Question

Any moms have dogs who scratching ears ? I don’t no if it’s ear infection or just scratching any moms have tips on what I can put in there or buy that I can get at a store that’s essential ‍♀️

Answer 1

You could try some Benadryl? Also it would look pretty red in there if it was an ear infection. My dog gets ear infections anytime she rides in car and sticks her head out of the window when it’s chilly.  

Answer 2

My dog does bc he has allergies around this time of year. He just takes some Benadryl and he’s good to go!

@isoniazid8549 how much? People Benadryl?  

---

@versus1234 yes people Benadryl! I always buy adult pills bc I’m terrified of anything children’s for dogs since they use xylitol is so much now and that’s poisonous to dogs. 1mg Benadryl per lb for the dog is the dosage. You can round up/down a bit too. Like my girl doggy is allergic to the rabies shot so I have to give her half a pill (the vet recommendation) of Benadryl which is roughly 12. 5mg and she’s 10ish lbs. My allergy man is roughly 60lbs and he takes two pills in cheese. His ears get very warm to touch and red on the inside hairless part (normally a pale pink—also NOT his inner ear, idk what you call it. Ear cartilage of the dog) when his allergies are bothering him. It sucks bc he loves to lay on in the yard and sniff the air all day but then allergies. couldn’t relate more to a dog

Answer 3

Olive oil but that wont treat an existing infection

Answer 4

Try coconut oil and benedryl. I just had to take my dog to the vet Friday because his itching and chewing was so bad. They put him on apoquel.  

Answer 5

Do you clean your dogs ears?  

Answer 6

What kind of dog? poodles and some others need their ears hair cleraned

Answer 7

Xymox . made for itchy ears for dogs

Answer 8

Could be allergies. My dog just got over an ear infection and now I keep catching him in the bushes scratching his back and head on the branches. Vet mentioned his seasonal allergies would probably be flaring up soon. Benadryl or an allergy shot fixes him right up.  

Answer 9

Pet Supplies Plus has an all natural liquid you can squirt in the ear and chewable dog allergy pills. My bubbas ears were itchy and dirty and his eyes watery. about a week and he is back to normal.  

Answer 10

Definitely Xymox

Answer 11

My dog has also been itching his ear like crazy. Do you give one benadryl a day or what’s the dose and for how long?  

Answer 12

My dog does as well we took him to the vet and it is allergies. Not to say that is what's wrong your your pooch . It could be mites or a sore or allergies. Are their any marks ? What do you see in his ears

Answer 13

Check with your vet, dogs can only have a specific amount of Benadryl per their weight. Wouldn’t dose without getting a recommendation from their vet.  

Answer 14

What kind of dog? My dog has gotten ear infections recently and needed meds. If the ear is red and irritated, it may be infected

Answer 15

I have a cattle dog that does this. Get some ear wash and put a few drops in the ear and take the ear and rub so it goes down the ear canal. Mine is usually dirty ears so the wash breaks up the buildup.  

Answer 16

Go to Rural King and get the dog ear cleaner. Squirt in ear, massage, and clean with cotton ball. Also get the ear mite treatment, it kills potential notes and has an aloe and numbing agent to ease the irritation.  

Answer 17

Ours does. Its from allergies and we have a solution from the vet we use to clean them every night.  

Answer 18

Please don’t put anything in your dog’s ears. Take it to the vet for an exam because it could be anything from an ear infection, a yeast infection, allergies, or ear mites even.  

Answer 19

The only way to really know is to do a ear culture. It is just a swab that is sent in to see what exactly is going on. I could run over and grab one for you if you can get the vet to give you a order. They charge 25. 00 to run the ear culture where I send it.  

Answer 20

He’s a French bulldog I looked and it’s red and little blood from him trying to put his paw in there he just started it I didn’t no if hey was open or if was something I could get from a store

Answer 21

He’s been outside last two dhs more so than usual because he loves the sun and warm weather

Answer 22

Call your vet. They may be able to have you just pick up meds

Answer 23

I clean my dogs ears when she gets like that with a warm wash cloth. I really try to get in there. It seems to help. They also sell ear wash pads and liquid on Amazon and at the pet stores. That helps too.  

Answer 24

I have a Pitt that gets chronic ear infections even from the shortest walk on a windy day. I take coconut oil melt it down but it in a baby syringe and squirt it into the ear and rub around. Of coarse it can't be hot when you squirt it in. I actually was told this by a vet that takes care of bigger animals that are always outside and no lie this is the only thing that works and also keeps the infections away!  

Answer 25

Definitely check with vet for possible yeast infection or allergies, if okay with vet(depending what it is) Zymox May help?  

Answer 26

Look at their diet. 90% of the time that’s the cause.  

Answer 27

Mine goes it all the time! Her allergies are horrible, no egg, no chicken. All fog foods have some sore of chicken part in it, or chicken broth. We finally found a lamb roll and she is better. I cook weekly sweet potatoes, ground beef. Occasionally rice. This week I made salmon. I was told by my vet to give her (26lbs) 1 25mg tablet Benadryl daily until symptoms get better. If her ears are raw from scratching we have ordered from chewy the ear cleaner and numbing ointment. (You should check for mites from the vet first. ) I can pm you a photo of them. I hope this helps

Answer 28

Call your doctor and ask. Pet stores are doing online shopping

Answer 29

Time for a vet check.  

Answer 30

You can use a vinegar solution too. Many ear infections are yeast based and vinegar changes the pH and kills the yeast. That way you don't have to go out

Answer 31

We use ear wipes
