Canine Ear Infections: Canine ear infections are all too common, caused by bacteria & yeast built-up due to: moisture, wax, allergies, ear mites, excessive hair growth in the ear, or hypothyroidism. Bacteria can grow quite easily in your canine’s ears if moisture becomes trapped in the canal, a typical result of bathing, grooming or swimming. Many dogs also suffer from allergies, both environmental or food related and are pre-disposed to ear infections. Routine cleaning with Veterinary Formula Advanced Ear Therapy is important to reduce the chances your pet will develop these problems. Make sure to keep an eye out; your dog may have a bacterial or yeast infection if he or she is displaying these behaviors: Ear & head scratching. Discolored discharge from the ear. Foul odor. Redness and swelling. Scabs and crust forming around the ear. Hair loss around the ear. Head shaking or tilting. Loss of hearing. Vertigo. Walking in circles. Fill ear canal with Ear Therapy. Massage pet’s ears, especially below ear canal, to allow solution to penetrate. Allow pet to shake head and gently clean inside of ears with a clean towel.
