Otitis externa is chronic inflammation of the outer ear canal in dogs. Effective treatment requires identifying the true underlying cause, not just managing surface symptoms. Learn about the PSPP framework to control recurring ear disease.

Cloudy eyes in dogs may be caused by cataracts or age-related nuclear sclerosis. Learn the differences, cataract stages, PHACO surgery, costs, recovery and aftercare.

IVDD care does not necessarily end when a patient leaves the operating room. Ongoing care may include monitoring mobility, pain, muscle strength, neurological function, and overall quality of life throughout each stage of recovery.
