Left untreated the dog could suffer permenant ear and hearing
damage. You should immediately get the dog into the vet and bypass
any home remedies at this point.

One of my dogs has floppy ears, and sometimes gets a ear infection.
Cought early twice, I've been able to cure it with a perscription
ear drop antibiotic from the vet. Had to use the same stuff when one of
her anal glands became impacted and infected.

I've started cleaning the dogs ears at least every two weeks. This
has helped prevent it from happening again so far.

Yes, please take your dog to a veterinarian. To properly treat
a problem you need to know its cause.

My foster dog, Pete, (big GSD) had a pretty skanky ear infection when we
took him into rescue.

A trip to the vet and they cultured his ear, sold me a tube of medicine, and
told me how to properly clean out this ears every other day, and Voila -
less than a week later the infection is gone and Petey is no longer shaking
his head! He even started coming to me to cooperate when the medicine
needed to be applied.

Please take your pooch to the vet before the ear becomes even worse. The
worse the infection becomes, the more difficult it is to treat.

Yours in GSDs and rescue,

Lea
