Is it safe to use human ear drops like Otomize on my dog?

Question

Can I use otomize ear spray on my dog. Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Male | unneutered

David Elbeze, DVM, MRCVS · Accepted Answer

IT's not recommended to use prescription human ear drops on dogs as their ear infections are very different than ours, for example most ear infections in dogs are caused by yeast while in humans it is extremely rare thus this ear drop does not contain any anti yeast medication and will in most cases be useless when used on a dog.
