Possible ear infection?
For about a week or so, Ellie has had her head slightly tilted to the side sometimes and keeps shaking her head as if to clear it. She doesn't mind us scratching her ears or anything, or rubbing her head. The insides of her ears are light pink, with only a little bit of visible earwax. What could be the problem? Do you think there is there even a problem? Other than that, she's acting completely normal.
Thanks!

Probably it's an ear infection. The shaking of the ears and the head tilting are pretty tell-tale signs. The vet can examine the ear goo and tell you for sure. If it's an infection, they'll give you drops. Mine likes having her ears rubbed if they get infected, and you can tell from her little face that it feels good. She hates the drops, which hurt until the infection is clearing up.

It sounds like it could be the start of an ear infection or maybe she has a foxtail seed stuck down in there. Since it is not really red, I would lean more towards the possible start of an infection; usually foxtails cause extreme inflammation and discomfort. I recommend using PETfection Ear Cleaner Spray. It is 100% Organic and Non Toxic and is wonderful at clearing up ear infections. You can check it out at www.mypetfection.com. I highly recommend it and found it works much better than any cleaner the vet gave me. Hope this helps!!
