Frequent ear scratching usually points to an ear problem—most often ear mites, a fungal infection, or a foreign object lodged in the canal. Spotting the signs early prevents a minor itch from becoming a painful infection or even hearing loss.

Why Is the Skin Around My Cat’s Mouth Red?
Redness around a cat's mouth is a sign of skin trouble, usually falling into one of three types: allergic, fungal or parasitic.

A dog's odds with distemper depend on treatment. Caught and treated early, most survive; left until severe, many die within a month. The disease itself is rarely the direct killer — complications are — so dedicated care through the roughly month-long course matters most.
