Chattahoochee animal clinic monthly specials

This past week at Chattahoochee, we have been seeing a lot of ear infections(otitis). Otitis is a disease common in the ear canals of pets, which can be painful, smelly and itchy. Otitis causes irritation to the lining the ear canal causing inflammation. When the ear canal becomes inflamed the canal produces more wax which in turn is a breeding ground for yeast and bacterial overgrowth. Yeast and bacteria can lead to excessive itchiness and more inflammation, causing the pet to have self-induced trauma including: headshaking, pawing and rubbing of the ears.

Any pet can develop otitis regardless of the shape of the ear, exposure to water, or the amount of hair inside of the ear canal. Pet's that suffer from seasonal allergies are more prone to developing recurrent ear infections. So, monitoring at home for the signs of ear inflammation are important, especially during the summer months.
