My vet suggested this ear medication because my dog has chronic ear infections. However I am concerned because they never even tested her ears to see what bacteria is causing the problem, and they said I would have to give her this ear stuff for the rest of her life….. I am worried that it may have bad effects on her health and I am not sure yet if I want to use it and I may return the bottle. I asked about any side effects and they said there are none, which makes me kind of suspicious because he also said I had to carefully count the drops or it may burn her ears…. how can this be safe for her if it can burn her ears??
The medication contains Glacial acetic acid 1% Boric acid 0.4% in Propylene glycol
it also says Aluminium acetate/hydrocortisone 0.5/1%
Does anyone know about these chemicals? are they dangerous? any information would be helpful as I am losing trust in my vet and I dont want to use something dangerous on my dog…
Thanks in advance for any help.

just under my rib cage. It is the worst if I lay down, if I roll over the pain gets more extreme, and if I ride in a car the JIGGLING hurts so bad, I have to hold my side the whole time. I have every test done, 3 cat scans, xrays, upper/lower GIs, ultra sounds, they always say they cannot find anything but the pain is severe and wakes me several times, i have to sleep sitting up. Before this, I have always been a healthy strong female with no medical problems. I fear the doctors have given up. I am very active, work everyday, not looking for attention, just relief.

I had two health cats that never had any serious problems for years; one cat was getting older so I decided to adopt a friend for the younger. I adopted a kitten from Pet Smart, which has had Chronic Diarrhea for five months!
The kitten has been diagnosed with coccicidia, Hook worms and Gardia. I have spent thousands of dollars for medications and vet bills, not to mention my litter bill is outrageous, due to having to thoroughly clean the box every time something is in it, carpet steam cleaning, wipes, you name it. The Marley fund which gave me the cats has decided to ignore my plight; the Marley fund was in a Pet Smart to put kittens up for adoption at my local store.
I have spent countless nights doing research and diligently have dealt with this situation for months. Putting aside from my personal frustrations, I am afraid I may lose one or both of my cats. I have appealed to pet smart for help, I was told this Kitten had been tested and de wormed, clearly I was lied to, but the bottom line is I consider the cat’s condition first and foremost no matter what the companies position and how much it disgusts me. I do not think many others would have gone through this ordeal for as long as I have, and I am not going to give up on them, but I am out of ideas, any and all advice would be useful.
They wont eat Yogurt or Pumpkin, I have added a powdered suplement to thier food to sold things up, it doesnt work, nuthing seem to work, help.
