Eye and Ear Products for Dogs

We hate to see them scratching their ears all the time and its even worse when they whine as they does it. Sometimes they don’t really like us touching their heads quite a lot of the time.

Maybe your dog's just one of those dogs that naturally build up too much wax in their ears and you just aren’t cleaning his ears often enough. At the clinic, we see many dogs with sore ears and eyes. The important issue for you as a dog owner is always 'Is this a serious problem, or something I can do something about at home?'

Ear canals sometimes produce too much wax. The lining epithelium is just different type of skin, so if your dog has an inflammatory skin problem such as an allergy (for example Atopic Dermatitis, Atopy or Eczema) if would be normal to see inflammation in the ear canal. This in turn creates wax. If the ear canal is narrow, or slightly twisty or is too hairy, that wax cannot escape so easily and starts to build up. It becomes a focus for bacteria and yeasts and soon you have a smelly, thickened, waxy ear infection.

Treat soon! If there is wax, use an Ear Cleaner to clear the debris. Use it generously, both before and after exercise, to loosen the wax and allow both air and any medication needed to penetrate to the lining epithelium.

If there is pus, pain, any loss of balance or co-ordination, or an obvious bad smell, use an ear cleaner but make sure you visit your vet for a prescription medicine.

For eyes, the word conjunctivitis describes inflammation of the conjunctivae, the membranes surrounding the eyes. Sometimes this is due to infection, but in many cases it is simple irritation that might respond to an eye wash or ocular lubricant.

It is vitally important that if there is pain (holding one or both eyes partly shut, avoiding bright lights), if your dog is rubbing at the eye or if there is a lot of yellow or green discharge, you should visit your vet without delay.

These can be symptoms of a corneal ulcer, of a conjunctivitis caused by bacterial infection or worse, of uveitis, which is a more generalised and serious inflammation of the eye.
