Tri otic ointment for puppy ear infection. The directions say to place 4 drops in each ear-?

Question

But the consistency of the medicine is like vaseline or a gel, I am starting to think that maybe I got a medicine that was labeled incorrectly. If anyone has used this ointment and knows whether it is supposed to be liquid, or gel please get back to me. Thankyou.

Answer 1

It is a very thick liquid.  When you go to put the drops in you will see that it comes out in drops.  It's a little hard to squeeze the bottle because it's a heavier plastic but the drops come out one at a time.  

Answer 2

Hi Monica.

If I remember, this is a very thick liquid, almost a paste, so you would use the equivelent of 4 drops.  If you got it from your Vet, just give them a call when they open.  

This ointment should not be used without verifing that the ear drum is intact.

Best of luck.

It is a sauve to keep the little guys from being irratated and him scraching his ears all the time.
