What Causes Dogs to Shake Their Heads?

What is the reason why the dog keeps shaking his head:

1. Long ear mites: Usually, the mites will cause itching and discomfort in the dog’s ears, so the dog will keep shaking his head because of the mites in the ears. Dogs will shake their heads desperately to relieve the itching.

2. Earwax: If there is dirt in the dog's ears, or if the owner does not clean it regularly, it will accumulate too much earwax. This can also cause itchy ears and head shaking.

3. Water in the ears: If your dog keeps shaking his head after bathing him, it is very likely that he accidentally got water into his ears during the bath. Or your dog got water in his ears when he was outside in the rain.

4. Otitis externa: When a dog suffers from otitis externa, the ears will feel itchy or painful. This can lead to frequent head shaking or ear scratching, which can lead to a hematoma in the ear.

How to deal with the dog who keeps shaking his head

1. Due to pathological reasons, if the dog is infected with ear mites or otitis and keeps shaking his head, clean the outer ear of the dog with a wet paper towel or a wet towel, drop a few drops of special ear drops on the dog's ear, cover the dog's ear gently Massage lightly, and then let the dog throw out the dirt and residue in the ear canal through the head, and the owner can wipe it with a towel.

2. If the dog has too much earwax, just clean the ear canal for the dog in time, and use a cotton swab to clean it up, so as to prevent the breeding of ear mites and prevent the head from shaking all the time.

3. If there is water in the dog's ears, the owner only needs to take a clean towel or cotton swab into the dog's ears to suck out the water to keep the dog's ear canal dry and refreshed.
