Did you know that checking your dog’s ears on a routine basis is part of the overall health and wellness process? If you notice your Bichon Frise is scratching at his ears or shaking his head or even flapping his ears from side to side, call your vet to schedule an exam. Your Bichon could have something inside his ear causing irritation or he could even have an ear infection. Ear infections tend to start out as mild infections in the outer ear. If not treated, the infection will go further into the ear canal and cause great pain for your pup. Common causes of ear infections include not drying your dog’s ears after a swim, wax build up, grass seeds, untreated ear mites, and possible growth in the ear canal. If your dog’s ears look swollen or he is sensitive to the touch of his ears, please notify your vets Washington DC.
