Dogs and Ear Infection

If you’ve ever had an ear infection then you known how painful it can be. Not only does it cause irritation, inflammation and intense pain, it can also cause you to be grouchy and snappy to others. The same can happen to our pets. Dogs with ear infection or ear aches may start to act aggressively or even non responsive. They may also scratch at their ears or head excessively and shake their head from side to side. If you see any of these symptoms, call your vet to schedule a checkup right away. Ear infections are painful and need immediate attention. Some dogs may need to take antibiotics for their ear ache. Other dogs may not have an infection. They may simply need their ears cleaned or to have ear drops placed in the ears for a set amount of time. Talk with your animal hospital East Dallas, TX for more information.
