Mometamax is for the ears. If your do has an allergic dermatitis then he may need an oral antibiotic, anti-histamine, corticosteroid, and/or other medications to help clear up the skin issue. You could also bathe him with a medicated dog shampoo and see if that helps his skin.

Hopefully it is the same medication, although there have been lawsuits about mislabeled and counterfeit medications with online pharmacies. Also, you do need a prescription from your veterinarian in order to purchase these products. I would recommend visiting with your veterinarian, as there is a possibility they may price match for you. Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.

Mometamax can be used in cats "off label". Meaning the label does not state that it can be used in cats only because the company did not do clinical trials on it in that species (usually because it is very costly). I do no think this was a mistake and I would go ahead and use it as prescribed.

It sounds like you may need a prescription strength medicine to help your dog become more comfortable. Your vet will need to examine your dog to ensure they are otherwise healthy (and to start a valid client/ patient/ vet relationship to legally dispense medicine) and then will decide which medicine would work best. There are newer products such as Apoquel and Cytopoint which may be appropriate. Your vet may also suggest an eye ointment to apply. You are welcome to request a consultation with one of the Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach veterinarians to prepare for your vet visit.

Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Augmentin or Clavamox are typically effective for skin infections, but Cephalexin is generally more commonly used. Common ophthalmic antibiotics often include Neomycin or Orbifloxacin. I hope this is helpful!
