We know that Otitis externa is a common challenge in practice, with ear infections among the most frequent reasons for dogs to present in the clinic2. Cases can be challenging and sometimes frustrating.
Choosing a gel treatment that acts where it’s needed supports a successful outcome for otitis externa* cases.
Patented gel formulation
Osurnia has been uniquely designed so it is less likely to be dislodged from the ear. It’s easily administered, adaptable gel formulation squeezes out of the tube and applies like a liquid, spreading through the ear canal. It then forms as a gel, coating the ear lining prolonging contact of the active ingredients at the site of infection1, helping to reduce treatment frequency and minimise treatment uncertainty.
Osurnia brings the owner back to your clinic
Successful management of otitis externa can often involve long term, or even lifelong treatment of the underlying causes which requires a high level of owner commitment and a good relationship between you and the owner.
When it comes to otitis externa* treatment, Osurnia gives an extra dose of reassurance.
Osurnia’s treatment regime allows you to take control and improve compliance.
It’s second application:
- Provides an opportunity to check the dog mid-treatment
- Ensure it’s responding as planned
- Brings the pet owner back to the clinic
This helps build trust and strengthen the relationship.
