Handout: Fight ear infection fiction

Here are some things some folks (maybe your own veterinary clients?) believe about recurring ear problems:

> "All ear infections are the same, so I can use the same medicine that worked the last time."

> "If I pluck the hairs out of my dog's ear, my dog will never get another ear infection."

> "My dog has an ear infection, because he caught it from another animal."

> "My dog scratches, licks or chews because he's bored, grooming himself or imitating the family cat."

> "My dog's ears will be cured so he'll never get another infection."

Help them see past some misconceptions to the truth with this handout.
