Owners most often mention long-running or hard-to-fix ear problems (including chronic otitis and pseudomonas ear infection) and allergy-driven skin/ear disease being worked up and managed over time, including follow-ups and ongoing therapy (e.g., monthly treatment mentioned for dust mite/pollen allergy).
