There are several reasons why your dog’s ears may feel hot. According to a vet, it’s normal for your dog’s ears to feel warm. But sometimes, hot, inflamed ears can signal something’s wrong. Below are some of the top reasons your dog’s ears may be hot and what you can do to help:
#Ear Infections: Both bacterial and yeast ear infections could cause a dog’s ears to be hot. You might notice your pet shaking their head or scratching at their ears more than normal. If there’s redness, inflammation, or an odor coming from their ear canal, you’ll want to contact your veterinarian to check for an ear infection.
Your dog is running a fever: Another reason your dog’s ears may be hot is they have a high fever. Fevers result from an underlying illness, like infections. Besides a fever, other symptoms may include fatigue, vomiting, shivering, and loss of appetite.
Injury: A recent injury to your dog’s head or ears may also be the cause of their hot ears. Extreme itching or head shaking are two common causes of ear injuries. An ear injury can sometimes lead to an infection if left untreated.
Overheating: If your dog has been out in the sun too long or has been exercising vigorously, his body temperature may rise to the point where his ears feel hot.
#Allergies: Dogs can have allergies just like humans do. If your dog has allergies, his ears may feel hot due to inflammation.
If you’re concerned about your dog’s health or if you notice any of the #symptoms mentioned above, it’s best to contact your #veterinarian for advice on how to proceed.
