Hi
Our lab is itching his left ear quite a bit and shakes his head. There is a slight odor and there is debris in both ears. I called the vet and she said that it could be ear mites. How can we check for this? Is there anything that we could do for him from home or should we take him to the vet asap? And how do dogs get ear mites? Or could it be an allergy or come from swimming in the inlet and creeks this past weekend? I was reading about using water and vinegar to keep a dog's ear clean. Any thoughts about that?
Thanks for your help! :)
