"Dear Zymox,
I usually don't waste my valuable time to write a company regarding a
product, however, in this case I must. I have a puppy mill Old English
Sheepdog that I adopted through a shelter. Every month for two years I
have had to take her to the vet, because she had another ear infection.
Actually - I'm assuming that her ear infection never actually went away
for two years, because I could not touch her ear without muzzling her.
I found your product - Zymox Otic Enzymatic Solution and I read all these
incredible stories of how great this product was and that it treats
bacterial, fungal and yeast infections. My vet never told me what kind of
infection that she had. I decided to try the product, but to be honest, I
wasn't expecting a miracle.
Although she usually only had the infection in the left ear, I decided
that I was going to treat both ears. The first day I muzzled her and she
was soooo mad like always whenever I touched her ears. The second day,
instead of running and growling at me when she saw the bottle she came to
me. I muzzled her and applied the drops. The third day, her ears looked
almost healed.
I was amazed that her ears cleared up in three days, but I continued to
use the product for 14 days straight. Marnie as not had any products in
four (4) months since I used Zymox.
Thank you sooooo much for such a wonderful product! I can honestly say
that I can't think of any other product, for animals, people, or household
that I value as much as this product. I have told everyone that I know -
especially floppy ear dog owners. And I have written down Zymox in so
many places, because I want to make sure that I never forget the name of
your product."

"I just wanted to touch base on the Otic solution that we tried on or our
Golden Retreiver Buddy who has cronic ear problems. Buddy is 10 yrs old and
has had problems all his live. My vet told me that I should consider having
his ear canals removed to stop the suffering. I refuse to do this. I have
been using this product for 7 days now and have seen a huge improvement in
Buddy's ears. The redness is gone and a nice pink tone is now seen. Most of
the swelling has gone down but still some is present. Should I continue for
another 3-7 days. Buddy is quite impressed himself. He dosen't fight me
near as much when I put this product in his ears. He knows it's helping.
Also he's not scratching or rubbing as much. Thank you so much!"

"My wife and I have been lucky to a rottweiler named Munster vom
Murphmeister, a 171 pound old german cart puller whom has had the
worst ear problems since being a puppy. We had also had his father
who's no longer with us who also suffered ear problems although not
as acute as Munster. Over the last 7 years we had tried everything
from antibiotics to home concoctions, various ear washes, creams and
meds only to listen to Munster shake his head endlessly and
constantly trying to clean his on ear by licking his paw and rubbing
his ear only to cause it to bleed. It seemed the surgery on his ear
canal was all that was left, until I got on the web and found your
product. The Zynox with cortisone within 3 days has him sleeping
through the night and he has all but stopped shaking his head except
for the three or four times a day which are normal. This stuff is
amazing and best of all it's extremely easy to use. Thank you from
me and Munster, thank you."

"I was introduced to the Zymox line of products at the Central Veterinary
Conference in Kansas City in August, 2006.
Prior to attending CVC, I had been treating one particular patient for
chronic otitis since May, 2006 with no real success. We were discussing
performing a lateral ear resection, but a culture and sensitivity performed
in mid-August revealed antibiotic-resistant pseudomonas. We returned from
the CVC, and I started her on a sample of Zymox Otic that I had brought
back. The ear cleared up a little, but I was still skeptical. I attempted to
switch her back to the other products we had been using, and the infection
was even worse at recheck. I then put her back on Zymox and continued it for
several weeks, rechecking her weekly. The ear, which no other antibiotic or
ear product would effectively treat, healed completely with Zymox. The owner
currently uses Zymox weekly as a preventative and is very happy to have
avoided surgery.
At our practice, Zymox is now the first medication I dispense for chronic
otitis, because it works. We have also started using several of the other
Zymox products, including the shampoo and conditioner. I am very satisfied
and happy with the Zymox line of products."

"We can't thank you enough
for inventing and formulating the Zymox Otic Enzymatic lotion. We had just
purchased our lovely 2 year old Weimaraner. Never knowing how bad her ears were
with excessive wax and yeast infection, etc. She hated the many harsh
prescription creams from the vets. They did little to help her & only made
the ears worse! Her violent & constant head-shakes (and ears scratched open)
made us feel like new hopeless owners. Out of desperation we found you website
& some other vets on the internet gave a thumbs for your product. Isabella's
ears are clean & healthy now. She loves life, playing & not worrying
about constantly digging her ears. Best of all, Excessive wax is gone after a
short time & no more daily ear cleanings are necessary. Thanks again!"

