The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved the first drug to treat yeast ear infections in dogs.
DuOtic is also the first ear infection medication that does not contain an antibiotic, the FDA said in its approval announcement.
The drug will allow veterinarians to avoid using antibiotics when treating dogs with yeast-only ear infections, the agency said.
DuOtic is a combination of an antifungal drug, terbinafine, and an anti-inflammatory steroid called betamethasone.
