Dogs have itchy ears

[Francesca]

Hi there,
My dogs have itchy, red ears that obviously irritate them.
Apart from apple cider are there any other home remedies that will work please?

You really need to let your vet examine your dogs to pinpoint the underlying cause. Without addressing that, any home remedy is likely to achieve nothing.

If you don't know why the ears are itchy, no amount of home remedies will cure the itching.
A visit to the vet would be best for the dogs.
The vet will have the correct equipment to look deep into the ears to see if there are any ear mites inside.
Do you have any cats ?

Hi Francesca,

I would agree with JudyN and Excuseme.

Ear problems tend to cause swelling, redness, pain, a bad smell, itchiness, and head shaking. Severe ear problems that affect deep inside the ear can also cause symptoms such as loss of balance, a head tilt, and flickering eye movements. Always contact your vet if you think your dog might have an ear problem.

Hope that help
