Despite their strong immunity, cats are at risk of contracting infectious diseases. To treat diseases of the eyes and ears, experts recommend using drugs that have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Anandin for cats is a universal remedy that not only helps cope with pathogenic microorganisms, but also strengthens the pet’s immunity.
Description of the drug
Anandin is a unique broad-spectrum agent that has an antiviral and restorative effect. The drug is used to treat pathologies of bacterial origin, in acute or chronic form. It helps to avoid the development of complications after illnesses and completely eliminates the inflammatory process.
The medicine helps restore the defenses of the pet's body by activating the formation of B cells of the immune system.
Anandin is widely used to treat wounds and burns, restore the skin and fur of cats. When used in complex treatment, the drug neutralizes the effects of other components and reduces the production of toxins. This action helps reduce the impact on the pet’s nervous system and avoid stress while taking a large number of medications.
Ear drops
Ear drops are available in two versions:
- Anandin is designed for the treatment of inflammation of the external auditory canal, occurring in acute or chronic form;
- Anandin Plus is designed to treat ear scabies caused by otodectosis mites.
Their main difference is in their composition. In addition to glucaminopropylcarbacridone, ordinary ear drops also contain gramicidin C. The substance is an antibiotic. It is effective against staphylococci, streptococci and other harmful bacteria. In this regard, the drug is successfully used to treat otitis media caused by bacterial flora.
In addition to the listed components, Anandin Plus also contains permethrin. This substance has acaricidal activity, that is, it destroys mites, including those that cause ear scabies. The drug is effectively used to treat otodectosis, as well as bacterial otitis media that arise as a result of complications.
Features of application
Anandin should be instilled into each ear canal, 3-5 drops. The number of drops depends on the weight of the dog. The medicine should be instilled once a day for 3-7 days, depending on the severity of the disease and accompanying symptoms. When treating otodectosis, you need to clear the ear canals of scabs before the procedure. To do this, you can use a special lotion or saline solution.
When instilled, a cold solution can cause discomfort to your pet, so it is recommended to warm it in your palms before using it. Do not use the drug if the eardrum is pierced.
Note! It is strictly forbidden to put ear drops into your eyes. Choose the right drug for treatment at the pharmacy.

Reviews about the drug
Cat owners talk about the effectiveness of drops
Inga: I picked up my kitten on the street. It is clear that we had to get rid of worms and fleas, and the baby’s eyes were not all right. The veterinary pharmacy recommended Anandin and said that it removes pus well. And indeed, on the third day the eyes cleared up, the discharge decreased, and then disappeared completely. The cat did not experience any discomfort and did not even struggle during the burial. The drug is good, tested.
Konstantin: We have a white Persian cat, she constantly has problems with her eyes. The doctor says chronic conjunctivitis. And what is especially unpleasant is that the cat cannot tolerate many medications, the eyes turn red, and watery eyes begin to bleed. During the next exacerbation I decided to try these drops, the reviews seem to be quite good. I liked that there was no irritation or pain, the cat tolerated the procedure calmly. I took the course and my eye seemed to improve. Now I will use it as needed, especially since the drops are inexpensive.
Tatyana: This was my first time encountering rhinitis in a cat. The doctor decided that it was an allergic phenomenon. He prescribed antihistamine injections and Anandin as a concomitant remedy. Together the drugs worked great. In 4 days the cat recovered completely and became happier. It is not very convenient to put it into the nose, and the bottle leaves much to be desired. I would prefer a plastic bottle with a dispenser. The price is very affordable, which is nice.

It is unacceptable to use ear drops to treat eyes. Injections should be given to the cat using a sterile syringe in compliance with all aseptic measures.
