Pete the Vet: Listen up! Here's what to do if your dog has ear trouble

Pete the Vet says this is a common problem, one to watch out for

Pete the Vet: Pets can get things stuck in their ears too (grass seeds are the most common object) and they can get ear mites (like tiny ants) crawling around inside their ears.

I’ve written before about health problems that happen just as commonly in pets as in humans. This week, the topic is far more of a pet problem than a human condition: sore ears.

My GP friends tell me that humans do, occasionally, suffer from red, sore itchy ears, but that it’s rare enough. And yes, people do sometimes get foreign bodies in their ears, from cotton bud tips to small toys and beads (more often found in children).
