we use ottomax for our sheepadoodle"s ears (they are very hairy and yes we pluck them as required), every time we need a prescription our vet wants us to make an appointment so we end up with a $150.00 bill plus the cost of the prescription, only one vet close to us. do you sell a non-prescription product that we can order. The last six times she has been examine (over 2 yrs), we are told the same thing yeast infection. Suggestions??
-
Otomax is a powerful combination of gentamicin sulfate, betamethasone valerate, and clotrimazole which does require a prescription from your veterinarian. It would be best to consult with your veterinarian if there is another option to help minimize or decrease the likelihood of recurring yeast infection in your dog’s ear.

How many 5 drop doses are in a 15 G tube of Otomax ointment?
-
The Otomax otic ointment has about 450 drops per 15 gram tube. This number is an approximation and will depend on the size of drops administered. The 15 gram tube should provide about 90 doses if you are administering 5 drops to one ear. Thank you, VetRxDirect

My vet wont allow me to buy from anywhere else.. any suggestions??
-
Jessie, If your veterinarian will provide you with a written prescription, you would be able to mail that to us and we can fill from that. Otherwise the only other options are to get an OTC item that does not require a prescription or to maybe find another vet that would allow you to buy from somewhere else. Thank you, VetRxDirect

Tawny, As a prescription medication, pharmacies require authorization from your pet's veterinarian to purchase Otomax. VetRxDirect is a trusted, licensed, and accredited pet pharmacy. We urge you to talk to your pet's veterinarian about your pet's options. Thank you, VetRxDirect
