If an ear infection does develop, it can usually be quickly and easily resolved by seeing a vet as soon as possible. If you notice signs of an ear infection, don't let it go untreated or wait for it to resolve on its own. Ear infections in dogs can progress to more severe symptoms and cause pain, balance and coordination issues, and rarely, facial paralysis. With treatment, early-stage ear infections will usually clear up within a week or two. Not finishing prescriptions, or stopping treatment before the infection has completely cleared can lead to a recurring infection that becomes increasingly difficult to treat. It is highly recommended you book a follow-up appointment with your vet after the course of treatment is complete so they can assess your pup to ensure the infection is completely cleared up and repeat treatment is not need it.
