Are Canaural ear drops dangerous for my dog if ingested? 
It would depend if your dog also ingested the plastic bottle. If your dog has ingested the drops only, please call your veterinary surgeon for advice who can contact the Veterinary Poisons Information Service for up-to-date information on toxicity of products as information changes. 

Are Canaural ear drops dangerous for my dog? 
They should not be used if your dog has a perforated ear drum. As your vet has prescribed them, then they are likely to be safe for your dog.  
Very rarely any ear preparation can lead to deafness which may be transient or prolonged.  

Any drug can lead to a hypersensitivity reaction and if your dog has a known allergy to any of the products it contains, they should not be used. 
Corticosteroids have a wide range of possible side effects including reduced ability to fight infection, and when they are stopped some animals may develop signs of adrenal insufficiency. If your pet becomes unwell when using or stopping any medication you need to contact your vet. 
It has not been tested in pregnant or lactating dogs, so its use is not recommended. 

Can Canaural cause diarrhoea? 
It is unlikely, although the corticosteroid in the drops may make your dog more susceptible to infections. There are many causes of diarrhoea so if you are concerned contact your veterinary surgeon.
