Lola puppy has itchy ears!

[MrVelvet]

as title really, shes always rubbing them on her paws and the sofa. At first i just thought she was being strange but its carried on so a little concerned now.

theyre not red/sore/inflamed etc.. just look like ordinary ears

could it be anything? shes also still rubbing her bottom on things..rough things, like the door mat?

shes been wormed

Allergies.

What are you feeding?

Are they smelly?

What sort of ears has she No im not being sarcy what breed is she? Long floppy ears can attract ear mites - my setter is prone to them, so are spaniels. They have lots of nooks and cranies, air cant get in and they are moist - perfect mite conditions. If they stink and have like a black canker - thats the signs. I clean out with clean aural or similar, be careful using cotton buds, not to damage the ear. If it persists I will use an ear drop, the Bob Martin works to a point, but if bad, we need some stuff from the vet. Age old remedy that works is Thornit powder (google it) and it does work. If they get really bad she gets a steroid shot from the vet, but that doesnt happen often. Give em a clean and see how you go. As for her bottom.....blocked glands??? Not had to deal with that one (phew )

Thornit can be bought on eBay. Fab stuff.

nope theyre not smelly, Im feeding James Wellbeloved lamb and rice kibble. She has ears similar to a saluki, theyre a bit floppy and delicate!

Iv heard of blocked glands before... do they need a vet visit to sort out?
Im there next week anyway so I shall ask him, haha I bet he's sick of my sily questions already!!
