AFTER CLEANING MY PIT/BOXER MIX'S EARS HE SHAKES HIS HEAD VIOLENTLY FOR HOURS. COULD IT BE LOOSE HAIR IN THE EAR CANAL? HOW CAN I HELP HIM?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It is not possible to know for sure without an examination though this is not uncommon following ear cleaning. It is a reaction to the ear cleansing solution. This is likely going to improve on its own with time. Good luck and have a good night!
