What Can I Do For My Golden Retrievers Ears? He Seems To Be In Discomfort, He Moans , Paws At Them.

When I clean his ears I get a lot of gunk out of them often. This gives him temporary relief. I dry his ears after a bath and put oil drops in them and yet he is still in discomfort. What could be causing this discomfort???

    It sounds like he has ear mites. You need to get ear mite drops for that plus you can rub under his ear kind of push in and feel the ear tube to work up anything deep down in his ear canal

      My guess is ear mites. They are too small for you to see, but they really drive an animal near crazy with the itching and pain. You can get O.T.C. Medicine for them at a pet store or feeders supply. If you can, you might want the vet to look at them. My dog has had ear mites, but recently found out that he might have an allergy. This time there were no signs of mites, that is why the vet told me about the allergies. She gave me meds to give him if he is really uncomfortable, but he hasn't been rubbing them like before.

        Okay.
        I have a Golden too.
        And we took her to the vets, they said it COULD be from allergeys. But she did have an ear infection.
        Now she has had about 2 and everytime we took her there they gave us drops to clean her ears out with. Then they gave us pills to have her swallow and we did this for a few weeks everyday. But Goldens or any floppy ear dogs at that are prone to these because unlike other dogs with raised ears the have no way to air out or dry up if any kind of liquid gets in there. They do like to swim, and I think that could be one of the reasons that our dog got them...

        He could have an ear infection... Take him to the vet, and get drops if needed.
