West Highland White, Ears Allergies

Allergies can tip the balance in favour of bacteria or yeasts, which are already in the ear canals because they were floating around in the air. Excess water in the canals also can make trouble.

Your dog's ears are waterproof all the way to the eardrums, just like the rest of his skin, but when a lot of water builds up in the ears, it may promote yeast growth.

Have a sniff for Infection

A dog that scratches at its ears may have an advanced ear infection, but you can get an early warning with your nose.

Healthy dogs ears should have a pleasant smell, infected ears smell waxy.
