The behavioral habits of dogs are originally different from those of humans. In the eyes of humans, some of the behaviors of dogs are also very habitual. For example, recently my dog ​​always likes to flick his ears, and sometimes he will lie on the ground and scratch with his paws when nothing happens. Do you know why dogs always flick their ears? Is it sick?

A healthy and normal pet dog will not flick its ears for no reason. When you find your dog flicking its ears, you should pay attention. There may be some problems with the dog's ears. Under normal circumstances, there are several main reasons that cause dogs to flick their ears or even scratch their ears, such as infection with ear mite parasites and skin diseases (such as fungal skin diseases, ear mites, folliculitis, etc.).

When you see your dog always flicking its ears, you might as well give your dog a detailed examination first. Smell the dog's ears to see if there is any odor, and see if the dog's ear canal is clean and whether there are red spots or hair loss in the ear area. If your dog has small red bumps or hair loss on its ears, it means that your dog has been infected with ear mites. Note that mites are invisible to our naked eyes, so the most scientific way to determine whether your dog is infected with mites is to take your dog to the hospital for a detailed examination.
