Questions owners ask

Can Neomycin + Nystatin + Thiostrepton + Triamcinolone cause loss of hearing in dogs?: 61 reports link the two, but a report alone does not prove the medicine was the cause: other illnesses, other medicines or coincidence can be involved. Your vet can judge it for your animal.
