Always finish the course of antibiotics as prescribed. If the antibiotics are being applied to the ear directly then hold off with the ear spray until the prescribed treatment is finished. This is because antibiotics can kill both harmful and beneficial bacteria, so using them together can reduce the effectiveness of the probiotics. It is also important to know if the antibiotics are working or not so that you can be better placed to make decisions on your pet’s care. You can begin using the LUCAA+ Ear Care immediately after the last antibiotic treatment, or even just before the last one. If the antibiotics are oral, you can use the LUCAA+ Ear Care alongside them. It is important to keep a close eye on your pet at this point, looking out for signs of healing or of distress. When is doubt, check with your vet. Ear infections can be a recurring problem for cats and dogs. Prevention is better than cure; an infection that is not treated in good time can lead to serious consequences such as deafness. Dirty internal and external auditory canals will often look red and may have an unpleasant odour. LUCAA+ Ear Care can help prevent the infection cycle by offering competition to the potential pathogens. Covering the inner ear surfaces with good, friendly bacteria helps keep away the unfriendly ones that can lead to infections. LUCAA+ Probiotic Pet Ear Care works in a safe, mechanical way. In other words, it works in a way that does not cause antimicrobial resistance and can help to reduce antibiotic requirements.
