Is Quadritop ointment ok to use in your dogs ears and eyes?

Was just given Quadritop ointment for my dog. My vet said that although he cannot officially tell me to use the ointment for anything other than the recommended use....that they used it frequently in his training school for eye med. He then proceed to examine my 11 year old shepherd's ears, and said, oh my, his ears certainly do need some ointment, with a little grin.

This was one of those, IT WORKS, things, but is not the 'sanctioned' use, and other vets may balk at the idea, but that the 'sterile' ointment recommended for eyes, is five times more expensive for a tiny amount, and does not contain as much cortisol as the Quadritop.

In his Words, after the unofficial explanation, I can only give it to you, what you do with it, is up to you.
