Many people like to keep dogs, dogs are also very fragile, they will be sick like people. I heard from a friend that his poodle got ear disease somehow. The owner of the dog didn’t know what to do. He was worried that his dog’s ear disease could be contagious.
Dog ear disease is not contagious to people, if you feel a little uncomfortable should be psychological effect. Examples of ear diseases dogs can have are: otitis externa, otitis media and ear mites.
Otitis externa is inflammation of the external ear canal, symptoms of itching ears, dogs always shake their heads, uneasy feeling, always take the paw to scratch the ear, but also odor. More than that, dogs may also suffer from fungal otitis, such as penicillin, trexomycin, etc., may cause dogs with fungal otitis.
Dogs with ear disease may have ear mites in their ears. A healthy dog will have a light pink tint inside its ears and no smell. If your dog is constantly shaking its head, scratching its ears, and has a foul smell in its ears, it could be otitis media or ear mites. Dog got ear mite to the pet hospital to buy ear drops can be. Dog ear mites are mainly caused by ectoparasites, which can lead to an increase in black secretions in the dog’s ears and itching in the dog’s ears.
Generally through the ear canal secretion examination, the inspection results are not wrong, the treatment can first use the dog ear cleaning liquid, clean the dog ear canal, and then drop the dog ear drops, generally for the dog drops one to two weeks the dog can be cured. It is best to keep your dog on a leash during treatment to prevent him from scratching his ears.
