Dr. Lera talks about deafness in dogs with Boogie.
Generally, it is fairly straightforward to determine if a dog is deaf. Puppies who are deaf may seem slow to learn; they do not respond to their names or pick up verbal commands. Older dogs with acquired deafness may sleep through your arrival home from work. A few simple tests can check a dog’s hearing at home: rattle your keys, squeak a toy, clap your hands behind the dog, ring a bell & whistle. It is important to do these when your dog cannot see the source of the noise as they may respond to the visual cues and give a false result. If you get no response, it is a good bet that the dog is deaf. (source: VCA Hospitals)

My old girl is losing her hearing due to age. After taking showers, I find her sleeping in front of the dresser. I try to step over her and not disturb her, so I can get dressed. Occasionally, I don’t lift my foot high enough, depending on where and how she’s lying, and it brushes her head, causing her to startle like she heard a gunshot. It breaks my heart to see her like this. All in all, she is a happy, loved dog. She sleeps more now, but she’s still her neurotic old self.

My dog, had the parvo virus, while recovering at the vet, she has lost her hearing, she was on a lot of antibiotics, blood transfusion, and also while recovering at the vet, she has now a liver shunt? The Vet is not giving us much answers, we are now giving her Hills liver food, and Dulfphalc, twice a day, and liver medicine, she is recovering well at home, I would just like to know if her hearing will come back, at times it looks like she is hearing, but then again nothing

Should not the vet know if this is going to be the case?

My doctor doesn't do a scan for hearing. These vets charge so much for testing and visits that owners avoid the vet. My wife took our dog to an emergency 24 hour vet because she was breathing heavily. After scans, x-ray, blood tests etc etc ....over $5000.00, it turned out the dog possibly did not chew her kibbles well and had a bit of discomfort. Try to get your doctor to do a scan and testing for a sore tummy. It's excessive

My question is, how does that even HAPPEN ?

@sharrongutsell Жыл бұрын

@@choccocker apparently if the jaw is open to wide or for too long it can cut off the blood supply to the cochlear in the ear , it is quite rare and even my vet had only seen it once in his career, most vets use a mouth guard to prevent this , my dog has since had another clean with no further damage ….he hears loud noises but not voices, I clap now to get his attention

Vets shouldn't charge so much to help cure pets,people love do much dogs in. America but vets are so expensive

@sillysquid69erify 2 жыл бұрын

Probably shouldn't have pets if you can't pay for them... same principle applies to credit cards.

@sarahs5771 10 ай бұрын

I dont think vets (like human doctors) want to charge so much, but there are a lot of factors in medicine. Please look at pet insurance for your animals. It really helps reduce your financial burden!
