Pet Keeps Shaking Head & Ear Smells? Stop Cotton Buds!

Do you smell a musty or rancid odour coming from your pet's ears? Or do they constantly shake their head and scratch their ears until they bleed?

Healthy ears do NOT smell. If there's an odour, it means there's a "party" of bacteria or parasites going on inside.

3 Main Enemies Inside Your Pet's Ears

1. Ear Mites: Dry black discharge resembling coffee grounds. Extremely itchy and highly contagious.
2. Yeast (Fungal): Sticky/oily brown discharge with a rancid smell like yeast or wet socks. Common in floppy-eared dogs.
3. Bacteria (Pseudomonas): Yellow/green pus discharge, red hot ear, and very painful to the touch.

The Dangers of Cotton Buds & Random Ear Drops

A pet's ear canal is shaped like an "L". Probing with cotton buds only compacts the debris at the bend of that "L".

Ear Drop Danger: If the eardrum is already perforated due to infection, applying random ear drops can damage the auditory nerve and cause PERMANENT DEAFNESS.

Birawa Vet Solution: Otoscope & Deep Flushing

We bring medical equipment to your home for accurate diagnosis:

• Otoscope Examination: Inspecting the ear canal to confirm the eardrum is intact before any treatment.
• Deep Ear Flushing: Flushing out debris with medical-grade solvent fluid (no probing or scraping).
• Antiparasitic Injection: Injections to kill ear mites from within the bloodstream — more effective than topical ear drops alone.
