dog ear ache symptoms
September 21, 2009. Dog ears are sensitive and earaches can cause problems for your pet. A sign of an earache will be the dog frequently shaking his head, rubbing the side of his head against surfaces, or scratching inside the ear with a paw. Causes of earaches are often ear infections, built-up wax, debris or ear mites.
The best home remedy for dogs with earaches is prevention by frequent examination. A dog's ear will be red, itchy and flaky and will have a dark brown discharge with a foul smell. In order to quickly catch a sign of an earache, you should examine your dog's ears weekly.
