It sounds like Princess has an ear infection. Ear infections in dogs can be caused by ear mites, yeast, or bacteria. You need to take her into the vet in the morning to have this diagnosed and treated. Best of luck.

This can be a sign of an ear infection, which can be caused by ear mites, yeast, or bacteria. You need to take Lilly into the vet to get the cause of it diagnosed so she can get the correct treatment. I'd take her into the vet today. Best of luck.

Hello my dog has a bad odor coming out of her ear and kind of discharged and is dark brown
It sounds like Princess has an ear infection. Leaving this untreated can lead to hearing loss, so you need to take her into a vet now. Ear infections in dogs her age are typically caused by yeast or bacteria, so you need a vet to diagnose the cause in order for her to get the correct medication.

Our puppy princess has been scratching at her ear for 2 days now. Shaking her head and whimpering when she scratches. Its a little red today at the base of the canal but she has been scratching and we see no problems like swelling or redness or disc
At 7 months old, most of her teeth should be in place, and teething does not normally cause ear issues in dogs. Possible causes for her itchy ears include bacterial or yeast ear infection, mites, fleas, or allergies. You can try a medicated ear flush like Dechra Malacetic Ultra Otic for a few days, as well as having Princess on a good flea preventative. If it doesn't get better, she should be seen by a vet for evaluation. The vet will probably do a thorough otic exam and an ear cytology to find the cause of the itch. Then appropriate medications can be prescribed.

Why is twinkle scratching behind her ears
It may be that she has an ear infection (due to bacteria or yeast), or she may have ear mites. Ideally, take her to the vet, as he or she will be able to diagnose the cause and give you medication to effectively treat it. If you are unable to go to the vet, and she is otherwise doing ok, you could try something like this https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/zymox-ear-solution, but I don't know if its available to you in South Africa. Best of luck, I hope she's feeling better soon.

Should I be concerned about ear mites? Miss Daisy has been scratching at this ear from time to time but enough for me to notice something was off. I finally took a look down in her ear and it looks much different than her other one. Any help you coul
Ear infections can be caused by bacterial or fungal infection, or parasitic infections (like ear mites, as you mentioned) or a combination of these, and can be associated with dietary or environmental allergies or sensitivities, immune system disorders, or a combination of the above. Daisy needs to see a vet to have an ear swab done. Your vet can look at the sample under the microscope and treat appropriately based on what is found. Your vet will also need to examine the ear with a scope to see if the ear drum is intact, as some medications cannot be used safely if the eardrum is ruptured. Ear infections can be very painful, and can sometimes progress to include the middle or inner ear, where they can cause neurologic signs or permanent hearing loss. Please book an appointment to have Daisy seen as soon as possible to help get her feeling better.

Need help! My 3 months old female lab has been scratching her right ear and crying.. what is it? And what should I do ? I went to the vet but he said that it's because of winter without even checking her but I am not satisfied with his answer..I am
Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! Poor Silky! The most common cause for scratching the ears and painful ears is an ear infection. The infection is either from overgrowth of bacteria and/or yeast. This can be from allergies or excessive moisture in the ears. I would recheck with a different vet with in the practice if you were unsatisfied with the first vet. Or go to a different hospital. The Vet should try, if the dog allows them, to look in the ears. They should use a Q-tip to remove some discharge and look at it under the microscope to identify the organism. They they can show you how to clean out the ears and provide you with an ear cleaner and medicated drops to clear the infection. Sometimes dogs with a lot of pain and inflammation deserve some steroids. I hope this helps and I wish Silky a speedy recovery!

My mothers cocker spaniel is constantly itching her ears. Today when I checked her ears I found red open scabs in one ear and green residue in the other. She is always crying and doesn’t allow others to touch her ears. Ever since my mother bought her
This sounds like a serious bacterial or fungal ear infection. Your dog needs to be seen and examined by a veterinarian, the ears will need to be cleaned properly, the ear drums will need to be checked that they are intact and your vet will likely take a swab of the discharge to determine the cause of the ear infection. Your dog will then get treatment and medications according to the diagnosis. It is also possible that such ear infections are caused by certain allergies, Please take your dog to a veterinarian tomorrow.

Ramvlers only 12 weeks old and I took her to visit her mother for the night she came back and is constantly whipping her head back and forth like theres something wrong with her earand when she goes to scratch her ear lightly she wimpers shes just no
It would be Rambler has an ear infection. That would cause her to shake her head a lot, scratch at her ear, and whine in pain when scratching the ear. Ear infections in dogs can be caused by ear mites, yeast, or bacteria. A vet is needed to diagnose if she does have an ear infection, what's causing, and to prescribe medication to treat it. I would take her into the vet first thing in the morning. Best of luck.

Ear mites or ear infection (bacterial or yeast) can easily be diagnosed by your veterinarian. What is needed is an exam followed by an exam of a swab taken from the ears. Your vet can then dispense the appropriate medication. It can take 7-14 days to resolve either type of infection.

I would have Riley seen by a vet. It could be she is suffering from an ear infection, which would cause her to cry out in pain when scratching her ears and to be sensitive around that area. Ear infections in dogs can be caused by ear mites, yeast, or bacteria so you need a vet to diagnose the cause in order to get the correct medication. I'd take her into a vet on Monday. Best of luck, I hope this helps!
