Welcome to the summer edition of the Millpledge Companion.
First off, we have Uribalance™ back in stock. This easy to administer gel is perfect for helping maintain acidic urine levels in dogs and cats. Read more on the opposite page.
We are delighted in the response to the new Oculeze™ Eye Drops. Pets like us can be allergic to pollen and suffer from hay fever which can cause inflamed and irritated eyes, as well as irritated skin and airways. Eye infections are generally more common in the summer months as bacteria thrive in warmer weather. Treatment maybe required with the additional aid of an eye lubricant such as Oculeze™ to soothe and aid healing.
Malazinc™ Ear Wipes are also new and complement Malazinc™ Ear Drops to provide a broad spectrum cleansing regime to all animals. They are available in handy packs of 10 or economical tubs of 100. The accompanying article on page 12 is well worth a read.
There’s a fun competition too if you fancy winning a tasty selection of chocs and treats.

Easy to administer gel
Many types of bacteria require a stable and relatively neutral pH level in order to survive. Thus, when you lower the pH in your pet’s urine, many bacteria are killed as they can no longer thrive as the urine flows normally through the urinary tract. This normal cleansing naturally eliminates the bacteria and the infection without having to resort to specific antibacterial drugs.
Uri-Balance™ provides a natural solution to the acidic imbalances, returning normal bladder and urinary tract function. Supports proper urinary tract health when dietary changes are impractical, as with multiple cat households or refusal by finicky eaters.

Malazinc™ Ear drops
Malazinc™ has been designed and formulated for use in the ear. It can be used to maintain a normal ear canal environment. Malazinc™ delivers a unique micronutrient blend of topical, safe ingredients that targets the fungus, bacteria and odour. The solution breaks down the fungus and bacteria utilising Boric acid, Taurine, L-lysine and Zinc which prevents bacteria and yeast from thriving whilst assisting the body in providing the healthy building blocks for returning normal condition. Micronutrients are suspended and delivered at a pH of 4.5 creating a prohibitive environment for the fungus and bacteria to develop.
• Natural formula.
• Non-staining, not oily or greasy.
• Eliminates odour causing bacteria.
• Reduces wax.
• Maintains normal ear canal and epithelium condition.
• Antibacterial & Antifungal.
• Soothes and comforts irritation.
Presented in an easy to use squeezable dropper bottle that helps to dispense accurate amounts direct to the inner and middle ear surface or ear canal. The viscosity is such that the animal’s natural head movement will distribute the solution uniformly to all surfaces following gentle massage of the ear canal after application. Excess fluid can be removed using absorbent swabs.
Malazinc™ Testimonial
“I have used Malazinc™ ear drops for many patients, mostly for dogs but on cats as well. I have had great success in using it for both otitis externa and media (middle ear) assessed using the PSPP system (Primary, Secondary, Predisposing and Perpetuating causes) with allergy as the primary cause and Malassezia as the secondary cause. The product can be sold over the counter and I can add steroids and / or antibiotics to the bottle if required.
Malazinc™ is highly effective, tried and tested solution and very easy to use.
Targets:
• Fungus
• Bacteria
• Irritation • Odour
I do not have to clean the ears prior to use. Having used the product for some time, I see results often by the next visit and certainly within 2 to 4 weeks of use. I also use it frequently for patients that have experienced a recurrence of signs, successfully. Initial treatment is once to twice daily, reducing down, perhaps to as little as weekly, to maintain and prevent recurrence of signs. I would definitely use this product again and would recommend it to all veterinarians.”

