How long does it take a dog’s red, swollen rear to heal?
Healing time for a red, swollen rear depends on the cause, with anal gland inflammation being the most common. Express the glands and apply erythromycin ointment after warm-water cleaning, and recovery often takes a few days.
How often should I clean my cat’s ears?
For a healthy cat, clean the ears every 1 to 2 weeks; avoid over-cleaning to prevent injury. If infected with ear mites, bacteria, or fungus, increase frequency and use medication. With ear mites, clean and treat the ear canal daily.

Common Chinchilla Ear Diseases and Daily Ear Care
Chinchilla ears are delicate and prone to injury (extreme temperatures, fights — look for peeling, blackening, red swollen bites) and infection, especially ear mites (head-shaking, scratching, hair loss, sometimes eye inflammation). Deep wounds may need vet stitches and antibiotics. For care, a mineral-oil cotton ball wipes the ears; seek a vet for heavy buildup. Provide dust sand and check ears regularly.
How to Care for a Chinchilla’s Ears
Chinchilla ears need periodic care because debris builds up and can cause infection. Deep-clean with boric-acid-dampened cotton swabs (2–4 per ear), then ear-cleaning oil (2–3 drops, massaged in, head held 30 seconds). For light dirt, an oil-dipped cotton ball suffices. Never probe the ear canal, and only clean when wax is heavy — a little wax protects the canal. Provide dust bath sand regularly.
How to remove this growth inside my rabbit’s ear, and what spray for the ear or the lump on its back of head?

How often should ear mite medication be dropped for a Bichon?

My cat keeps getting red stuff in its eyes that comes back after cleaning. What is it?
Recurring red eye discharge may be normal gunk, or conjunctivitis, keratitis or diet-related heat. Clean and use drops; see a vet if it persists.

What to Watch When Raising a Lop-Eared Rabbit
Lop-eared rabbits are small, gentle, and popular, but new owners must heed five points or the rabbit may fall ill: age-based diet (alfalfa for pups, timothy for adults), a ventilated dry home (no outdoor in summer, a floor board in dog cages to avoid sore hocks), daily cleaning of urine, no baths (keep ears dry), and never lift by the ears grip the belly and rump instead.
