Ear check
30 min$140 to $260Dog room 1 or 2Dr. Maren or Dr. Ellis
Thirty minutes for one problem. We look down both ears, take a swab to read under the microscope while you wait, and start treatment today if it is needed. Ear trouble in dogs often comes back, so we also look for the reason.
What happens
- We look at both ears, so the sore one is last.
- A soft swab from each ear, read under the microscope in about ten minutes.
- If the canal is full, a gentle cleaning in the room so we can see the eardrum.
- Treatment today, and a recheck in 10 to 14 days. The recheck is free.

Please call instead of booking. We will tell you whether to come now.
Questions
Can I get ear drops without a visit?
Not the first time. Drops that suit yeast do nothing for mites, and some drops are unsafe if the eardrum is torn.
Why does it keep coming back?
Most repeat ear infections in dogs have an allergy underneath. In an adult cat, a repeat problem in one ear can be a polyp.
