What is Baytril Otic?
Baytril Otic is used to treat outer ear infections in dogs. Unlike oil or petroleum-based products, Baytril Otic is water-based which helps to sooth inflamed ears. Baytril requires a prescription from your veterinarian.
For:
Dogs
Benefits:
- First topical solution approved by the FDA for canine otitis externa
- Water-based emulsion soothes infected ears
- Two powerful ingredients (enrofloxacin and silver sulfadiazine) kill bacteria and fungus
How it works:
Baytril Otic works to treat ear infections with the use of two ingredients enrofloxacin and silver sulfadiazine. Enrofloxacin has quick bacteria-killing properties and silver sulfadiazine is an ingredient which kills fungal microogranisms most commonly associated with canine otitis externa (ear infections).
Cautions:
The safe use of Baytril Otic in dogs for breeding purposes, during pregnancy, or in lactating bitches, has not been evaluated.

Baytril Otic (Bayer)

Works for my ESS
Plagued w springer ear, my male was using zymox for chronic yeast infections. Then he started getting crusty sores on his skin. Thinking it might be diet related the health pet food shop where they are groomed, suggested going grain free. His ears got much worse. Went to the vet, ears were cultured. Expensive yes but we got great diagnosis. Now using Baytril and antibiotic for three different bacteria. Dog is now on hydrolyzed proteins food only. He loves it and he is ears are much better. Thank goodness. Our other Springer has had zero ear problems.

MOST IMPORTANT- THIS IS a 2 -PERSON JOB one holds the dog the other applies treatment.

This product is working.
Our vet recommended this product because of the severe ear infection that Bella had. They did not carry it at their veterinary service. While Bella definitely does not like have her ears "invaded", she is truly doing better. The vet has recommended that we bring her back for a check-up before we run out of medicine, which we plan to do.

Malassezia and Pseudomonas
My new foster poodle had a yeast (Malassezia) and Pseudomonas ear infection (both ears). The vet took a sample from the ear and viewed it under the microscope. The combination of enrofloxacin and silver sulferdiazine is currently the best way to wipe out the Pseudomonas. I did have to fill the ear canals to make sure the med got deep into the ear. Because there is no steroid in this, I was not worried about an overdose-- the higher the local concentration of the enrofloxacin, the better for the Pseudomonas. Silver sulfadiazine fights the yeast. Fantastic product. Look up the scientific research online before taking the anecdotal advice of the negative reviews. If your dog has a Pseudomonas ear infection, use a lot of medication for an extended period of time because you must wipe out all of the colonies in the ear, 100% or your dog will end up with resistant bacteria and possibly long term problems and loss of hearing.

Effective for my dog, so far!
I did take my dog to the veterinarian, who gave me the 15 mL bottle. I have been using it on her ear for 3 days so far, and it is clearing up nicely! She was absolutely miserable, but I can see that she is doing so much better already! I read the other reviews and it is apparent that this product is not for every pet, so PLEASE, for the sake of your pet, take them to the vet first!

like using water
I have two Cooker Spaniels. They are prone to ear infections. I have used Panalog, Otomax, Baytril. \Baytril was like using water. It did absolutely nothing! That office visit cost me $527.00, office visit, exam, ear cleaning & the Baytril. I am tired of these out of line fees at the vets. If we don't start complaining about there charges they will continue to go up. Taking two kids to the doctor never cost this much for ear infections. This has got to stop! ALL VETS ARE OUT OF LINE ON THEIR FEES!!

No effect, if not worse!
I tried to order Otomax from PetMed and my vet warned me against using Otomax without an exam first. Otomax may cause hearing damage if eardrum is not intact. My order for Otomax was cancelled and I spent $90 on Baytril and MicaVed. Two weeks later, my dogs ears are worse and the skin is red. Going back this morning to get exam and, I'm sure, Otomax for infection. Don't waste your time, money, or dog's comfort with this stuff.

Is Baytril Otic safe to use in the presence of a perforated ear drum????
Baytril Otic should be used with caution in the presence of a perforated ear drum. The decision to use this is between you and your veterinarian weighing the benefits versus the risk.
