I have a 5 year old chihuahua puppy. He has a sad ear, shakes his head a lot and he sees the ear canal a little red and irritated. I already cleaned it and noticed that it hurts. What can be? What can I do for her?

    sounds like an ear infection. the vet will give antibiotics and maybe ear drops.

    take him

    Leave the ear alone and take it to a vet for a proper diagnosis/treatment. We're not vets, and you may well be exacerbating the condition and possibly making a proper diagnosis even more difficult.

    This little dog needs to see the vet asap she /he could have ear mites , an infection or another dog type ear condition which all requires a trip to the vet to get a proper diagnose and treatment(s)

    Your puppy/dog needs a vet. He/she very likely has an ear infection. They are very painful and require veterinary treatment.
