Can ear canal disease actually cause death to dogs? Come and have a look
A considerable number of pet owners do not pay too much attention to ear canal diseases, thinking that this is a minor problem. At most, there will be a odor, or itchy pets, and there will be no serious harm. Is this really the case? Here I want to tell you that if the ear canal disease occurs, if it is not treated in time, it is still life-threatening!
The ear canal is prone to residual dirt and provides a good environment for bacteria to grow and reproduce, which can easily cause inflammation of the ear canal in the dog. A sick dog will have yellowish-brown secretions in the ears, always shakes its head, showing uneasiness, and the head always turns toward the affected side. If not properly treated, there is a certain chance that hearing loss, deafness, and even invade the brain and cause death. Although the chance of this situation is very low, the owner should not be lucky.
Common ear canal diseases include fungi and ear mites. After infection with ear mites, a large amount of secretions will appear in the ears of dogs, showing unbearable itching and even scratching the skin. If treatment is not done in time, other inflammations may be triggered.
The main symptoms of fungal infection are hair loss around the ears, redness, and a large amount of dandruff. In addition, fungal infection is a zoonotic disease and is very likely to endanger the health of the owner. How about
? Do you still dare to underestimate the ear diseases of dogs? For the health of your pets and family members, all owners must regularly clean the ear canals for your pets to avoid the accumulation of dirt. When abnormal situations occur, go to the hospital and seek help from the doctor in time.
