It’s BEEN, Not Bin, and it’s THEIR, not there. Also it’s FLEAS, not FLEES. ITCH, not ITCHE, TICKS, not TICS. What the hell is a SHIAPOO??? Some stupid poorly bred runt bred by a backyard breeder?
Its possible they are getting water in their ears which is causing ear infections, such as yeast infection. Bring to the vet to swab ears and look at under scope for mites, yeast, bacteria, etc. If it is yeast infection, then I’d recommend (after treating the current infection) either not allowing them to drink sink water or after they do (as well as for bathes) using an clensing/drying agent (sold at your vet) any time they get their ears wet to prevent future infections.
Also, if they continue to shake the heads vigorously enough, they can form hematomas on their ears. Take them in to see your vet.
Look inside their ears. It sounds like they might have ear mites. You may not see the mites, but their ears will probably look dirty. Maybe a little irritated looking. Take them to the vet so that they can be properly diagnosed and treated. Ear mites are difficult to get rid of and after a while your dogs may even stop scratching without treatment, but that usually just means they have gotten used to the irritation and the ear mites are still there and can cause all kinds of problems up to and including your dogs going deaf.
They could also have ear infections from water getting in their ears. The Vet can give you drops to help them get rid of the painful infection.
Do not try to use Q-tips to clean the ears without a vet’s supervision. Dogs jerk their heads & you could seriously injure or deafen the dogs.
You need to get ear cleaning solution there is probably water in there. it can lead to a nasty yeast infection if a dogs ear isn’t kept clean & dry. When you clean it if its smelly the dog probably need to see a vet to treat the infection.
It is probably ear mites. They are very contagious so that’s why all the dogs have them. You will have to go to the vet to get drops to put into the ears. If you do not get them treated, the dogs will get ear infections and that is very painful.
It sounds like ear mites to me. I know sometimes mineral oil will get rid of them it will smother the mites but to be on the safe side take your dog to the vet. This will drive a poor dog crazy.
Also to Bonnie who answered you are a really rude person.
Not everyone can spell good. Sounds like you have issues to me.
If you cannot be nice just do not answer any questions!!!!!
Hope this helps
Its most likely ear infections, my dogs get them all the time. i would take them to your vet tho, they can give you ear cleansing solution, and an antibiotic to kill the infection. they can also show you how to clean your dogs ears.
