It is more important to find out the cause than to treat it.

When a dog gets sick, it's more important to find the cause than to treat it.

For example, the most common ear disease in dogs, there are fungi, bacteria, mites and other causes, if you buy an ointment on the Internet to treat ear mites in dogs, but the dog is infected by fungi, then there is no therapeutic effect.

Therefore, it is best to take the dog to the pet hospital for ear canal examination at the first time to determine whether it is an ear mite or a bacterial infection.

1. Determine the type of diseased ear:

1. First, otoscopy:

It is used to identify the degree of ear mites and earwax. If it is an ear mite, the body of the mite can be seen directly under the otoscope.

2. If ear mites are not seen, cytological examination should be carried out:

The doctor will take a sample of earwax from the ear with a cotton swab, put it on a slide, stain it, examine it under a microscope to see if there are fungi and bacteria, and then determine what kind of bacteria is infecting the dog's ear canal.

2. Share the process of eggplant treatment:

Originally thought that the eggplant's ears were infected with ear mites, at home with their own use of Vick ear float and ear skin spirit treatment for a few days, feeling that the eggplant's ears have been very clean. Taking advantage of the rest day, I took the eggplant to Ann's pet doctor and wanted President Sun to check it carefully again to see if it was cured.

Smell the fragrant smell of ear bleaching, pull open the eggplant's ears to see that they are very clean. For the sake of prudence, the dean gave the eggplant an otoscopy and found that there was yellow suppuration deep in the bottom of the left ear canal of the eggplant, and then asked the nurse sister to do an ear canal staining microscopy: cocci and Malassezia were found.

Wow, the original is not ear mites, but cocci and Malassezia infection ah, fortunately came to the hospital to check it!

See the figure below:

President Sun and his medical brother gave us a lesson about eggplant ear canal bacterial infection. Cytological examination of

bacterial overgrowth showed that the keratinocytes were surrounded by cocci.

That is to say, the original ear mite treatment drugs made at home should be changed to bacterial treatment drugs, and the original ear drift should continue to be used, together with the treatment of Vick's Erkeshu. Since we brought our own Vick's ear float, President Sun opened a box of Vick's ear cream for eggplant.

3. Share the treatment process of eggplant:

Thanks to the doctors and nurses of Anan pet doctor, every time we go to see a doctor, we will demonstrate the process and steps of medication care to our owners, so that the owners can do the right care for the dog baby when they come home.
