Ear Surgery
Our pets may not be able to express their discomfort verbally. However, signs such as excessive scratching, head shaking, or abnormal discharge may indicate a severe ear problem requiring surgery. Ear problems are pretty common in animals, especially those with long fluffy ears and breeds that tend to have skin problems. They can be caused by several factors, such as infections, allergies, polyps, or tumors in more severe cases. That's where vet ear surgery procedures come in to relieve the symptoms and eliminate the underlying cause, so your pet can be healthy and happy again. Awareness of the importance of veterinary ear surgery is paramount in pet medicine.
