Itchy Skin & Ear infection

If you have pets, you know that they can get itchy skin & ear infections occasionally. It's common for there to be no obvious sign of what caused the problem. However, our veterinarian can sometimes help you figure out what caused the condition. Having itchy skin can be highly irritating to pets and disturb their quality of life. Getting ear infections can be painful, resulting in several symptoms. To help your pet with itchy skin & ear infections, call our office in Edmond, OK, to see the veterinarian for the problem.

Itchy Skin & Ear infection

Itchy Skin

Itchy skin often develops because of an allergy. Pets may react to something they have come into contact with and begin itching their skin. They may also have other symptoms, like a runny nose or watery eyes. If you have started using anything new lately, your pets may have come into contact with it, causing a reaction.

Did they come into contact with clothing or blankets? What about licking dishes? Did they get into anything they shouldn't have? It may also be something that your pet is eating or rolling in outside. For example, grass allergies are common in pets. If you can't find anything else, and they spend time outdoors, grass may be causing it. This allergy may be especially true if their feet are itchy. Several treatments can help with itchy skin, such as steroid injections and topical medications.

Ear Infections

Allergies often cause ear infections in pets. If your pets have spent time in the water, it could also be water trapped in the ears. Ear infections can be excruciating, and when left untreated, they can progress. There are also several good medications for ear infections that will clear up the infection effectively. Your pet may need liquid medicines placed in the ears every day for a while, or they may need a wax treatment applied to the ears if the infection is moderate to severe.
