Which is why, led by our highly experienced veterinary dermatologist, we are dedicated to providing advanced treatments tailored to your dog’s needs.
When Is Dog Ear Surgery Necessary?
Chronic ear infections (otitis) are common in dogs, particularly in breeds with floppy ears, such as Spaniels and Retrievers. If infections become recurrent or fail to respond to medication, surgery may be required to provide lasting relief.
Some common reasons for dog ear surgery include:
- Severe or persistent infections
- Narrowed ear canals (stenosis)
- Growths or polyps within the ear
- Chronic pain or discomfort
At DermVet, we will conduct a thorough assessment of your dog’s condition before recommending surgery. Our veterinary dermatologist has extensive experience diagnosing and treating complex ear diseases, ensuring the best possible outcome.

We offer several surgical options depending on the severity of the condition, such as:

- Total Ear Canal Ablation (TECA) – A last-resort procedure for severe cases where the ear canal is permanently removed to eliminate chronic pain and infection.
- Polyp & Growth Removal – To treat abnormal tissue growths that cause blockages and discomfort.
