Canker in dogs

Is the dog constantly scratching at his ears with his paw? And is his ear area foul smelling? My dog has these symptoms and we were told he has canker. We are presently treating him with ear drops called Surolan twice daily which can be bought at your local vets and he is also on antibiotics. After we finish with the Surolan, we have to clean the ear out twice daily using an ear cleanser called Oticlean. Serious infections can be helped by an operation (sorry, don't know the name of it) which cleans around the inner ear and removes any bacteria. But, in saying this, this operation costs around 1500euro and can have side effects including face paralysis. I would strongly recommend bringing your dog to the vet, if you already have not, to get him checked out. I also found this website while I was researching the topic for a project for school and I found it helpful so I hope it can help you! http:/www.natural-pet-care.com/natural-pet-health-blog/dogs-puppies/what-is-an-ear-canker-in-dogs

Do nothing - the blister/sore will rupture on its own and the dog will heal over the sore area within a week or so in most cases. If this is a frequent occurrance, I would suggest a trip to the veterinarian to see what is causing the canker sores - this is not a common illness in dogs.

No. I have canker sores and have never kowingly given some one canker sores. Canker sores are not caused by the same thing that causes cold sores and as far as I know they are not contagious. But to be on the safe side avoid kissing this person until their canker sores go away.
