Question

Why is my dog suddenly excessively shaking her ears? I tried wiping them out with a paper towel and it gave her no relief. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 5 years and 3 months old

This is a sign of an ear infection. In dogs, ear infections can be caused by yeast or bacteria. Any ear problem needs to be checked out by a vet promptly as leaving it untreated can lead to hearing loss. I'd take May into the vet in the morning to get this diagnosed and treated. I hope this helps!
