Why Your Dog’s Ear Health Matters
Dogs, chiefly those with long and floppy ears, have uniquely intricate ear structures that can make them more susceptible to ear issues, such as otitis externa—a painful condition involving inflammation of the ear canal.
Without timely treatment, this problem can cause severe discomfort and may even result in lasting damage, underscoring the importance of early intervention.
Spotting the Signs of Trouble
Is your dog scratching its ears, shaking its head, or showing signs of ear discharge or a foul smell? These could be symptoms of otitis externa. Early detection is key to preventing further complications.
