Otitis Externa is a medical term for a chronic or recurrent Ear Infection of the external ear and the ear canal. It is the result of a vicious circle of cause and effect.

Treatment is difficult as the anatomy of the dog ear does not allow the medication to reach the inner ear easily. Infection causes the skin lining of the external ear to thicken, which further inhibits exit of infectious fluid and entry of medications for treating the infection.

Although an uncommon occurrence, ear polyps can severely damage the ear drum of your cat if they are not treated in time. Ear polyps are neither breed nor sex specific but they usually occur in cats between the ages of 1 to 4 years. Ear polyps in cats produce symptoms that are almost similar to those caused by Parasites like cat Ear Mites or other Ear Infections.
