I read that tea tree oil is toxic for pets... What is the story ? Thank you?
-
Tea Tree oil is used as a natural antibacterial agent in various products. According to the manufacturer, EcoEars for dogs contains a safe, low concentration of tea tree oil. EcoEars for cats does not contain tea tree oil, and can also be used in dogs. According to Plumb's Veterinary Drug Book, exposure to 100% tea tree oil can be toxic and cats are more susceptible than dogs. Like any product, we recommend talking with your pet's veterinarian before using.

Is this a curative for ear infection or a preventative?
-
The proper course of treatment for an ear infection requires knowing the cause, and because only your pet’s veterinarian can do a cytology to determine the cause of a potential ear infection, your pet’s veterinarian should be consulted concerning the appropriate treatment for ear issues. These may include prescription or over-the-counter options. Thank you, VetRxDirect
