The only good solution to help Pepper was a procedure called TECA, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pethealthnetwork.com\/dog-health\/dog-surgery-a-z\/ear-infections-dogs-and-total-ear-canal-ablation-teca\">Total Ear Canal Ablation<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Pepper&#8217;s owners felt that his left ear was worse, so I performed a left ear TECA.<\/p>\n<p>I removed the the entire diseased and infected ear canal. The ear flap stays of course!<\/p>\n<p>After 3 weeks, the surgery site healed very nicely and Pepper was doing great. Now he is ready for a TECA on the right side!<\/p>\n<p>Surgery is a great option for dogs with repeated ear infections. Cocker Spaniels in particular have trouble with infections and can be helped by surgery.<\/p>\n<table id=\"mytable\" style=\"height: 400px;\" width=\"600\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_665\" style=\"width: 260px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-665\" class=\"wp-image-665 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.drphilzeltzman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Pepper-ear-just-before-surgery-2000x1500.jpg\" alt=\"pepper-ear-just-before-surgery\" width=\"250\" height=\"1500\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-665\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">End stage otitis.<\/p><\/div><\/td>\n<td>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_664\" style=\"width: 260px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-664\" class=\"wp-image-664 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.drphilzeltzman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Peper-left-ear-canal-2000x1500.jpg\" alt=\"peper-left-ear-canal\" width=\"250\" height=\"1500\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-664\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The ear canal after removal.<\/p><\/div><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<table id=\"mytable\" style=\"height: 400px;\" width=\"600\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_662\" style=\"width: 406px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-662\" class=\"wp-image-662\" src=\"https:\/\/www.drphilzeltzman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_3730-2000x1500.jpg\" alt=\"img_3730\" width=\"396\" height=\"298\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.drphilzeltzman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_3730-2000x1500.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.drphilzeltzman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_3730-1100x825.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/www.drphilzeltzman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_3730-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 396px) 100vw, 396px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-662\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The left ear incision healed, and Pepper was ready for surgery on this right ear.<\/p><\/div><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pepper had a long history of ongoing and recurring ear infections.
