How to Prevent Dog Ears After Tummy Tuck

by Patricia Jackson

After having a tummy tuck, the area around your ears becomes exposed to air and may dry out. This can lead to dog ear formation. Dog ears are when folds of skin form in the areas that were once covered by body fat after weight loss or during pregnancy. These folds of skin point towards the ground and resemble an animal's ears. To prevent this from happening, you should wear scarves or headbands for at least six months.

Firstly, you need to make sure your ears are clean. To do this, gently use cotton buds in order to remove the dirt in your ear canal. You can also try using a hair dryer in order to soften the wax and then clean.

There are countless stories of dogs with ears removed due to cancer. These unfortunate animals have been diagnosed with the disease and had their ears removed as a treatment. This is one of the most painful treatments for a dog, but it can be prevented by making some lifestyle changes. For example, keeping your pet's weight down will reduce inflammation in the ear canal which can lead to tumors or cancerous cells. You should also avoid using any kind of flea treatment on your pets that contains an insecticide called pyrethrin as this chemical has been known to cause cancerous growths in the ear canal as well.

  1. Clean your dog's ears regularly
  2. Use a cotton swab to remove any excess wax or dirt from inside the ear canal
  3. Take your dog to the vet if you notice any signs of infection, such as redness, swelling, or discharge coming from the ear canal
  4. Give them garlic and onion in their food for natural antibiotics and anti-inflammatory properties that will help reduce inflammation and irritation in their ears
  5. If they're scratching at their ears too much, put a light coat of petroleum jelly on top of the outside opening of the ear canal before bedtime each night
  6.  Get rid of fleas - this is one major cause for inflammation in dogs' ears because it irritates them so badly; use Frontline Plus (or another topical treatment) on your pup monthly to prevent flea infestation.

You can avoid your dog ears from being removed by keeping them clean and trimmed. Also, you should purchase a collar that has built-in ear protectors to prevent injury.

Do dog ears go away after top surgery?

The first question many people ask after they undergo a tummy tuck (or any surgery) is "Can dog ears be fixed?" For those who are not familiar with this term, dog ears happen when the skin of the abdominal flap begins to fold over itself creating an extra crease. Dog ear folds can be seen in photographs and may also be felt by touching your abdomen. The type of dog ear fold varies depending on how much excess skin you have following your tummy tuck procedure. It is important that you know what type of dog ear fold you have, if any, so that it can be addressed during post-operative care.

How do you fix a dog's ear incision?

The first step to fixing a dog's ear incision is to clean the wound. Using saline or sterile water, remove any dirt and debris that you see on the surface of your pet's skin. You can also use an antiseptic solution, but this isn't necessary if you're using the other steps correctly. The next thing you need to do is apply some antibiotic ointment on your pet's injury so it will heal faster and more efficiently. Covering up the ear with a bandage or gauze pad can help keep it protected from outside elements until it has healed completely.

  1. Gently clean the incision with a sterile saline solution to remove any debris
  2. Apply an antibiotic ointment to reduce infection and promote healing
  3. Keep your dog's ear dry by using cotton balls or petroleum jelly, especially after bathing or swimming
  4. Put on a bandanna so that you can see if the ears are bleeding again
  5. If there is excessive swelling, apply ice packs for 15 minutes at a time every hour until the swelling goes down
  6. Don't allow your dog to shake its head excessively because this could cause more damage to the newly-healed skin tissue in his ear canal.

It's simple, you just need to apply antibiotic ointment and watch it closely.
