Dogs are our best friends. Many people keep pets at home. Because the bodies of animals are different from ours, we don’t know the reason when some abnormal conditions occur. Today, let’s learn about the reason why dogs’ ears twitch!
If your dog’s ears twitch slightly but resolve quickly, it is mostly caused by calcium deficiency. If the convulsions are severe and frequent, and the dog is also accompanied by symptoms such as appetite, listlessness, and reluctance to move, it may be canine distemper, meningitis, etc. If your dog’s ear twitching is accompanied by itching, redness and swelling, and there is brown discharge in the ear, it is most likely caused by ear mites.
When a dog has symptoms of ear twitching, the owner must find out the cause and then treat it accordingly. Dog convulsions are generally in the late stages of the disease. For example, canine distemper, a severe disease, has a very high mortality rate. Respiratory symptoms will appear in the early stages, and many neurological symptoms will appear in the later stages, and convulsions are one of them. Meningitis is also a relatively serious disease, especially neurological meningitis, which causes convulsions and shock during acute attacks, just like human epilepsy. Therefore, the owner must take the dog to the hospital for examination in time to avoid delaying the condition.
