🐾 Ear Infections in Dogs & Cats – Know the Signs Early 🐾
Ear infections are one of the most common conditions we see in both dogs and cats—and they can become quite painful if not addressed early.
🔍 Watch for these signs:
• Head shaking or tilting
• Scratching or rubbing at the ears
• Redness or swelling inside the ear
• Odor or discharge
• Sensitivity when ears are touched
⚠️ What causes ear infections?
Yeast, bacteria, allergies, ear mites, and moisture buildup are common causes. In many cases, there’s an underlying issue that needs to be addressed to prevent recurrence.
🩺 Why proper diagnosis matters:
Not all ear infections are the same. we perform ear cytology (microscopic evaluation) to identify the exact cause and guide targeted treatment. We perform ear culture in chronic infections.
💊 Treatment approach:
Most ear infections are managed with ear cleaning and targeted medications. Oral medications are only used when necessary—ensuring safe and effective care.
🏡 We provide calm, in-home ear exams and treatment, so your pet can stay relaxed in a familiar environment.
If you’re noticing any of these signs, it’s best to get it checked sooner rather than later—early care makes a big difference.
