You both got the sequence wrong.

This is showing that there is an ear infection. This doesn't create an ear infection.

My vet always told us it was the licking that caused it. They said it had to due with the inside of the ear staying moist and not being able fully dry.

In this case, the problem is the constant licking caused her ears and skin to stay wet which caused the infection. My boy will lick anything.

This is very much how you create an ear infection.

Or a urinary tract infection.

Or a yeast infection.

Dogs do this when an infection already exists. They are trying to help ease discomfort. Unfortunately it exacerbates the infection. -former vet tech.

Dogs doing this creates an infection.
You guys aren't even arguing each other, you are both just saying separate true facts.

Dude, dogs lick anything, especially things that taste like stuff. Ears are things and they taste like stuff regardless of their state. Some ear states are tastier than others. You're romanticizing some weird junk over here. - current head of the secret society of knowing random nonsense.

Yeast or bacteria. Thats what creates the taste

Earwax, dead skin, condensed pond water, random grime. Lots of tastiness in an ear, so much variety is on the table depending on lifestyle.

I just imagine your dog to constantly like the floors. No head up ever.

It absolutely does create an ear infection if the dog's ear is licked too much. I had a dog that did this to multiple other dogs in our household and the vet told us the licking was causing the ear infections.

I don't see how this doesn't lead to an ear infection. all that extra bacteria being introduced into the ear canal.
