Why is my dog lethargic with ear pain and a neck sore after grooming?

Question

Hi. My dog recently got a haircut and is ears have been hurting him because he probably has an ear infection. But he also has a cut or something on his neck. He is usually very welcoming and mobile but now he is sleeping all the time and not wanting to do anything. What’s the cause of this? How can I help him? In the picture it’s the redish brownish color patch under his collar. Thanks. Pet's info: Dog | Old English Sheepdog | Male | neutered | 100 lbs

The area on Finley's neck may be a hot spot. I have attaching a link with more information below. https://www.vin.com/apputil/project/defaultadv1.aspx?pId=19239&SAId=1&species=All&id=4952729 It sounds like Finley needs to see your veterinarian. They will be able to take a swab from his ears to determine if he has an ear infection, what is causing it, and what medication would be best. They will also be able to evaluate his neck and determine if that needs treatment. Finally, I am concerns that he is sleeping all the time and does not want to move. Your veterinarian can evaluate him for any other pain that may be causing a problem and give him appropriate medication to help him feel better. Good luck! I hope that was helpful and that Finley feels better soon. Thanks for using PetCoach.