"I mistakenly kept my first
dozen of Zymox on my pharmacy shelf for a long time. I chose to use Zymox on an
ear that was not responsive to any antibiotic on my culture and sensitivity over
a 4 week period of time. Zymox worked amazingly on this ear and cleaned up the
infection in less than 2 weeks. Zymox is now my first choice for both yeast and
bacterial infections."

"I would like to say THANK
YOU so very much for making Zymox Otic. I found your site on the web after my
veterinarian and myself had exhausted every possible cure for my dogs ongoing
ear infection of over a year and a half. Her ears had gotten so bad that they
were completely swollen and she could hardly hear and was in pain constantly.
Dr. Bilbrey had tried everything from ear meds to even eye meds in her ears,
with no luck. Finally I decided to go on the web and found your site. After
reading up on your product, I went directly to my vet the next day and she
immediately ordered a bottle for my Sadie. This product has been a miracle for
her. She now has no swelling and the green pus that had invaded her ears is
completely gone. Once again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for inventing
such a wonderful product. (I tell everyone I can about your amazing
solution)."

"I had to tell you how your
products have helped to end my dog's suffering. He's eleven years old, and has
liver disease, and has suffered with yeast infections in his ears and feet for
years. I have tried everything, but needed to avoid steroids/hycortisone because
of his liver disease. Nothing seemed to help. Finally my vet suggested Zymox. It
is like a miracle. I started with the 2 oz. spray bottles, but his bloody,
yeasty feet were so bad that I was going through a bottle every day or two. Then
I started to supplement with your medicated rinse. It's incredible...my dog
actually lifts his feet so I can put it on his feet every night. I only wish I
had discovered your product long ago. Even though his feet look good now, I
stuill put the Zymox medicated rinse on every night. I do not want him to ever
suffer again like he did.
Bless you for discovering a natural product that
even a dog with a sick liver can tolerate. If I can be of any assistance in
spreading the word, please let me know. Thank you."

Please Please Please NEVER
stop being the distributor of Zymox OTIC...I have gone to 3 veterinarians over
the years with one of my English Cocker...The bacterial infection had gotten so
our of hand that it was to the point surgery was the next step!...Before making
an appointment to take her to MSU I decided to try and see if someone on the
European English Cocker Message Board had a suggestion. I was advised if I could
get my hands on Zymox Otic that would do the trick, its the most amazing
medication. Cocker's ears are clearing up!! This product has saved my dog from
undue surgery and the expense on me. Thank you again!!! KUDOS!!!"

"I see several cases of
Otitis externa a day in my practice and it is the most common complaint that the
owners have. I have used several medications (some homemade) and several
approaches to correcting this annoying condition. All had limited success. A
Webster sales rep, Steve Gerber, recommended I use this "new product called
Zymox. It is not an antibiotic and will not cause bacterial resistance," he
says. I tried this product and I have had great success. I have to say 98% of
all the Otitis cases respond to the Zymox protocol. Occasionally I have to use
it for more that 2 wks, but it does work. I have mixed feelings about this
product. The great thing is this medications works extremely well; the bad thing
is I have a shelf full of other medications I won't use any longer. Knowing how
well Zymox works I won't dispense anything else. It is not fair to the client.
The case that convinced me the most was a standard poodle that went to the
groomer and came home with an ear infection. The groomer dispensed a medication
which made the condition worse. I tried every medication I had with no success.
After exhausting my otitis arsenal will no benefit I tried Zymox. I used it last
because it just arrived and I wasn't thinking of using it. Keep in mind this ear
had progressed to a very painful, reddened, irritated ear that neither the
owners or I could touch. The next week, the dog came in and the ear condition
was almost completely resolved. The dog allowed me to examine and flush out the
ear without pain or discomfort. I have a life long client as a result, and it is
due to this great product. This is a true story! Thank you for the great
product."

"I stumbled across your web
page one day and it sounded too good to be true. I had my vet order the Zymox
for ear infections hoping it would help my Petey. Petey has had a chronic ear
infection in one ear for 8 years. I have spent a fortune on vet bills and
ointments trying to get both of us some relief. A shot in the dark, and I was
amazed how fast it worked on her. She no longer has to go thru all the suffering
and pain of that ear. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for such a miracle
drug for my darling Petey. I just called the vet to order Petey the shampoo and
rinse hoping it works on her skin allergies. Once I get those products I feel
sure the skin problems will go away. I have so much faith in Zymox I can't wait
to get the products."

"I have been using Zymox-E
in my dog's ears for over a year. My vet was ready to do surgery to remove my
dog's ear canals as a last option. She has suffered terribly from yeast
infections and the smell was horrible. After trying this product for several
weeks, her ears have been fine since. I now only have to use it once a week.
Thank you."

