This condition is a genetic predisposition to inflammation of the external ear canal, which is the tube running from the outer ear to the eardrum. It affects the skin lining the ear and is often worsened by physical traits like floppy ears or underlying skin allergies. This inflammation makes the ear environment highly susceptible to recurrent bacterial or yeast infections.
Owners will typically notice frequent head shaking, scratching at the ears, redness, and a foul-smelling discharge. These symptoms can develop at any age and often become a chronic, recurring issue.
The condition is treatable but generally requires lifelong management, including regular ear cleaning and medicated drops. Total long-term treatment costs typically range from 1,000 to 5,000 EUR depending on the frequency of flare-ups.
