What are dog ear infections?

If your dog frequently shakes his head or scratches his ears compulsively, he may have a canine ear infection.

Especially susceptible to ear infections are breeds with long, floppy and hairy ears: schnauzers, cocker spaniels, retrievers, etc.

Canine ear infections can be caused by water (which is why dogs that enjoy swimming are more likely to get them), allergies, excessive buildup of ear wax, or foreign bodies like seeds in the ear. Another common cause is parasitic insects such as ear mites.

When infected, your dog’s ear will become inflamed and may discharge a black or yellowish fluid. There may also be a foul odor. Ear infections can be irritating and painful; your dog may show his discomfort by obsessively shaking his head, scratching his ears, or rubbing them against furniture… or your leg!

Common symptoms of dog ear infection:

• Frequent scratching of ears and shaking of head
• Possible whining, obvious discomfort
• A foul-smelling, pus-filled yellowish or dark discharge
• Dark-colored debris in ear, similar to fine coffee grounds

How to avoid and/or treat canine ear infections

The first line of defense against dog ear infections is to keep your dog’s ears clean. If your dog is prone to ear infections, it’s also helpful to keep him out of water, as water in the ear tends to make infections worse. (Of course, it can be difficult to keep dogs such as Labrador retrievers out of the water. Just know that swimming can make the problem worse and try to keep your dog’s ears clean and dry whenever possible.)

Infections of the ear can be very painful for dogs. Applying a warm, dry compress can help, as can the herbs contained in Canine Echo Gold.
