For cases in which a parallel citation to a public domain source is required, short citation forms take a slightly different form. A parallel citation to the Northwestern Reporter is included, but only to the first page of the opinion because the paragraph number is found in both sources.
What Causes Ear Infections in Dogs? The structure of the canine ear canal, which is more vertical than that of humans and has an L shape, that tends to hold in fluid. This makes dogs prone to ear problems. Some of the most common causes include: bacteria. yeast/fungus (aspergillosis) moisture (which can create a prime growing environment for bacteria and yeast) viruses. mites (more common in puppies than in adults) drug reactions.
Complications of a middle ear infection can be caused by other serious problems. 1  Redness, swelling, pain behind the ear, and fever may be caused by an infection of the bone located behind the ear (mastoiditis). Pain will get worse when you press on the bone behind the ear. This infection is rare and usually occurs 10 to 14 days after a middle ear infection. Headache with severe stiff neck, irritability, confusion, and excessive sleepiness may be caused by an infection of the lining of the brain (meningitis). Severe dizziness (vertigo) and hearing loss may be caused by swelling and irritation in the inner ear (labyrinthitis).
