Why is ear disease?
Ear disease, we mainly inflammation of the external ear canal (otitis externa), but may be affected by the ear itself. Affected ears often seen as a result automutilace (harming) ear inflammation itself. In cats, the main causes of otitis externa include ear mites, which is caused by a parasite Otodectes cynotis. Sick animals are 'dirty ear as if filled with sebum-like dark coffee grounds. In the dog, the most common causes include inflammation of the ear yeast infection. In this case, the canal filled with brown, smelly and mazlavym Maze. Less common are infections of bacterial origin.Some animals are secondary to inflammation of the ear of another disease, such as food allergies, atopy or some autoimmune diseases.
Inflammation may also be a reaction to the presence of foreign bodies in the external ear canal. Most find the remains of grass awns.

Some animals are ear infections more often than others and the owners are asking why. The answer to this question is the influence of predisposing factors. She canine anatomy of the external ear canal (two channels - the horizontal and vertical) may predispose to problems.The long ear canal can collect moisture, which promotes the growth of yeast, yeast overgrowth then cause inflammation. Some breeds like a poodle or terrier suffering from ingrown hair canal, which it closed, thus preventing natural ventilation. Repeated infections can cause narrowing of the canal and re-create the appropriate conditions for the emergence of further inflammation.
Once you suspect that your pet is suffering from inflammation of the ear, is a good idea to seek your veterinarian to investigate the dog. The basic diagnostic method is otoscopy, when we look at the structure and integrity of the eardrum and can assess the amount and consistency of wax inside the ear canal. If necessary, you can take a sample for cytologic examination, with which it is possible to determine the cause of inflammation (bacteria,yeast or excessive sebum production). In the case of bacterial inflammation sampled for microbiological culture to determine the needed antibiotics for treatment.
The basis is always prevention, and therefore the need for the ears of your pet's sensitive care. To get your pet to clean ears, it needs to learn from a young age. In breeds where there is a canal ingrown hairs should be regularly pull. It is a simple procedure to handle the problem without the owner at home. If your pet is nervous at home, do not hesitate to ask your vet. It should be pulling hair from ears, neglect, or else slowly reduced natural ventilation of the ear canal and creates a suitable environment for multiplication of yeast and leads to subsequent inflammation.

Instill into the ear of a few drops, rub the ear cartilage at its base and let the dog's head knock. Then just wipe the wax, which remained in the ears.
