Ear Cleaning

Did you know that ear conditions are one of the most common reasons for dog owners to bring their pets to see us?

Whether it has suddenly occurred or developed gradually, if your dog has an ear problem, he or she will not be a happy member of your household.

If you have ever had ear ache you will appreciate that this can be a painful condition that at best is mildly irritating and at worst extremely debilitating.

As a conscientious owner, what preventative measures can you take?

If you see changes in the amount or colour of your dog's ear wax, notice a different smell or see any debris in your pet's ear, it is important that you consult us.

If your dog is particularly susceptible to ear conditions then regular use of an appropriate ear cleaner will probably be beneficial and, in some cases, may be essential.

If you think your dog may have a problem with their ears, do not hesitate to call your surgery or book an appointment with our Practice Nurse for a free check and some advice.
