Hi, Ear scratching nd redness in your 2Yr indie dog could be due to ear mites, yeast/bacterial inf., allergies or even a foreign body in the ear. It’s imp. not to use any overthe counter ear drops without a proper diagnosis, as the wrong treatment can worsen the condition or damage the ear.
Few tips/suggestions that may help :
Pls hv his ears examined by a vet to determine the exact cause.The vet may recommend ear cleaning, appropriate medicated drops nd treatment if an inf. or mites are confirmed. In the meantime, avoid inserting anything into his ears, and do not clean them until advised, as it could cause further irritation.
Health Tips
Early diagnosis will help relieve his discomfort nd prevent the problem from becoming chronic Otitis externa/media.
Thnks 🙏
