Head shaking and intense scratching around the ears often indicate an ear infection, ear mites, or an allergic reaction. Ear infections can be painful and, if left untreated, can lead to more serious issues. You might also notice a discharge, redness, or an unpleasant odor from the ears. Avoid inserting anything into the ear canal as this can push debris further in or damage the eardrum. A veterinarian will need to examine the ear to make a proper diagnosis and prescribe appropriate treatment.
