The otoscopes are already in use!

Cats and dogs living on the streets are susceptible to a wide range of illnesses — from injuries and wounds to viral and bacterial infections that require treatment and even surgery. That’s why, when these animals arrive at the veterinary center, they receive special attention. Among the conditions veterinarians encounter most frequently are ear infections. Stray cats and dogs often live in filthy conditions, in the cold, and without any care, which weakens their immune systems and makes them extremely vulnerable. Ear infections develop gradually: at first, the animal simply scratches its ear or shakes its head, but without treatment, the inflammation quickly worsens and becomes a source of constant pain. In severe cases, the disease can cause the animal to lose its hearing completely. But there is a solution! You can detect the problem early using an otoscope — a device that allows you to examine the ear canal from the inside, assess the extent of the inflammation, and choose the right treatment. Without it, the doctor is working in the dark, which means they risk missing the early stages of the condition or prescribing the wrong treatment. Your support will help us equip veterinarians with the necessary tools and ensure quick and accurate diagnoses for every animal that comes to us from the streets, hoping for help and a new life.
