Question
Hi i was curuious if i could give my 10 week old border collie the 12 week or older ear drops, or would that be to dangerous and possibly really hurt her?
Krystal -
I am glad you asked - please do not pet ear drops in your dogs' ear without first having them examined by a doctor. Depending on the type of infection in the ear, the wrong ear drops could really do damage to your pets' eardrums.
Best Regards,
