Signs of an ear infection are often a discharge in the ear, redness to the ear, sensitivity to the ear, scratching, head shaking or an odor. There are three types of ear infections and treatment is different for each one. They need to be treated by a veterinarian who can provide appropriate medication. Ear infections can be painful so I recommend to have Tazzy seen within the next day for so by the veterinarian. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions.
