We tend to take our bodies for granted until the time they start to trouble us. The same is the case with the health of our dogs, at times. But any issue with health leaves us a bit unnerved since we have practically no clue about structure, pathology and treatments.
When one sees some fluid running down the ear of your beloved dog, it is likely to create a bit of a panic. But you need to understand the causes behind the problem and the treatments that you can opt for.
Your dog’s ears comprises of three segments.
* Pinna is the externally visible cartilaginous structure of the external ear. This ends at the ear drum.
* The middle ear constitutes of a small bone and an air filled chamber lined with a mucus membrane.
* The inner ear is responsible for receiving sound and is situated near the cerebrum and the cerebellum in the brain.
All parts of the ear are delicate. Though the external ear may appear strong it is made of cartilage and not bone. Tampering with the middle and inner ear should be avoided at all costs. If there any need for an examination of the internal or middle ear, it should be done by a specialist.
