Dogs don’t have fingers or thumbs so they will shake their head when they have an issue or when they want to scratch themselves. Why does my dog keep shaking his head all the time question is far more complicated. It means that there is a problem and you need to act! Below, we will reveal and explain the most common issues.

Why Does My Dog Keep Shaking His Head?

Fleas that bite him on the tip of the ears

Why does my dog keep shaking his head? Perhaps fleas are biting him at the tip of the ears and it is annoying. He cannot reach the ears using his legs or mouth, obviously, so the only way he can do something about this is to shake his head. This is the most common reason and the least severe. 

You need to do something about the fleas your dog has. You can use all-natural ingredients or something else that will work well. There are all kinds of products out there. Of them all, drops are usually the best and the most effective. However, you may want to try different options in order to find the one that suits your dog the best. 

Earwax buildup

Another issue that is known as simple, not really severe, and common is earwax. It is perfectly normal to see it in the ears of your pets. All dogs and all humans have it. However, if the buildup is massive and there are large amounts of it, the earwax will start to tickle your dog and he will start shaking his head. Many people have experienced the same issue and you know the solution.

Remove the earwax from the ears of your dog and you are done. There is no special guide for this or anything similar but you want to be careful and make sure you remove as much of it as possible.

Foreign object in the ear canal

Your dog is far more active than you are. Those who live at houses with big yards will sniff all day long and run around. Sadly, this also means that a foreign object can get inside the ear canal. It will get stuck thanks to the small size of the canal and earwax that acts like glue. Your dog is unable to do anything about it so you need to inspect the ear canal first and see is there something inside. If there is remove it carefully. Make sure you don’t damage the inside of the ear canal.

All kinds of things can get inside the ear canal and this matter cannot be generalized. An interesting fact is that seeds can get inside easily and they will tickle the dog all the time. He will shake his head in order to try and remove that object which is usually unsuccessful. 

Vasculitis

This is a severe issue that may affect your dog. It is inflammation that targets blood vessels inside the ear canal of your dog. Some of the symptoms include hair loss, pain, and itchiness on the affected area, cysts filled with fluids, and purple or red spots that target the rears. Crusting on the skin is possible as well.

The true cause of this condition is unknown and there are no a lot of helpful information. However, in certain cases, it can be caused by strange actions of the immune system. You need to consult your vet immediately and start the treatment. 

Trauma or ear damage

Your dog can injure an ear or any part of the head which will make him shake the head all the time. There are numerous almost countless possibilities and you need to act fast. Many different types of trauma can reflect in this way. In some cases, a severe health issue can be present, and once again, professional veterinarian help is mandatory. 

Haematomas

Heamatomas occurs when blood collects between the blood vessels and the cartilage of the ear. This will result in the swollen and red area on the skin that is painful, the main bleed, and also your dog will try to scratch it all the time. Reasons for that are versatile. An injury or excessive scratching can cause it.

But, some diseases and health problems can cause it as well. Ear infection or skin infection can cause this issue as well. Pain is always present! The solution is to drain the haematomas using a needle (something your vet should do) or surgery may be needed.

Otitis externa

Otitis externa is caused by inflammation. There are various symptoms but the most common are odor, discharge from the ears, ear scratching, and swollen and red ears. But, your dog will shake his head all the time due to this issue which is one of the first symptoms to look for. 

The condition may be caused by many, different issues and problems such as trapped water inside the ear canal, eat mites, or even floppy ears. It is important to add that this issue won’t go away on its own.

As a matter of fact, it may affect hearing as well and it may have a huge, negative effect on the ears. A veterinarian will examine your pet and issue a treatment that is very effective. We must add that dogs who develop this issue are at higher risk of developing it again. It is one of those issues that are not very severe but can get complicated and affect the ears and hearing of your pet. 

Conclusion 

Why does my dog keep shaking his head every single day and is there something I should do? You got all the answers regarding this matter. In most cases, the issue is simple and can be corrected within minutes or even seconds. But, in certain cases it can be very complicated and severe, even requiring medical attention and treatment. It is important to examine the dog’s head and especially ears in order to try and see the cause. If nothing seems obvious, take him to a vet.
