@fluffyfixx: Otitis Externa (Wet Ears)
Leaving your dog’s ears wet after bathing or swimming creates the perfect environment
for infection. The ear canal is warm and dark, and when moisture is trapped inside,
yeast and bacteria multiply rapidly.
What happens step by step:
● Water stays inside the ear canal
● Yeast and bacteria grow quickly
● Ear lining becomes swollen and inflamed
● Pain, head shaking, and bad odor appear
● Long-term infections can damage hearing
Repeated ear infections can permanently affect your dog’s hearing and balance.
