Gerbil Care: Obstructive Ear Disease
15 January 2021
Obstructive ear disease, also known as aural cholesteatoma, is a relatively common condition experienced by adult gerbils. It typically develops alongside or after an ear infection and is characterised by an overgrowth of epithelial skin cells caused by excess keratin in the middle ear. Obstructive ear disease can cause your gerbil to experience significant ear pain, so it's important to be aware of the signs of this condition and how it's treated.
