Sat. night ear problem - any ideas?

Poor Sherm!

The Mutts all do the ole Ear Shake to Worry Dad every so often ...
then quit it about as quickly as they started.

Do you have a small PenLight Flashlight?
Husky ears are like a deep, dark, cavern - a lil light on the subject might help
find a wayward critter or foreigh object.

I'd be careful trying to feel around or probe the ear - you might push something farther down
and make matters worse.

Ask him to Stand on his Head for a while - it might fall out.
Good Luck!
Feel Better, Sherman.

I'm looking for a flashlight. He's Mr. Picky Ears anyway, so I know it has to be really bothering him to let me rub his ears so much. now...back to the flashlight search - I know I've got one here somewhere.

Nebo does that every now and then. He'll shake his head a bit, scratch at one ear, then hold that ear funny. I always look in there and it looks perfectly fine, his ears have never even been dirty. In an hour or so he has stopped doing it and is fine. He has done this several times and I have never figured out why, it is not often though. I hope it is the same for Sherman. The only thing I could think of is if maybe a foxtail or some type of weed got in his ear, or maybe a bug (tick?).

maybe the wash with a little soap, just a little not to irritate and let him shake......I think it´ll work and make it go.......IF it is a thing or bug (it should slip out)

cyber- If the dog is also tilting his head, its in the canal- if the ear is just more sideways- its on the tip of the ear.
See if the ear is clean. You are looking for black dirt particles ( ear infection of maybe even mites). If the ear is clean, you can get a little hydrogen peroxide and put some on a paper towel, and wipe only to where you can see, clean the ear. This will also soothe if its a bug bite.
I suspect its on the outside of the ear. The reason I say this is that if it was inside, you would also see the dog trying to rub his ear with his paw. ..
HOw are things this morning?
