Bacterial ear infections, also known as otitis externa, are one of the most common ear problems in dogs that we treat. This is one of the most common ear problems in dogs. The symptoms of a bacterial ear infection are easy to spot. It’s true that some breeds of dogs - ones with long dangly ears such as Springer Spaniels - are more prone to ear problems than others. Dogs which spend a lot of time in water may also suffer from regular ear problems, as well as dogs with allergies. Ear mites are the next most common ear problem that we come across with our canine patients. Foreign objects, like grass seeds, can also cause ear problems in dogs, this is usually a seasonal problem occurring during the summer months when they have been playing in long grass.
