Inflammations of the Ear

Inflammatory ear problems may be part of metabolic disorders or they may be diseases in their own right.

Dog Ear Inflammation

Symptoms

The dog shakes its head over and over again, scratches its ears, tries to slide on its ears along the floor, and/or holds its head tilted at an angle (this is usually indicative of a single ear being affected). All this occurs without any other external signs of disease. Usually the dog will object if you try to touch its ears. Also, if you clean the inner ear, you might find excessive secretions, or even putrid smelling, discolored earwax. Sometimes the condition has progressed to liquefied, brownish deposits containing pus in the ear canal. The same problem may lead to dried, brownish crumbly deposits, which is usually an indication of ear mite infestation.
