Just like humans, dogs’ ears are complex, especially in long-eared breeds. Dogs frequently suffer from inflammation of the external ear canal, known as otitis externa, which requires expert care.
Unfortunately, in some cases, otitis externa cannot be managed with medication alone and may necessitate ear surgery.
At DermVet, we specialise in treating generalised skin conditions, including otitis externa. With the expertise and knowledge not only to address the issue but also to prevent its recurrence.
If you suspect your dog is suffering from otitis externa, it’s crucial to book an appointment without delay. The condition can become extremely painful and, if left untreated, may cause permanent damage. While I will strive to treat your dog non-invasively, sometimes surgery is the only option to ensure the best quality of life for your pet. Rest assured, all treatment options will be gone over with you to determine the best course of action.
Our process begins with a comprehensive consultation with you and your dog to diagnose or confirm the diagnosis. Following this, I will outline the necessary treatment plan and discuss any required surgical procedures.
Our commitment at DermVet is to provide your dog with the highest standard of care.
I understand that dealing with your pet’s health issues can be stressful, and DermVet aims to make the process as smooth and reassuring as possible. At DermVet, we also believe in the power of prevention. We’ll provide you with advice on how to maintain your dog’s ear health and prevent future occurrences of otitis externa or other ear-related issues.
