My anxious dog has ear infection signs and gets aggressive when I clean. What should I do?

Question

Hi! I have a four year old extremely anxious pit bull who is showing signs of an ear infection. But any time I try to clean his ear he shows aggression. What do you recommend? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Male | neutered | 4 years and 7 months old | 70 lbs

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Ear infections are fairly common. The good news is that these usually respond readily to therapy when treated appropriately. I recommend that you have Clay evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. If an infection is confirmed, treatment would be based on the type of infection it is. Good luck and best wishes!
