Dial A Vet · Accepted Answer

Red, itchy ears accompanied by head shaking are classic signs of an ear infection or inflammation. Common causes include bacterial or yeast infections, ear mites, allergies, or even foreign bodies. If left untreated, these conditions can become very painful and lead to more serious issues. Your veterinarian will need to examine the ear canal, likely take a swab, and prescribe appropriate medication to clear the infection and relieve discomfort. Do not attempt to clean deeply with cotton swabs. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
