HEAR Now: FAQs about Ear Infections in Dogs - Part 2
Dog ear infections are frustrating, smelly, and painful—and often keep coming back. This episode is part of the HEAR NOW series (Help, Educate, Assess, Regulate), created in partnership with Merck Animal Health. In this two-part series, expert guest Dr. Christine McKinney, Merck Animal Health Small Animal Dermatology Specialist, joins to answer the most frequently asked questions about dog ear infections to give pet owners the clear, evidence-based information they need. In Part 2 of our HEAR NOW series, we explain what brown discharge really means, why infections may not go away, the risks of untreated infections, and why home remedies can do more harm than good. Learn safe, effective treatments to help your pet. Brown discharge can be normal wax, yeast, or bacteria—cytology is the only way to know. Infections that don’t clear may need longer treatment, stronger antiinflammatory medications, or better control of the primary disease like allergies. Inflammation drives infection—managing allergies reduces recurrence. Untreated infections can spread to the middle or inner ear, causing permanent damage. Home remedies like vinegar may burn inflamed ears and risk hearing loss.

076 Allergies in Westies

076 Allergies in Westies
West Highland White Terriers (Westies) present unique challenges when managing their allergies. In this episode, board certified veterinary dermatologist and devoted Westie owner Dr. Valerie Fadok joins to allergic skin and ear disease in these little dogs with big personalities. Dr. Fadok shares her expertise and personal stories to help pet owners better understand and manage this frustrating condition in this specific breed. Key Takeaways: Westies are genetically predisposed to atopic dermatitis and can show signs of allergies early in life. Common signs include persistent itchiness, greasy or scaly skin, frequent secondary infections, hair loss, and chronic ear infections. Early diagnosis and management are critical to avoid progression to severe, chronic skin changes. Treatment plans may include medications, regular bathing, immunotherapy, and collaboration with a veterinary dermatologist. Flea allergy dermatitis is a common trigger—preventative flea control is non-negotiable, even if fleas aren't seen. Food allergies affect approximately 50% of allergic Westies; an elimination diet trial with a prescription or elemental diet is the gold standard for diagnosis. Owners should avoid unreliable internet food allergy tests like hair or saliva testing. The Westie Foundation of America provides excellent breed-specific resources and funds research to improve Westie health.
