Expert Answer

Generally a dog’s middle ear infection improves in 7-10 days; exact recovery depends on severity. Infected dogs show increased ear discharge, pus, and frequent head scratching with paws.

If you see these signs, take the dog to a vet for ear endoscopy and, if needed, anti-inflammatory ear drops.
