Hello everyone - chow allergy question from vet

Post by Fibee »

Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum. I took my 6 month old chow chow to the vet because he is shaking is head and scratching his ears. The vet said his ears were completely clean and maybe he was being irritated by the hairs around his ears. She suggested I asked a forum to see if it's a know thing with Chows. Looking forward to hearing from anyone who's experiences same problem. Thanks

Those symptoms called ear infection, are you checking his ears before? Try to check it and then if you don't see anything go to you're vet for examination test they have complete tools like micro magnifying glass to check the affected area. I know he will be okay soon.

Hi thanks for replying. There was no ear infection at all. I took the curious move to cut the hair out of his ears, and it was worked, he's stopped shaking his head, almost immediately. I know it sounds odd, but the vet was right he appears to have an irritation to the hair in his ears. Pleased to say he's a happy boy now.
