Dirty / Infected ears are a very common problem, regular ear cleaning is essential. Long term dirty ears will become infected and sometimes the infection will be so deep in the inner ear it can go undected until the dog is in pain.
Closed ears: Long term ear infections will eventually close the ear canal as the ear tissues swells with infection. Ear drops will be required from the vet. Cleaning extremely infected ears can be a long process as you literally clean the infection away a layer at a time. I have had this a few times and it happens quickly. Ear drops from the vet are extremely effective!
Ear Mites: Common in puppies, especially those in families with cats. Treatment will be required. More information to follow.
Ear Scratching and Head Shakes: In my experience this is a grass seed. Immediate veterinary treatment is required otherwise deafness will result or worse.
