Otitis Externa (Ear Infections) is occasionally observed in the breed within the Sussex Spaniel. Common indicators include head shaking, scratching at ear, and ear odour. Otitis externa is inflammation of the external ear canal, usually caused by bacterial or yeast (Malassezia) overgrowth secondary to underlying factors such as allergies, foreign bodies, or conformational abnormalities. It is the most common reason for veterinary visits. It typically becomes apparent at Any age. Treatment costs are estimated at £150-£500/episode, making comprehensive pet insurance a practical consideration.
If your Sussex Spaniel is showing any of these signs, consult your veterinarian promptly.
Treatment involves thorough ear cleaning and topical ear drops containing antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory agents. Chronic or recurrent cases require investigation of underlying causes such as allergies.
