That suns out, and if your dog loves to swim, they’re out too! 🐶🌊
We are all ears today and talking about ear infections, which can come with swimming and bathing around this time of year.
🌊 Swimming or bathing exposes the ears to water, which can further increase the moisture content in the ear canal.
🌊 Excess water content with an enclosed ear canal makes the perfect breeding ground for bacteria and yeast. Shout out to our floppy ear dogs.
🌊 Signs your dog may be dealing with an ear infection are: redness, swelling, odor, colored debris, and head shaking.
🌊 To help prevent ear infections, especially after swimming or bathing, use a general dog safe ear cleaner that cleanses and dries.
Any questions, ask us next time you are in for your dogs appointment on what ear cleaner is best for you and how to clean your dogs ears! 🐾

We’re all ears this week!
The mite you see here is an Ear Mite, or formally known as Otodectes Cynotis.
This little guy is barely visible to our naked eye (about the size of a grain of table salt), another reason why we include looking into your pets ears in our nose to tail exams! 🐕🐾

Beans and the ThunderShirt
This little video comes from Dr. Price's sister. Her cat, Beans, has vomiting from motion sickness when he is in the car. They decided to try the ThunderShirt for his motion sickness.
Here is a video of him trying on his ThunderShirt for the first time. And like any cat in clothing...he performed right on cue!
