Lateral Ear Resection

by Deb ~ April 14th, 2010. Filed under: Promised Land Update.

I have actually used this proceedure on Olivia our 5 yr old black standard poodle. For 3 years she had seriouse ear infections in one ear. We did everything ointments, antibiotics, cleaning solutions galore, diet changes, you name it we did it, but they would always come back. My vet at Conrad Vet Hospital in Conrad MT (Dr. Wade Spears) suggested a lateral ear resection….reluctantly but for the sake of Olivias health we went ahead with the proceedure and thank God not one ear infection in over a year. I have included a link that explains the proceedure, and im sure Conrad Vet Hospital would be glad to answer questions and perhaps confer with your vet on this proceedure….Good Luck Poodle Friends!!! http://www.marvistavet.com/html/body_lateral_ear_resection.html
