My dog has an itchy stomach rash & scratching ears. Are they linked?

Question

My dog has a rash on his stomach. It had broken circles with red circles around them. It seems itchy and is getting worse. He's itching his ears really badly as well. Not sure if the two are related. Pet's info: Dog | Rhodesian Ridgeback | Male | unneutered | 2 years and 8 months old

Poor Ricky! Red circular lesions on the skin can be indicative of ringworm. He could also have allergies or a skin infection. As for itching his ears, that could mean he has an ear infection, which can be caused by mites, yeast, or bacteria. I would take him into a vet today or tomorrow. The vet can diagnose the cause of his symptoms, and can treat him for it. Best of luck.
