PetArmor Ear Rinse is one such ear rinses and we review the product in this article. But before then, let’s take a look at the common causes and symptoms of ear problems.

Common Symptoms of an Ear Problem

Ear problems in pets are often detected when they begin to show some signs and symptoms. The first thing to do if you notice anything out of the ordinary with your pet is to contact your vet doctor as soon as possible to ensure that the problem is detected and treated on time. If this is not done, it may lead to further complications some of which could include middle-ear infection and a ruptured eardrum.

They include:

• Shaking of the head
• Rubbing or scratching of the ears
• Inflammation, redness or pain of the ear canal and flap (popular called Otitis)
• Crusty accumulations on the ear canal or ear flap
• Excessive secretion of ear wax
• Foul or yeasty smell from the ear region
• Secretions or discharge from the ear canal
• Aural hematoma (swelling of the ear flap)

Causes of Ear Problems in Pets

Ear problems in pets can be caused by a number of reasons. However, there are some common causes, they include:

1. Allergies: Pets can be allergic to things such as trees, mites, and grasses while in some cases there could be a case of dietary allergy. This can be easily taken care of by the use of immunotherapy vaccines and special medications.
2. Aural Hematoma: If the ear flap gets damaged (as is sometimes the case), the ear gets filled with blood. This is usually a result of head shaking or ear scratching due to ear problems rather than being the cause. Aural Hematoma can be extremely painful. Hence there is a need for immediate treatment.
3. Ear Mites: Ear mites are tiny insects that reside in a pet’s ears. They are common and some of the symptoms could be scratching, discharge of brown wax and head shaking.
4. Excessive Wax Secretion: Just like humans, some animals secrete excess wax which can be painful and cause lots of discomfort. Once it’s being certified by the veterinary doctor that it’s just a case of excessive wax production, PetArmor can be used to get rid of the problem.
5. Grass Seeds: Grass seeds are common in pets. They are seeds of grass that get lodged in a pet’s ears which gradually find their way to the ear canal. They are a source of discomfort and sometimes pain and should be removed quickly.

Description

Vet doctors recommend the use of high-quality ear cleaners for your pet’s ears rather than the regular alcohol or hydrogen peroxide pet owners often apply. Cleaning your pet’s ears with alcohol or hydrogen peroxide can lead to irritation of the ear canal more so if the ear canal is already ulcerated or inflamed. There are some ear cleaners that have been specially formulated with antifungal and antibacterial ingredients to help combat ear infections, these are the ones you should purchase.
