Che cos'è un otoscopio? Definizione, tipi e come viene utilizzato per gli animali domestici
Creato il 07.02
你有没有发现你的狗在抓耳朵或摇头，好像在试图把什么东西弄出来？即使我们的宠物无法直接告诉我们，我们通常也能察觉到不对劲。造成这种行为的最常见原因之一是耳部感染。
这就是一个有用工具的用武之地：耳镜。无论您是兽医还是关心宠物的家长，耳镜都可以帮助您查看宠物的耳道，及早发现问题，并做出明智的护理决策。在本文中，我们将解释什么是耳镜、不同类型以及它如何帮助您保持宠物健康快乐。
什么是耳镜？
An otoscope is a handheld medical device used to look inside the ears. Imagine a flashlight with a magnifying lens, made to give you a better view of the ear canal and eardrum. Vets use it to check for infections, wax, or foreign objects in pets' ears. Some newer models are made for home use too.
Why Otoscopes Are Essential for Pet Owners and Veterinarians
耳朵问题在宠物中很常见。耳朵下垂或耳周围有很多毛发的狗和猫风险更高。常见问题包括：
- Bacterial or yeast infections
- Ear mites (especially in kittens or wild animals)
- Foreign objects like dirt or grass
- Too much wax or moisture
Without regular checks, these issues often go unnoticed until your pet is in pain. That's where an otoscope helps.
早期发现，减少不适
An otoscope helps you or your vet see inside the ear canal. This lets you spot signs like redness, swelling, debris, or mites early. Early treatment means less pain and a faster recovery for your pet.
在诊所 vs. 在家
Vets use otoscopes every day during checkups. But with the rise of digital and pet-specific models, more pet owners now use otoscopes at home.
假设你的狗，马克斯，正在抓挠他的耳朵。你没有等到兽医的预约，而是使用了你的Reescope耳镜。你看到一些耳垢和红肿。你给你的兽医发送了一段视频，兽医确认这可能是轻微感染，并建议治疗——无需去诊所。
不同类型的耳镜
无论您是兽医还是关心宠物的家长，并非所有耳镜都是相同的。每种类型都是为了满足不同的需求——从快速的家庭检查到在诊所的全面检查。以下是四种主要耳镜类型及其提供的功能。
1. 标准耳镜
这是兽医诊所和医院中最常见的类型。它是一种手持设备，配有灯光和放大镜，有助于观察耳道内部。
Best for: 基本耳部检查
Pros: 经济实惠、可靠且耐用
Cons: 视野有限
这些耳镜非常适合简单检查，但可能不是详细诊断或家庭使用的最佳选择。
2. 视频耳镜
A video otoscope has a built-in digital camera and screen. It gives a clear and live view of the ear canal. Many models include zoom and adjustable lighting for better accuracy.
Ideal for: Veterinarians and pet owners who need better images
Advantages: High-definition visuals, zoom, image and video capture
Disadvantages: More expensive, may take some practice to use
3. 宠物耳镜
这些耳镜是专为宠物设计的。它们配备了灵活的尖端、小型窥镜和易于握持的手柄，使耳朵检查对宠物更加舒适。

When and How to Use an Otoscope at Home
在家使用耳镜起初可能会让人感到害怕。但只要有合适的工具和温和的触碰，这可以成为检查宠物耳朵健康的安全简单的方法。无论您是在跟踪一个持续的问题还是仅仅进行例行检查，学习使用耳镜可以帮助您及早发现问题。这可以减少压力并防止后续出现严重问题。
重要提示：如果您的宠物感到疼痛、出血或出现严重感染的迹象，请在使用耳镜之前联系您的兽医。
Step-by-Step Guide to Using an Otoscope at Home
Step 1: 选择合适的耳镜
Step 2: 准备您的宠物
选择一个平静的时刻，比如散步或用餐后。在一个安静的地方轻轻抱住或搂住你的宠物。如果你的宠物动得很多，可以请人帮忙让它保持静止。
Tip: 在考试前后给予奖励，以使体验更加愉快。
Step 3: 首先检查外耳
Before inserting anything, inspect the outer ear. Look for:
- Redness or swelling
- Bad smells
- Cera acumulada o secreción
- 头部摇晃或频繁抓挠
If you notice anything unusual, stop and call your vet.
Step 4: 打开耳镜
打开灯光或连接设备，如果它使用您的手机或平板电脑。确保窥器（锥形尖端）干净且正确连接。
Step 5: 小心插入窥器
Lift the ear flap. Slowly insert the tip into the ear canal, just enough to see inside. Never push or force it. The ear canal is L-shaped, so angle the tip slightly downward and then inward.
Move slowly and gently. Watch your pet's body language. If they seem uncomfortable, stop and take a break.
Step 6: 观察和记录
查找任何不寻常的事物，例如：
- Redness or swelling
- Extra wax or fluid
- Black debris (possible ear mites)
- Cuts, sores, or foreign objects
If your otoscope has a camera, take a photo or video. This can help track changes or assist your vet.
Step 7: 清洁耳镜
完成后，取下提示并清洁它。使用酒精湿巾或用肥皂和水清洗。让它干燥后再存放。
随着练习，在家使用耳镜可以成为您常规宠物护理的一部分。只需记住，如果有任何看起来严重或没有改善的情况，请联系您的兽医。
What to Do — And When to Call the Vet
使用耳镜可以更容易地检查您宠物的耳朵。但这并不能替代兽医的就诊。如果您看到任何异常，特别是如果情况恶化或没有改善，请联系您的兽医。
一些需要注意的迹象包括：
- Swelling
- A bad smell
- Black discharge
这些可能是感染、螨虫或更严重问题的迹象。
