Video shows both ears of the Miniature Schnauzer one year after lateral ear canal resection surgery to open up the vertical canal. The owner is happy that there is no more continuous ear scratching after the surgery. The maid confirms that there is no more ear scratching unlike in the past.

There is some pain inside the horizontal canal. The body skin is full of scales and is smelly. Dental scaling was advised as the saliva from licking will soil the body skin creating body odour. The dog is itchy because of generalised skin infections. Ringworm was confirmed by hair analysis under the microscope.  

For chronic skin infections, the dog should be clipped bald every two months till all infections are cleared. One cause of skin infections could be clipper burns or the skin is being infected after clipping.
