How do you identify a cocker spaniel ear problem?

To identify a cocker spaniel ear problem, look for signs such as excessive scratching or shaking of the head, a foul odor coming from the ears, redness or swelling in the ear canal, and discharge that may be brown, yellow, or black. Additionally, your dog may be more sensitive to touch around the ears or show signs of discomfort. Regularly checking their ears can help catch potential issues early. If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s best to consult a veterinarian for proper diagnosis and treatment.
