Pets especially dogs and cats have very sensitive ears. Their ears permit them to hear sounds people can only dream of hearing. Unluckily, their ears are also susceptible to infections. Dogs and cats can become despondent from the pain and uneasiness linked with ear infections. The outer ears or the pinna and the inner ear can develop various problems. Ear problems can distress dogs from any breed, age and size. Dogs with long, floppy ears and dogs that spend a lot of time in water, though, are more likely to have problematical ears.
The chief type of ear diseases in pets is ear infections. Infections may be caused by diverse kinds of yeast and bacteria. Ear infections occur when bacteria and yeast on the skin gets into inner ear and thrive there. The canal may have become undermined and lose some of its capability to fight infection as:-
- They became wet (from bathing, or from a swim)
- They gets allergies
- Due to skin disease
- Injury by scratch, insect bite or from various other causes
- Shaking of the head and ears
- Scratching or rubbing the ears and face
- Discharge or even bleeding from the ears
- Foul smell coming from the ears
- Sensitivity to touching in the ear area
- General irritability
The first and most vital step in treating an ear infection is to establish its cause. Ear mites can frequently be seen directly through the oto-scope (that instrument we use to look into your pet's ear). The cause of other types of infections is determined by examining a stained ear discharge under the microscope. Once the cause is established we can proceed with the treatment.
