Ask the Vet: What should I do if I notice brown discharge in my pet’s ear or constantly shaking his head? 🐶🐱

If you’re noticing brown discharge (aka “gunk”) in your pet’s ear or they’re constantly shaking their head, it’s a sign something’s not right. This could mean a bacterial infection, yeast overgrowth, or even ear mites. It’s super important not to just wipe it away and hope for the best — the real problem will still be there and could get worse. Sometimes head shaking is the first clue we get before things get really painful for them.

If you’re seeing brown gunk, noticing a bad smell, or your pet just can’t stop shaking their head, give us a call! We’ll take a look, figure out what’s going on, and help get them feeling better fast.

Question: Why does my pet scoot?

Answer: Scooting can be cute, but it's more often an indication of discomfort than just a funny behavior. A**l gland issues, tapeworms, and itching from allergies to fleas, food, or environmental allergens can all result in scooting or tail-chasing. Some pets will also scoot after having a bowel movement. If your pet is scooting, especially as a new behavior, please schedule an exam so that we can rule out a medical problem before assuming they're just clowning around!

Call us today if your pet is abnormally scooting! 🐶🐱

Ask the Vet: My pet is constantly shedding! Is there anything I can do to help manage it?

We totally get it! As fellow pet parents, shedding can be so frustrating! While all pets shed to some degree, some definitely seem to leave a little more fur behind than others. Regular brushing is a big help! It removes loose hair and keeps the skin healthy and spreads natural oils through their coat.

A good diet can also make a difference. Pets with poor nutrition often have dry, flaky skin and more shedding. There are even some supplements, like omega-3s, that can support skin and coat health.

If the shedding seems excessive or you're seeing bald spots, itching, or skin changes, it's worth bringing them in—sometimes it can be a sign of an underlying issue. Just give us a call if you're noticing any of these changes!

Ask the Vet: What can I do for my pet's anxiety?

Pet anxiety is super common. Thankfully, there are things we can do to help. First, we try to figure out what’s triggering it. Is it loud noises, being left alone, new people or pets? Once we have a clearer understanding, we can talk through options like behavior modification training, calming supplements, or even medications if needed.

Sometimes small changes at home—like giving them a safe, quiet space or using calming pheromone diffusers—can make a big difference. Every pet’s a little different, so we’ll work together to find what helps your furry friend feel more comfortable.

If you've noticed anxiety in your pet, schedule a visit to discuss with one of our veterinarians. There are a lot of options and the earlier we start the better the outcome!
