The Propythium Ear Cleaner combines the antifungal and antibacterial power of Pythium oligandrum with pharmaceutical-grade olive oil. It helps relieve dogs, cats, and horses from symptoms associated with fungal or bacterial ear infections while gently cleansing and moisturizing the ear canal.

Propythium contains Pythium oligandrum — a beneficial, non-pathogenic, algae-like microorganism that helps manage fungal and bacterial conditions. It’s designed for topical use, including in the ears of dogs, cats, and horses.

Pythium oligandrum is a microscopic, yeast-like organism that naturally lives in soil. Of over 50 known species, this one is particularly beneficial — found around plant roots worldwide.

It works through mycoparasitism, meaning it consumes other fungi for survival. It attacks harmful fungi, extracts nutrients (such as nitrogen and carbon), kills them in the process, and then produces zoospores that actively seek out additional fungal targets and their spores.

P. oligandrum also has antibacterial properties — it secretes enzymes that inhibit bacterial growth in the area while it works. Studies show that, although it reduces pathogenic bacteria, it does not disrupt the natural bacterial flora (Vallance et al., 2009 & 2012). When resources (yeast or fungi) are depleted, it encapsulates and leaves the area, allowing normal microflora activity to resume.

Ingredients: Olea europaea fruit oil, Helianthus annuus seed oil, Zea mays substrate, Pythium oligandrum, tocopherols.

Application: Apply Propythium Ear Cleaner directly into the ear canal for as long as symptoms persist (typically no more than five days). Afterward, it can be used occasionally as a moisturizing ear cleaner.
