I think your dog has bad allergies. CAN NOT SMOKE IN MY HOUSE OR LIGHT ANY CANDLES. BECAUSE IT IRRITATES HER AND I NOTICE IF I TEND TO SNEEK A CIG IN MY HOUSE SHE WILL LICK HER PAWS AND CHEW AT HER PAWS. IT IS THE BREED OF DOG. I WOULD GET HER TO THE VET AND GET HER AN ALLERGY SHOT. THEY MAY SUBCRIBE OTTIS DROPS. AFTER YOU CLEAN HER EARS YOU PUT 2 DROPS IN HER EAR, THEN MASSAGE THE OUTSIDE IF THE EAR SO THAT IT GETS IN HER EAR REALLY GOOD. BUT, MY DOGS EARS GET BETTER AND THEN ITS RIGHT BACK TO THE VETS. I LOVE HER TO MUCH TO GET RID OF HER SO I DEAL WITH IT. I WISH YOU THE BEST W/ YOUR DOG.
