One of the most overlooked issues in dogs and cats is an eye infection along with poor ear hygiene and irritation, which can cause significant discomfort if left unaddressed. At Tree Pet Veterinary, a trusted veterinary clinic in Sharjah, we provide careful eye and ear care, assessing the underlying problem and providing the appropriate treatment and medication to help your pet feel comfortable again.
There are two ways to assess whether you might need an ear and eye treatment for your dog or cat. You may notice changes in their behaviour or there may be observable visual cues such as:
If these signs persist or suddenly become noticeable, a veterinary examination can help determine what may be causing them.
Ear and eye infections can develop for different reasons in dogs and cats. Some are caused by bacteria or parasites, while others may result from allergies, irritation, or other conditions.
Eye infections can develop for several reasons. Bacterial infections may cause redness, discharge, swelling, and irritation, while viral infections, particularly in cats, can cause watery discharge and inflammation. Allergies from pollen, dust, or certain ingredients may lead to excessive tearing and redness. Foreign objects such as dust or grass can irritate the eye, while injuries or scratches may damage its surface and increase the risk of infection.
Ear infections can have several causes. Bacterial or yeast infections may cause irritation, odour, and discharge, while ear mites and other parasites can lead to scratching, head shaking, or dark discharge. Allergies may cause inflammation and recurring problems, while moisture after bathing or swimming can encourage bacterial or yeast growth.
Our experienced veterinary team looks beyond your pet’s eyes and ears to understand their overall health. Our assessment covers your pet’s heart, lungs, circulation, eyes, ears, dental health, skin, coat, nails, and mobility as well. Depending on what we find, the assessment may include:
