Mometamax Ointment

[Mas1981]

I saw a dermatologist for my dogs allergies on friday and was given some of Mometamax ointment to use in his one ear canal for 14 days, I went to put the ointment in tonight and his ear is very very red inside and the protruding bits on the inside of his ear ( no idea what they are called) seem very inflammed. I tried to phone the clinic but they are closed, my question is whether I now put the ointment tonight or not, I really feel that it could be the ointment as his ears have never been that red before! They gave him the ointment as his one canal is inflammed.

If it were me, I would take a photo... not apply th e ointment-wait until tomorrow- and then phone the clinic .

Yeah I dont think putting the ointment would be a good idea. I cant tell if it is left over ointment from yesterday or puss in his ear, it just smells like ointment when I smell the ear.

Yeah, take pics of it so you can send them to your derm... if you don't have their email drop me a line and I can give it to you

Sounds like an adverse reaction, check this out: http://petscriptions.com/mometamax

I would not continue using it and contact the vet.
