Sometimes you will find your dog adorably shaking its ears. This is a very common behavior, but if you notice your dog shaking its ears frequently, you should pay attention as the dog may be suffering from an ear disease.

German Shepherd (Detailed Introduction)

　　When you notice your dog shaking its ears frequently, you should take care as there may be some problems with its ears. Generally, the main reasons causing dogs to constantly shake or scratch their ears include infections by ear mites, skin diseases (such as fungal skin disease, ear mites, folliculitis, and so on).

　　When you see your dog always shaking its ears, you might as well give your dog a detailed checkup first. Smell whether your dog's ears have an unusual odor, check if the ear canal is clean, and see if there are any red patches or hair loss around the ears. If there are small red bumps or hair loss on the dog's ears, it means the dog is already infected with ear mites. Note that mites are invisible to the naked eye, so the most scientific way to confirm if your dog is infected with mites is to take your dog to the hospital for a detailed examination.

　　Removing ear mites from dogs is not difficult, but completely removing them is not very easy either. During the process of clearing ear mites, never give your dog medicine blindly. Following the veterinarian's instructions is the basic requirement, and treating dog ear mites requires a certain period of time. Therefore, during the entire treatment process, you should persist in removing ear mites until the dog's ears are fully healed before stopping the treatment.
