Ear conditions such as chronic infections, tumors, or canal deformities can cause severe pain and hearing loss in pets. At Animal Surgical Care of PA, we offer specialized ear surgeries to relieve discomfort and improve long-term ear health.
Our surgical options range from minimally invasive procedures to advanced total ear canal ablation (TECA) surgeries for chronic otitis cases. We also perform lateral bulla osteotomy (LBO) to address middle ear infections that don’t respond to medical management.
Prior to surgery, detailed imaging—such as CT or radiographs—helps us identify the extent of disease and customize each surgical approach. Our board-certified veterinary surgeons focus on preserving hearing when possible while eliminating the source of pain and infection.
During surgery, strict sterile technique and gentle tissue handling minimize trauma and reduce the risk of postoperative complications. Our team uses specialized instruments designed for delicate ear anatomy.
Recovery from ear surgery includes careful monitoring, pain control, and antibiotics to prevent infection. Most pets show immediate relief from chronic discomfort and improved quality of life.
Animal Surgical Care of PA is proud to provide advanced ear surgery for pets throughout Pennsylvania, offering expertise and empathy in every case.
