a metal tube which was difficult to squeeze last bit out. It was also greasy leaving her ears messy.
Tresaderm is just as effective but much simpler to apply and not goopy

Worked!!
The only way your cat would have went deaf is if it wasn't treated in enough time for the ear infection. I read that if an infection is left alone for a while it will cause your animal to go deaf so I don't hardly believe that this product caused your cat to go deaf. I'm using it on my Beagle now and it works perfect. He doesn't feel any discomfort now and isn't messing with his floppy ears anymore. :)

Works Great!
This product was used for my male tuxedo cat. He gets ear infections pretty quickly. This product was very quick and very effective. Love it! Only wish it came in a bigger bottle. It runs out quickly.

Worked quickly with no problems
I took my 13 week old Persian kitten, Owen, to the vet for a wellness exam and booster shots. Owen had not been cared for properly in his previous home, so among ear mites and ear infections, he was also infested with fleas, had tapeworms, and an upper respiratory infection. Our vet prescribed Tresaderm for the ear infections (5 drops 2x daily for 10 days). We saw improvement after only a few days. A week later when I took him back for a follow-up on the URI, the vet said his ears looked good and the mites were gone. I was a little concerned about using this product on Owen after reading some of the reviews, but it worked well and didn't cause Owen any ill effects, other than making the fur around his ears a little sticky/greasy and the "trauma" of being wrapped in a towel #so he couldn't shred our hands and arms# while we put cold medicine in his ears.

Tresaderm made my cat deaf
My kitty is around 10yrs(+?) old . I rescued her, so I dunno for sure.
She had ear infection for months. Tresaderm worked to rid her of ear infection after a week of treatment. But it made her deaf.

Made my dog deaf.
My miniature schnauzer had infected ears, so my Vet prescribed Tresaderm drops twice a day for a week. At the end of the week the infection had cleared up, but my dog was completely deaf. When my Vet checked him again there was no debris in the ears causing the deafness. He said that he had probably suffered nerve deafness as a result of the Tresaderm or old age. Although my schnauzer is 10 years old, his hearing was extremely good until this treatment and he always heard if someone came to the door or drove up the driveway. I relied on him to be my ears. Now he can't hear anything, and it's very sad. This product healed my dog's infection but made him completely deaf.

Works for My Teddy
My Multipoo has had frequent ear infections in just his one ear and I took him to the vet and had to pay for the visit and the meds. This way I order the meds and save myself the visit cause I have dealt with this infection before and had seen a vet I felt good about doing it this way....I still think that it is better to see the vet if it is a new problem...
Thanks
Carol

Is Tresaderm safe to use if the eardrum is ruptured?
only a veterinarian can decide that.

Can you use Tresederm if the kitten had Ivermectin 2 weeks ago?
Please consult you veterinarian, as both Tresaderm and Ivermectin containing products require a prescription.

see below
I left the Tresaderm in the cabinet for a year now my dog has an ear infection can I still use it even thou it was not in the refrigerator?
Prescription medications are good for 1 year from when it was dispensed or earlier according to the manufacturer's expiration date. Beyond this the efficacy of the medication cannot be guaranteed. You should contact your veterinarian regarding the infection to determine if you need to bring in your pet to be seen and which is the appropriate medication needed to treat your pet.

My cat is cleaning his ears after I put this in - is it harmful for him to lick this medicine off his paws?
It wont hurt him....But what you can do is try and distract him for a while by playing with him or giving him some catnip or a treat. This will give the medication a chance to work.
