<\/p>\n

$\"ear-infections-in-labradors\"$ <\/a>Common sources of ear infections include an injury (scratch or cut), or the presence of a foreign body (such as a foxtail) in the ear canal. Also, rather than sneezing , itching, and getting watery eyes, dogs often respond to inhaled, ingested, or contact allergens by developing serious recurrent ear infections.<\/p>\n

To keep your Labrador\u2019s ears healthy, inspect them regularly. And, though it sounds rather odd, sniff your dog\u2019s ears. One of the first signs of an ear infection is a horrid rank odor.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re well versed in what a healthy Lab\u2019s ears smell like, you\u2019ll know when something is amiss.<\/p>\n

Also, use a cotton ball to wipe away any dirt that may have accumulated in the crevices of your dog\u2019s ears. Don\u2019t use a swab, as this can damage the ear canal. Be on the lookout for any redness, inflammation, blood, and\/or excessive wax. Dark, waxy secretions are not normal for most dogs and warrant a trip to the veterinarian\u2019s office for a check.<\/p>\n

If your Labrador does a lot of swimming (and comes in contact with all the muck and bacteria that can be in stagnant water), or if he is prone to ear infections for other reasons, ask your veterinarian about the possibility of using an ear wash or rinse. These rinses can help to dislodge foreign debris and trapped swamp water, and help to keep the appropriate yeast levels constant.<\/p>\n

Another sign of ear problems is head shaking, scratching, holding the head at an odd angle, or an increased sensitivity to touch. If you suspect an infection, seek veterinary treatment for your Labrador immediately. Left untreated, ear infections can cause permanent, lasting damage.<\/p>\n

Keeping the Eyes Healthy<\/h3>\n
Your Labrador\u2019s eyes should be clear and bright at all times. Most puppies and dogs won\u2019t have any residue in their eyes; however, if there\u2019s an occasional bit of residue, a quick swipe with a moistened cotton ball is all that\u2019s needed.<\/p>\n
If you find that your Lab\u2019s eyes are constantly gooey in the morning, if the whites of the eyes are reddened, or if there\u2019s obvious inflammation or excessive weeping or tearing, take your dog to the veterinarian for an exam. There are many causes for some of these symptoms, ranging from allergies and injuries, to an inward-turning eyelash or a hereditary eye disease.<\/p>\n
Regardless of the cause, if the eye is uncomfortable for the puppy or dog, he\u2019s going to rub and scratch at it and cause further injury. Get him to a veterinarian to have the problem checked out immediately.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
