They were also closed the following Monday for Martin Luther King Holiday. I called Merck Pharmaceuticals the maker of Mometamax but they were closed for the weekend. I found stories written by families just like ours about their beloved animals going through the same thing as Madison by using Mometamax. I decided to go to my computer and go online to do my own research. Madison was sitting between my feet and I tried screaming her name as loud as I could but she didn’t respond in any way. We realized right at that moment our Madison had gone completely deaf. By Sunday Janushe wasn’t listening or hearing us when we called her. We thought she was just sleeping soundly. On Friday January, 16, 2016 Madison was asleep by the door and didn’t hear us come home. The intern vet tech told him to use 8 drops in each ear, once a day, for 1 week so on 1/9/16 we started the Mometamax ear drops as directed. The intern stated “no not really, these drops are for you to give to her just to be safe side”. My husband looked a little confused so he asked if it was deemed Madison had an ear infection after all. When my husband Chris was paying the vet bill the vet tech approached him and handed him a box of Mometamax ear drops for Madison’s ears. Most of the time we call Madison to us by simply making a psst noise. We were fortunate because our Madison could hear perfectly. Her ears have always been healthy without any issues whatsoever. In all of Madison’s twelve years she has never had an ear infection not even once. My husband told the vet the pink ear was the same ear that Madison jerked away earlier in the appointment when the vet tech was taking a swab sample. The vet looked in both of her ears and said that both of her ears looked good, but she also noticed one of Madison’s ears was a little pinker than normal. The vet tech took a swab of both of her ears and all of a sudden Madison jerked her head.
On JanuChris asked our veterinarian to check her ears. I told my husband Chris to mention it to the vet tomorrow at Madison’s annual check up.
Just a few weeks ago on Januwe noticed Madison had some tan goop on her ear. Madison is a our twelve year old Boxer/Standard poodle mix baby. Thanks for taking the time to read Mary and Madison’s story! ~ Christina Lee – Deaf Dogs Rockīe Aware of The Risks When treating your Dog With Mometamax With that being said, here is Mary’s story of how her hearing dog Madison went deaf from a prescription of Mometamax Otic Suspension ear drops to fight off a potential ear infections in her dog. Those of us white unpigmented deaf dogs already know how much more sensitive our dogs can be to chemicals, drugs, flea preventatives, and even the ingredients in some dog foods. We recently heard from a nice lady named Mary Ostrowski the other day and I want to share her story with all of you who have hearing and deaf dogs. We also do a lot of Googling to see what other owners in similar situations have gone through when treating their furry loved ones with the same treatment protocol. With our own deaf and hearing dogs we are 100% their advocates so we ask our veterinarians very specific questions about the side effects of each medication they recommend. Here at Deaf Dogs Rock we are advocates and we feel it is important for dog owners to do their own research when teaming up with your vet to come up with a health plan to fight certain K-9 infections. It is crucial to know the list of risks associated with certain drugs prescribed by your veterinarians to treat infections in your dog.
