Itching, pain and infection in the ears can be a major hindrance to finding a home for a shelter or fostered dog. That's because the suffering these symptoms cause can affect a dog's personality, as well as raise concern in potential adopters about the difficulty of treating ear problems. Resolving the condition, however, can be difficult for shelters and rescue groups, too. What can they do to help these dogs? Join Dr. Karen Moriello as she presents a free webcast, What to Do About Ear Problems in Shelter and Foster Home Dogs.
This is the fourth in a four-part series on veterinary dermatology by Dr. Moriello. In the presentation, she will cover the role of both veterinarians and foster families in the treatment of ear problems.
