No need to worry

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX
Thanks for writing in to us.

It is good that you have rinsed your ear after application of drops by accident.
Most likely you are safe and nothing serious is going to happen.

However certain details are important to know
1. What ear condition you suffer from and what ear drops have been given to you.
2. Which drops meant for your dog (name of drops) and how many drops were put in to your ear.

Please be reassured that there is no harm if a few drops went in and you rinsed after realizing your mistake.

Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.

Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.

Regards,
Dr.Vivek
