Meet Barik! Those adorable ears may have been trying to tell us something! Barik came to UrgentVet after experiencing discomfort from an ear infection, and our team was ready to help get him feeling better.
Ear infections are one of the most common reasons pets visit the vet and can cause symptoms such as:
Head shaking
Ear scratching
Redness or odor from the ears
Sensitivity when touched around the head
Changes in behavior due to discomfort
While they may seem minor at first, untreated ear infections can become painful and lead to more serious issues over time.
Thankfully, Barik’s family recognized the signs and brought him in for prompt care!
🚨 Don’t ignore the ear signs! If your pet is shaking their head, scratching excessively, or seems uncomfortable, it may be time for an exam.
📍UrgentVet is here for unexpected illnesses and injuries when your family veterinarian is unavailable.