"I got our first sample of
Zymox at an AAHA convention. Being a skeptic, I brought the bottle home and
tried it on my worst chronic ear case. (Even though the dog died 2 weeks
later of other causes.) We were impressed with how well it worked and we ordered
a dozen. We now use Zymox for all yeast and/or inflammatory otitis (2ndry to
atopy). Almost all of our chronic otitis cases are using Zymox and have found
that the ears are much improved and the pets are more comfortable. Most still
use Zymox to maintain the ears through allergy season. We now buy Zymox 4 to 8
dozen at a time (every other month). We are very happy with the effectiveness of
this product."

Country View Animal Hospital, Beloit, WI
"Zymox combines all the
desirable characteristics of an otic medication for cats and dogs. Its mechanism
of action is effective against a broad spectrum of common bacteria and yeast,
including antibiotic-resistant strains. The formulation is easy to administer,
non-irritating, and safe for patients with a compromised tympanic membrane.
Zymox with hydrocortisone offers a well-tolerated anti-inflammatory preparation
with fewer adverse effects than longer duration corticosteroids. Our clinical
impression of Zymox for resolving acute and chronic bacterial otitis externa is
very favorable. Zymox is also useful for treating Malassezia infections,
following a 2-week course of therapy. Our clients appreciate the natural
ingredients found in this product."
William K. Kruesi, DVM,
Cold River Center, North Clarendon, VT
"The products are excellent.
I use a large amount of Zymox as a first choice for any ear infection I see. I
also use Zylafen for not only reptile skin infections, but also lipfold
dermatitis/skinfold dermatitis and interdigital dermatitis in cats and dogs. I
recommend these products to all the vets I work with."
Vincent Seccareccia,
DVM, Ferguson Animal Hospital, North Providence, RI
"Zymox is my first choice
currently in all my otitis externa cases- mild or chronic. Clients love the ease
of use! They don't have to worry about "digging" around in the ears to clean
them and most of the dogs don't run and hide when they see them (owners) coming
with the bottle."
Mary R. Rizzolo, DVM, An
Alternate Choice, Cleveland, OH
"Where can I get Zymox
Shampoo? I've never had ANYTHING whip Shar-Pei ears into shape like your Zymox,
so I have to assume that your shampoo and rinse are good products as
well."

"I am writing to thank you
for offering Zymox medicated drops in your product line. We have been
struggling with a recurring, chronic ear infection in my toy poodle for
approximately six months. We have tried numerous products and modalities but
nothing worked as quickly nor sustained the health of his ears like Zymox. The
product provided immediate relief to my little poodle's ears and his ears
remained clear. We are thrilled. Thank you so much."
Consumer, Brandon,

"My own dog, a St. Bernard
who is now 8 years old suffered from chronic ear infections. I never got
the results to clear up the infection for a long period of time. I tried Zymox
on her and saw results in 2-3 days. I love it. It is so easy to use. I didn't
know how this would work for other animals, so I ordered a small quantity and
passed it on to a few "trial" patients. They all loved it! I find your product
excellent and will continue to use it on my own dog and those willing to try a
new product."

"I want to thank you for
recommending Zymoz to be used not only on our Labs ears, but as a follow up to
the Zymox shampoo and rinse. deCoucy has had what a lab termed as three
different kinds of fungus on his skin. This condition has been with him for
about a year now. Our vet started deCoucy on the Zymox shampoo and rinse in
July. This treatment made all the difference in the world. His coat come back
and the scabs went away, except for a few stubborn places. With the Zymox
applied to these places, in less that 9 days the problem has gone away. We are
happy and we know that our 8 year old Lab is even happier."

"I wanted to write & thank you for Zymox Otic. I have
a four year old English Cocker Spaniel, Rudy, that has
suffered from frequent ear infections. Until I
started treating the infections with Zymox, both the
infections & the mainstream treatments were both
painful & irritating. Rudy dreaded the harsh ear
washes & treatments that were prescribed by two
different veterinarians.Now with Zymox, Rudy doesn't mind the non-irritating
Zymox. At the first sign of an ear-shake or itch, I
treat with Zymox and have been able to completely
avoid recurring infections. Zymox has also eliminated
the thick discharge that used to accompany each ear
infection. Zymox has certainly improved Rudy's quality of life.
I have recommended your product line to other dog
owners that struggle with ear & skin infections & will
continue to do so. Zymox has earned a customer for
life. Thank you for a fine product."
