What is Surolan Otic Suspension for Dogs and Cats?
- Surolan is a prescription ear medication for dogs or cats that treats otitis externa, outer ear infection, caused by yeast and bacteria.
- Surolan contains polymixin B sulfate, prednisolone acetate, and miconazole nitrate - an antibiotoc, an anti-inflammatory steroid, and an antifungal.
- Surolan works by killing infection causing bacteria and yeast in the ear and reducing the swelling and redness often associated with ear infections.
Why is Surolan used for cats and dogs?
- If your dog or cat has been diagnosed with otitis externa or an ear infection, your veterinarian may prescribe a suspension such as Surolan.

What problems could my dog or cat have with Surolan?
- Do not allow the suspension to get into your pet's eyes or mouth.
- Do not use in dogs with damaged ear drums.
- Your pet may experience some redness or discomfort at the application site.
- Contact your veterinarian immediately if you notice the infection is not healing or is getting worse.
- Contact your veterinarian immediately if you notice loss of appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, sudden hearing loss, increasingly worse ear pain, head tilt, walking in circles, mouth sores, increased thirst, frequent urination, or worsening skin and hair issues at the application site.

Effective product
My dog has always had issues with his ears. His allergies are the biggest cause. I've tried many ear medications and Surolan has been the only product that has provided relief. The inflammation is cleared up and the constant itching. I do find that I have to use it twice daily for at least week however, other dogs may not need it that long.

READ SIDE EFFECTS BEFORE USING THIS DRUG
This was given to my dog who had an ear infection, she lost her hearing. I googled the side effects and it says possible hearing loss or deafness. It is NOT worth the risk. My dog had perfect hearing prior to this medication and now she can NOT hear at all!! There are many other drugs to use why prescribe something that may cause hearing loss???

Dog is now DEAF!
From Chesterfield, MOComments about Surolan Otic SuspensionWas prescribed for ear infection. Was administered less frequently than prescribed dosing, yet it was enough to cause deafness. Unfortunately I discovered this is PRIMARY SIDE EFFECT after I noticed hearing loss. This should be banned. -

Cleared infection in a few days
From New JerseyComments about Surolan Otic SuspensionThis cleared up our dog's ear infection really quickly after several other medications failed to work. She clearly doesn't like getting it out in her ear but it's very effective.

We have a cat and the vet has prescribed "sirloin" for him. The package says for "dogs only." Is it safe to use for cats too. I also read some reviews and I'm not convinced it's safe. PLEASE answer! Thank you?

Surolan is a medication indicated to treat certain types of ear infections found in dogs. Your cat’s veterinarian may prescribe this medication for off-label use for your cat if he or she chooses to do so. Please contact the veterinarian for guidance relating to your pet’s drug therapy.

The Surolan only comes in ear drops. There are other oral medications you could look in to but the brand name Surolan only comes in the ear drop form. Thank you, VetRxDirect

My vet put our dog on a dose for 21 days, 2x a day. He now has built up fluid in his ear and she has indicated that is sometimes a side effect to this medication and that the fluid now might stop the medication from working. Is 21 days a standard dose??
-
Annmay, Surolan ear drops include three medications: miconazole (an anti-fungal), polymyxin B (an antibiotic), and prednisolone (a steroid to reduce swelling/irritation). Duration of treatment depends on the diagnosis. Surolan is most typically used for 7 days, but studies have been extended to 42 days. Side effects noted in these studies were pain, swelling, and redness of the ear canal. Fluid build-up has been reported as a side effect from Surolan. A persisting infection could also cause these symptoms. If the fluid was preventing the medication from reaching the site of the infection in the ear, it could potentially decrease its effectiveness. If your dog is experiencing side effects or you are concerned that the medication may not be working, it would be important to contact your veterinarian to discuss alternate treatment options. Thank you, VetRxDirect

My dog has become deaf since using the Surolan. I used a drop per day in each ear for 2 weeks. I stopped her treatment 3 days ago. Will she regain her hearing??
-
Joyce, Reduced hearing or loss of hearing is an uncommon but potential adverse effect with Surolan. The manufacturer doesn’t report whether or not this adverse effect is reversible once therapy is discontinued. I recommend contacting your veterinarian as well as the manufacturer, Vetoquinol, at 1-800-835-9496 to report the adverse reaction and for further assistance. Thank you, VetRxDirect

Part of the check-out process will be to include veterinarian information, and once an order is placed with us, we will fax over to your pet's veterinarian for approval on the prescription (unless you indicate during the check-out that you will be mailing a prescription to us). Thank you, VetRxDirect
