Among all the pet diseases, ear infections and inflammation are the most common ones that can cause severe pain and discomfort. External ear canal inflammation, widely known as Otitis Externa, requires professional treatment to eliminate and prevent the ailment. Ear canals of pet cats and dogs should be deeply inspected and treated to avoid recurrence of any infections, which can cause permanent hearing disorders. Lack of proper eradication of infectious pathogens may lead to expensive and complex surgeries.
Primary Reasons Of Ear Infections In Pets
The major cause of harmful ear infectious diseases and ear irritation in pets are scabies mites and ear mites. Ear infections in cats are mainly caused due to ear mites. Allergic skin diseases in pets like Atopy and other food allergies have proven to further cause Otitis Externa in most cases. Ear infections may also occur due to various hormone-based illnesses like keratinization and hypothyroidism disorders, which can impact the generation of the outer skin layer and hairs on the ear surface.
Treatment For Ear Diseases In Dogs and Cats
Initially, samples from the infected animal’s ears should be taken and properly examined using a microscope. This is highly important for precisely identifying the microorganisms and parasites causing the infection. If the pet is quite restless, disrupting visualization of the ear canal after cleaning it, giving it general anaesthesia can be helpful. Proper inspection and visualization of the ear canal are important as administering ear-drops can cause deafness if the pet’s ear is ruptured. Incomplete removal of debris from ears using professional veterinary equipment in Dubai can also lead to improper curing of Otitis.
