Ear Infections in Dogs

-

There are two types of ear infections in dogs: otitis externa, which is the inflammation of a dog's external ear canal, and otitis media, inflammation of the dog’s middle ear.

Otitis externa is a common and frustrating problem that can lead to more serious otitis media if not adequately treated. Identifying the cause and correct treatment of otitis externa can completely resolve clinical signs and prevent the recurrence or development of more serious diseases.

Most dogs with otitis externa present head shaking and pruritus and the owner can also notice it by the foul smell coming from the dog ears.

In this case, an otoscopic exam is required as well as a therapy.

Your vet will be able to give your dog the most suitable treatment. Remember not to underrate ear problems because they are very simple to cure if taken in advance before they become more serious infections.

Although sheep aren’t necessarily an animal that you see every day—maybe only in certain regions of the world—there are quite a lot of them.  There are over 1 billion sheep in the world!  They are useful, as we can get wool and meat from these animals. Despite there still being a large number of sheep in the United States and worldwide, there aren’t quite as many as there used to be.
