| The most common problems with dog ears are ear mites and fungus infections. Ear mites cause itching that will drive them up a wall once it gets bad. The fungus is caused by water getting down into the ear and staying there long enough for and infection to start. It can also be itchy and can grow into a painful and itchy problem. Your vet is the best one to diagnosis which one is the problem. They will swab the ear and put the material under a microscope to determine what it is. Both cause a brown substance to grow down inside the ear. Many times you cannot see it until it is really bad. |

| we was trying to gentle mom was holding her when we did get it in her left ear that was hurting more. but she was fighting mom and she chouldn't hold her any longer. so mom try to put them in while I was holding her just the same way I was when they put it in the night before at the dr office. she let the first person to look at them and put the thing she look in at. and the dr did the same and she let them do it. but for some reason she wont let us to it. but then again it was very early when we did try it. so maybe later in the day she might let us. but then again she might not. so my dad might have to do it. if he will do it I don't know. even though she is mine not his. |

| I agree that if her ears are red inside they are probably very painful. It would be nice to know what your vet decided to treat her with. Some of the insecticides they use for ear mites can really hurt an irritated ear. They have some brands that have aloe in them so they are less painful to use. Really the irritation should be resolved before putting an insecticide in the ear. Try wrapping her up in a blanket so you have more control over her and hopefully she cannot bite. Maybe consider asking the vet about it if it is that painful for her. When you wrap in a blanket you want just the head sticking out and a snug enough wrap that the legs can't get out if she struggles. I hate to do that to a dog in that much pain but I don't want anyone to get hurt. Please consider having your mom talk to the vet about it. I really don't agree with treating an animal for something when they don't know what they are dealing with. |

| Do you get her ear hair plucked? Princess my mini schnauzer seems to get irritated when the hair starts growing back in-I use hydrogen peroxide, to soften skin & hair, and follow up with coconut oil treatment.

| we have meds for the ears she just don't want us to use it. and she does have some pills to take now since she was throwing up yesterday but she wont takethe pills no matter what we do. but we have giving her pills before she would take them not to much trouble. but this time around she going to give us a lot more trouble with it and eatting. but I know she not feeling good so that might be why she not wanted to eat yet. but we will try the food on her later. but she does have to take the pills if she like it or not. just don't know what else to try on her. one is a half a pill and other one is a whole pill. |

| Sounds like she is really sick. Try putting the pills in some ground meat. You can break the pill if it is too big and put it in some ground meat. |
