How do i know if my dog has water in his ear or an infection?

Answer 1

if you call a dog's name or make its favorite sound and he/she doesn't react it could mean it has water in it's ear or has an ear infection. If you suspect this, you should take your dog to the vet.

Answer 2

First, check inside your cats ears. Is there anything that looks like red, brown, or black dirt or ear wax? Is your cat shaking it's head or scratching at it's ears constantly? If so, your cat most likely has ear mites. Ear mites are common in cats, and cause extreme irritation in the cat's ears. Imagine yourself with tiny little spider-like creatures crawling around in your ear. Doesn't sound very comfortable right? Ear Mites can cause damage to the ear canal and ear drums, deafness, and can kill your cat. I would take the cat to the Vet ASAP if your cat has ear mites.Also: Ear Mites are VERY contagious so if you have multiple cats, check to see if they might have gotten Ear Mites. These little parasites can be treated with ear drops for your cat prescribed by your Vet or they can be bought at a local Store that sells medication for animals. Hope this helps! :)

2nd Answer:

There are so many different conditions that will cause your dog's ears to become irritated and itchy. It could be a yeast infection, a bacterial infection, a mite infection, a foxtail or other foreign object in the ear. The only answer is to take your dog in to be checked out by your Veterinarian. The Vet has special tools, such as an otoscope to look down into your dog's ear canal, plus can do swabs to check for various other things such as ear mites, etc.

With ear mites, the discharge will look grainy, like coffee grounds.
