Ear infections in dogs are one of the 6 most common health issues for dogs. Signs of dog ear infection are excessive scratching or pawing of the ears, a foul odor coming from your dog's ear, excessive head shaking, bleeding or discharge from the ear, or swelling, redness or scabbing in your dog's ear.
Knowing how to identify, treat, and prevent ear infections in dogs is an important part of routine dog health care.
Ear infections are a very uncomfortable and painful dog health problem. If left untreated, in a worse case scenario it could cause the dog's ear drum to rupture, or the dog could even end up losing his hearing!
