Ketoconazole Ear & Skin Flush for Dogs and Cats
Keto-C® Tris Flush is a medicated topical solution designed for gentle cleansing and flushing of the ears and skin of dogs and cats. Its liquid format makes it useful for localized care where debris and buildup need to be flushed away rather than cleaned with a shampoo or wipe.
With 0.1% Ketoconazole, the formula provides antifungal care while helping clean areas where a rinseable topical solution is more practical.
Why Use an Ear and Skin Flush?
Different areas of the body require different approaches to topical care. A liquid flush can reach skin surfaces, creases, and ear areas where applying a shampoo or using a wipe may be less practical.
The flushing action also helps loosen and remove accumulated debris and excess material from the area being cleaned. After application, cotton or another absorbent material can be used to gently remove the excess solution and loosened debris.
This makes a medicated flush a useful format when targeted cleansing is needed without bathing the entire animal.
The Role of Ketoconazole in Keto-C® Tris Flush
Ketoconazole is an antifungal ingredient used in veterinary dermatology formulations for conditions responsive to antifungal care.
Keto-C® Tris Flush contains 0.1% Ketoconazole in a topical solution formulated for the ears and skin. Combining an antifungal ingredient with a flush format allows the product to provide medicated cleansing while physically helping remove debris from the application area.
Ear Flush vs. Shampoo vs. Medicated Wipes
Choosing the appropriate topical format depends partly on the location and amount of skin that needs care.
Ear and skin flushes provide a liquid application that can flow across localized areas and help remove debris. Medicated shampoos are better suited to bathing larger areas of the skin and coat. Medicated wipes provide direct application to smaller external areas such as paws, skin folds, and other accessible surfaces.
For broader bathing needs, explore Keto-C® Medicated Shampoo.
For targeted external skin care between baths, Keto-C® Wipes provide the chlorhexidine and ketoconazole combination in a convenient pre-moistened format.
Keto-C® Tris Flush vs. Keto-C® Flush
Although both products are topical cleansing solutions, their active formulations are different.
Keto-C® Tris Flush contains 0.1% Ketoconazole and is formulated for gentle cleansing and flushing of the ears and skin of dogs and cats.
Keto-C® Flush combines Ketoconazole with Chlorhexidine and is positioned for topical skin cleansing where the combination of antifungal and antibacterial ingredients is appropriate.

Because these formulas are not interchangeable in every situation, follow the product directions and your veterinarian's recommendations when choosing topical care for an ongoing ear or skin concern.
When Ear or Skin Problems Need Veterinary Evaluation
Routine topical cleansing does not identify the underlying cause of persistent ear or skin problems. Repeated ear debris, unusual odor, redness, swelling, discomfort, frequent head shaking, persistent scratching, or worsening skin irritation can indicate a problem that requires veterinary evaluation.
Avoid contact with the eyes and mucous membranes. Do not allow your pet to lick the treated area until it is dry. If irritation develops or increases, discontinue use and consult your veterinarian.
