Question
my dog has caulliflower ear. she shakes her head constantly. i got her from a couple of people who were stricken with financial difficulties and i rescued her. what can i do to treat this and heal it?
Janet -
Have you dog examined by a veterinarian as soon as possible. She is shaking her head because her ears are either itchy or painful. A doctor can do tests and give her medication to make her comfortable. Your doctor can also recommend food that will help to keep her ears healthy.
