Our Rottweiler puppy started scratching his ear today. The next day he was shaking his head and on one side he had a lame ear. This is a sign of a ear problem. This video shows our Rottweiler shaking his head and the lame ear on one side. There are several different reason whay this can happen but the most common is a follows: water in the ear, mites, yeast infection, irritated ear, tick caused a infection, scratch in the ear, and sores in the ear. In this case balou had a bath 2 days ago and I got some water in his ear, This caused him to sctratch at his ear and then become red and a little inflamed. Another sign that was brought to my attention was his lame ear. I suggest going to a vet if you dont know what is wrong with your dog. I cleaned out his ear, mixed some 1/2 vinegar and 1/2 alcohol together and squired some in the ear canal. i rubbed the ear to swoosh it around and then allowed him to shake his head. After he shook his head i took a cotton swab and cleaned the ear throughly and easily. The next morning my dogs ear was not red anymore and the shaking had stopped. This may not take one day to cure, sometimes i can take weeks depending on the severity of the infection. Luckily I watch my dogs often to notice it. Alcohol kills mites, and dries the ear but your dog may still need a vet. Some vets wont tell ,but dog ear infections can be cause by poor grade dog food. Some sever dog ear infection may need antibotics. Dogs with ear yeast infections have a brown or black gumpy clumps in the ear. The ear will also have a yeast odor. [ Ссылка ]
