My dog's ear is bothering him. Could it be an ear infection?

It could be Milo has an ear infection. I'd take him into the vet in the morning. The vet can diagnose if he does have an ear infection, what is causing it (ear mites, yeast, bacteria), and how best to treat it. I hope this helps!

It sounds like Capone has an ear infection. These can be caused by yeast, bacteria, or ear mites in dogs. You need to take him into a vet first thing in the morning to have this examined, diagnosed, and treated. Leaving this untreated can lead to hearing loss, which is why it's important to have him checked out as soon as possible. Best of luck.

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question. Momo is so cute! If he has been scratching at one ear a lot, and there is more discharge in the ear than the other, then yes I would suspect he has an ear infection. I would take him into the vet first thing in the morning. The vet can diagnose if he does have an ear infection, what's causing it (ear mites, yeast, or bacteria), and can prescribe treatment for it. I hope this helps!

I suspect Coffee has an ear infection, which could be caused by yeast or bacteria. Leaving this untreated can lead to hearing loss, so it's very important you take him into the vet in the morning. The vet can diagnose if he does have an ear infection, what is causing it, and can treat him. I hope this hopes!

It sounds like poor Mario may have an infection. Ear infections can be caused by bacterial, parasitic or fungal infection, or a combination of these, and can be associated with dietary or environmental allergies or sensitivities, immune system disorders, or a combination of the above. Mario needs to see a vet to have an ear swab done. Your vet can look at the sample under the microscope and treat appropriately based on what is found. Your vet will also need to examine the ear with a scope to see if the ear drum is intact, as some medications cannot be used safely if the eardrum is ruptured. Ear infections can be very painful, and can sometimes progress to include the middle or inner ear, where they can cause neurologic signs or permanent hearing loss. Please book an appointment to have Mario seen as soon as possible to help get him feeling better.

If your dog had ear mites, he would be really itchy. However, there is a possibility that Otis has a yeast or bacterial ear infection if he has discharge from the ear. Yeast infections smell a bit like beer, bacterial infections often are stinky. Both are painful. In order to diagnose an ear infection your vet will need to examine the ears with an otoscope. Unfortunately just looking at a photograph is not helpful. If your dog appears to be irritated by his ears, best schedule an appointment with your vet. for an exam.

It would be Rambler has an ear infection. That would cause her to shake her head a lot, scratch at her ear, and whine in pain when scratching the ear. Ear infections in dogs can be caused by ear mites, yeast, or bacteria. A vet is needed to diagnose if she does have an ear infection, what's causing, and to prescribe medication to treat it. I would take her into the vet first thing in the morning. Best of luck.
