Since my geriatric dog has finished a round of this medication for ear infections, she is completely deaf. She was NOT completely deaf before being prescribed....Is there any cure to this "side effect"??? (And, yes, I know that you have a convenient caveat on the inserted pamphlet in the box)?
-
Unfortunately, the small number of dogs with hearing loss that occurs with gentamicin (the antibiotic in Motazol) is often irreversible. Some research suggests that certain antioxidants (D-methionine, glutathione, a-lipoic acid) might prevent further hearing loss, but you should definitely discuss starting an additional supplement with your pet's veterinarian before doing so.
