My French Bulldog keeps scratching his ears. What should I do?

Question

My french bulldog, Remy, is always scratching his ears on the floor or wall. He always looks miserable and sometimes gets tired and worn out from scratching so much. I just really need some professional help. The reason I am sending this a 2:00 am is because he got all worn out in his cage and I woke up to help him a little bit. Pet's info: Dog | French Bulldog | Male | neutered | 25 lbs

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Remy! Remy likely has allergies or an ear infection. He should see your Vet to help figure out why is is so extremely itchy. Ear infections are diagnosed on ear exam and cytology of the waxy debris in the ears. Allergies are sadly very common in French Bull dogs and can be managed and not cured. We usually manage them with omega 3 fish oils, antihistamines, apoquel or cytopoint for the scratching, a diet change in case it is a food allergies and antibiotic or anti-yeast medications if there is an active skin infection. A skin scrape should also be done to be sure he doesn't have mites like scabies which is VERY itchy. Remy sounds absolutely miserable and needs Veterinary care. I wish you both the best!