EAR PROBLEMS? Let’s clear this up…
As we all know, it is a very common scenario in practice to be involved with a patient that has an ear problem, and most dogs, cats and rabbits will have to undergo ear treatment at some stage in their lives.
It may be that this involves a preventative ear product to be used as part of the daily grooming routine, as some breeds are more predisposed to having ear problems. Those breeds that have longer and / or hairy ears, have reduced air circulation within the ear canal and this is likely to create a dark, warm, moist environment that bacteria and fungus adore, resulting in an ear infection. This can affect those longer ear breeds such as lop eared rabbits or cocker spaniel dogs .
The same is true of dogs that swim regularly during the summer months as their ear canals become wet and damp with often contaminated water, and the ear canal has trouble drying out, especially if they have long ears too!.
An ear product may be used for long-term maintenance, particularly after an ear condition has been rectified, and administration of the product is required to prevent reoccurrence. The most common reason to use an ear product, however, is due to an infection within the ear, either caused by a bacterial infection or fungal infection and this requires an ear product to address the situation as soon as possible. If not addressed, it will cause ill health and severe discomfort to the patient, potentially causing a loss of hearing or permanent damage within the ear canal.
If a patient presents to the practice with a suspected ear problem, it is imperative that a physical examination is undertaken, with the use of an auroscope to check that there are no foreign bodies present (FB). A FB is anything that is not usually found in the ear, the most common of which are grass seeds, which are prevalent during the summer months. As well as trauma, these grass seeds can cause inflammation, infection and severe discomfort to the patient. The grass seed will need to be removed manually under sedation / general anaesthesia, and then the ear canal examined and appropriate ear preparations administered accordingly to address the resulting ear inflammation and possible infection.
Other trauma that may be seen are aural haematomas. This is where the patient is experiencing discomfort within the ear canal, and in an effort to rid itself of this, the pet will shake it’s head
vigorously. This shaking damages the blood vessels within the ear flap, causing it to swell with blood. A medical or surgical procedure will be required to repair the haematoma, and the underlying ear condition that initiated the process, will then need to be addressed. An aural haematoma is more common in the summer months due to warmer environmental conditions causing ear problems, or as a result of a FB, but of course can happen at any time of the year.
In all the above scenarios, it is highly likely that different products will have to be used. A topical ear product that will treat an ear infection will contain products such as antibiotics and antifungal agents, as well as possibly steroids to treat the inflammation. It is unlikely that this product will be suitable for long-term use, nor will it be able to be used as a preventative / routine grooming product, therefore additional products may be required. It may also be the case that the active ingredients will only be able to treat certain bacteria and may not treat many different varieties / be broad spectrum. If this is the case, a bacterial culture and sensitivity swab may be required, to be tested in a lab to determine which bacteria are present, and what antibiotics they are susceptible to, in order to select the most appropriate product for each given situation.
An ear cleaner will also be required to remove all the debris and dirt and muck these situations create, in order for the active agent of the treatment to reach the target area.
Often all of these products contain harsh chemicals that can sting on application, causing great discomfort, especially if the ear is already inflamed. These chemicals do not smell very nice (to the user) and a fragrance is often added to make it more ‘appealing’, but this can also sting on application.
The instructions should be read closely before application as not all are suitable for administration in an ear that has a ruptured tympanic membrane ( the ear drum). The difficulty with this, is that often it is impossible to view the tympanic membranes (due to dirt / infection) so it’s integrity is often unknown. This will prevent the use of many topical ear products available on the market.
Malazinc™
Malazinc™ products have been created to not only address the ear problems encountered in practice, but also to address the restrictions of all the products otherwise available.
Malazinc™ contains boric acid and a pH of 4.5. When applied, it creates a very slightly acidic environment within the ear (but with no discomfort to the patient). This means, that due to the fact that bacteria and fungi thrive in an alkaline environment, they simply cannot flourish nor grow in the inhospitable environment that Malazinc™ has now created.
Malazinc™ does not contain harsh chemicals nor any fragrance, so it does not sting on application. It also contains l-lysine and taurine, which addresses the odours that infected ears can produce and limits wax formation, which is often a contributing factor in ear infections.
The Zinc part of the product is used to soothe the irritated skin, inhibit bacterial growth, promote healthy epithelial cells to form, helping the damaged ear canal to heal. Zinc is a wonderful ingredient, that we use in many of our products and we have a range that is suitable for skin problems and a dental range as well.
As Malazinc™ contains zero antibiotics and no steroids, it can be used as preventative product, a long-term product, and also to rectify an existing condition. There is no ototoxicity associated with Malazinc, making it ideal to use in all situations, regardless of the condition of the ear canal, as well as being suitable for dogs, cats and rabbits.
Malazinc™ ear drops can be used twice daily whilst a current ear problem exists, and then twice weekly to maintain a healthy ear. Malazinc™ can be used long-term with no contraindications.
Malazinc™ textured wipes can be used to clean the ears prior to administration of the drops, or for convenience when travelling etc. The wipes may also be used regularly on a daily basis and for long-term use.

A medium weight knitted veterinary bandage. Designed specifically for use on multiple animal species, with a variety of uses, from a lightweight protection bandage to the higher support/compression or immobilisation bandage, such as used in a Robert Jones. Knit-Fix™ construction has the open knitted cellular structure for good ventilation with non-slip, nonfray, highly conforming qualities.
A high quality, dense ‘warp knitted’, multi-purpose veterinary bandage. Designed specifically for use on multiple animal species. Thick and strong with a unique structure, providing excellent conforming and non-slip properties. Highly recommended for support compression and/ or immobilisation. Knit-Firm™ is longer, stronger and heavier than Knit-Fix™, so ideal for larger animals.
DK01025
Knitted structure and composition of thread: Provides warmth and comfort without overheating the patient.
Non-fray, with fast edges, resistant to tearing and ‘stringing’: Reduces risks of ‘catching’ or impeding circulation.
It is advisable to always use a true conforming bandage – one that can be stretched to maximum, released and then remain in much the same condition as the original bandage, without allowing holes to be poked through it. It will have the ability to contour easily yet allow for essential movement.
Knit-Fix™ & Knit-Firm™ bandages are Individually wrapped: Reducing the risk of contamination.
Conforming bandages do however have some content of elastic, so it is essential not to apply too tightly, as this may interfere with circulation. If sufficient padding has been applied it should eliminate the possibility of bandaging too tightly and will be well tolerated by the patient.
