Ear Infection Checklist


Drs. Foster & Smith Educational Staff
Dog It is estimated that up to 20% of the dog population is affected by ear infections. Ear infections can range from itchy to painful and even lead to deafness. However, many pet owners are so used to their dog's behavior that they don't notice the subtle signs that may mean an ear infection.

Sometimes owners, in the stress of the moment, forget to tell the veterinarian relevant information about their pets. Here is a useful checklist to take with you to your next veterinary appointment. Put a check mark beside each true statement and make sure to discuss the health of your pet's ears with your veterinarian.

Check the box beside each statement if it is true.

  1. My dog has long ears
  1. My dog has a lot of hair in his ears
  1. My pet has smelly ears

  1. My dog's ears are red on the inside
Behavior:
