One of the most common dog ear problems is the dog ear infection. Veterinarians diagnose this type of infection through the sample collection of dog ear discharge, which can only be examined using a microscope. This diagnosis test will determine the cause of the infection.
Some of the known causes are bacteria, ear mites, yeast, or an occurring ear tumor. It the infection was caused by an ear tumor, a surgery may be required to ease the dog’s pain.
Veterinarians prescribe antifungal or antibiotic medicines to reduce the bacterial or yeast growth. Aside from this, an allergy treatment can be done if the dog infection is caused by an allergy.
