Some time ago I asked here whether anybody had heard of Panalog in the UK.  Nobody had.   However, the latest drops prescribed for my hound has been Canaural (prescription only apparently) and I find this is so similar in colour and make up (consistency) that it might as well BE Panalog.   I wonder if it is the same.

Hoping it works as it's the third pot of drops I've been prescribed for my boy, at no small cost.   It's cheaper online but with the Prescription charge, I guess not that much more than mthe £26.70+ VAT I was charged.   I hate this 'try this, try that' that some vets get into.   And it will have to stop, especially as I only took him in earlier this week to have his Anals checked after they were packed last time.   Different vet (who I do normally see with Frankie) -  he sure knows how to charge.

I have had Panalog. It was a very runny yellow ointment, packed in what looked like an intra-mammary tube. It contained nystatin and triamcinolone and was made by Ciba-Geigy, and was very useful for fungal problems. I don't know whether it is still made.

The active ingredients in Panalog are nystatin, neomycin, thiostrepton and triamcinolone acetonide; Canaural contains Diethanolamine Fusidate, Framycetin Sulfate, Nystatin, Prednisolone. So they're not quite the same combination.
For recurring infections it'd be a good idea to get his ears swabbed to determine exactly what sort of infection he has, so the vet can target the bacteria with the most effective treatment.

Thanks for the advice but this started off as just excessive wax build up!!  Normally I would have gone to ear swab, and have in the past, to stop all the try this, try that    It's just this Canaural looked so like the old Panalog which until now, NOBODY seemed to have heard of.   I used it out in Canada, and it was available when we first came back to the UK, but I just get/got blank faces when I asked about it recently.  

Problem is I made a mistake and saw another vet last time (who prescribed two products - Otodine - cleaner) followed by Peptivet (said on the box to 'improve the physiological state of the skin, counteracts irritation and helps to restore the skin barrier).    Trouble is the latter, Peptivet,  is a pump applicatiion and with a Basset ear, darned awkward to use!  The vet he usually sees (and who gave me Canaural) suggested there was irritation in there, so I guess the previous vet was right re the Peptivet.

The pred. in Canaural would be appropriate re 'irritation'.   He's NOT kicking at his ears btw!

I've used peptivet  and mamy others .easiest way I have found is to remove the top and use a syringe to take up some liquids and then very gently put into the ear. Works every time and its quick and as stress free as dealing woth ears can be
We have floppy ears too although  not as big as basset . Our current treatment is cortavance spray to top up her immunotherapy injections

@ Jeangenie - do you by any chance have a source, for Panalog?   Tks.

I'm old, so I remember Panalog!!
