Shake the bottle well before use. At the beginning of treatment, hair surrounding or covering the lesions must be clipped; this should be repeated during treatment if necessary.
Ears
Clean the auditory canal and place a few drops of Surolan into the ear twice a day. For infections caused by Otodectes cynotis, instill five drops twice daily for 14 days. Massage the ear and the auditory canal gently but thoroughly to obtain optimum distribution of the drug.
Skin
Having ensured the area to be treated is clean, apply a few drops of Surolan (depending on lesion size) twice a day and rub well.
Do not discontinue the treatment until a few days after complete disappearance of the clinical symptoms. In some obstinate cases, 2 to 3 weeks treatment may be necessary.
Where ear mite infestation is present, consideration should be given to treating both ears even if infestation is only apparent in one ear.
