If your dog has an ear infection, they may be leaning their head to one side, scratching at that particular ear, or be acting abnormally. Check to see if the ear is red or inflammed, and most importantly, take your dog to the veterinarian. They usually lay in bed or they keep scratching at their ear.
They will be scratching their ears and and shaking their head every once in a while. They will also rub on furniture and floors a lot. Also, if you look in the ear, you may see lots of little black specs that aren't normal. If you think your dog does have ear mites, take them to the vet. The vet will know right away.
