Causes of Ear Infections in Pets
- Allergies. Many pets, especially dogs, are prone to allergies from pollen, dust, or certain food items. These allergies can lead to inflammation in the ear, creating a suitable environment for infections.
- Parasites. Ear mites are tiny creatures that can live inside a pet's ear. Their presence can irritate, leading to bacterial or yeast infections.
- Moisture. After baths or swims, water trapped in the pet's ear can pave the way for bacterial growth, resulting in infections.
- Autoimmune Diseases. Certain autoimmune conditions can cause inflammation of the pet's ear, making them more susceptible to infections.
- Hormonal Imbalances. Disorders like hypothyroidism can affect the ear's environment, potentially leading to infections.
- Foreign Bodies. Grass seeds, dirt, or any other foreign particles entering the ear can irritate and, subsequently, infection.
Symptoms of Ear Infections in Animals
An early diagnosis can prevent complications and ensure your pet's comfort and long-term health.
Here's what you should look for:
- Frequent scratching of the affected ear.
