Ear infections in dogs
EAR infections are common conditions in dogs, especially those with floppy ears such as Cocker Spaniels.
Scratching, and head shaking and whining are symptoms of the problem.
Depending on the area affected, there are three types of ear infections, known formally as otitis externa, media, and interna.
The most affected area is the external portion of the ear. The tympanic membrane separates the external auditory canal from the middle and inner ear. If affected, the infection can spread to the middle ear and from here affect the inner ear and cause injuries that cause loss of balance.
It is important to recognise the signs of otitis.
Affected dogs may show signs such as: Head shaking, scratching at the affected ear, dark discharge and odour from the ear, redness and swelling of the ear canal, itchiness and crusting or scabs in the ears. Moisture, which can create a prime growing environment for bacteria and yeast.
Allergies, autoimmune diseases, endocrine disorders, foreign bodies, excessive cleaning, excessive cleaning and use of unsuitable products and ear injuries. If your dog is showing any of the common signs of ear infections, it’s important to visit your veterinarian in Alicante as soon as possible.
Examination with an otoscope, which allows evaluation of the ear canal and eardrum.
Microscopic examination of samples taken by swabbing the ear and culture of samples from the ear are some things which are necessary. If it affects the middle/inner ear, Xrays will be necessary, including CT or MRI.
Dog-sitters for mature pets
DOG-SITTERS can play a vital role for elderly pets. This is Jonti ,he is 16 years old. Still fit and loves to walk around, but there are times when he needs to rest at home. Rather short sighted now and a little deaf, being able to stay at home where all is familiar is a great comfort to both Jonti and his owner.
If you’re planning a trip register now to find petsitters in time. Whether your trip is short or long, you’ll know that sometimes you must leave pets at home. Young and senior pets in particular benefit from staying at home, so they can follow their routines undisturbed. Join our pet and housesitting network, and the sitters come for free!
