My dog has been scratching at his ears from behind and in the ear. There is no smell or discharge. He has been licking his paws a lot. He's been wearing also not sure if that's just his breed. He's half pug. Today I noticed when I touched him by his armpit the corner of his mouth comes up like an smile. He's active and eating well. I started giving him wet dog food about two months ago.

Hello and thank you for contacting PetCoach. Scratching ears is usually a sign of ear canal infection or an allergy. Also, excessive licking of the paws suggest skin problem or an allergy. A visit at your local vets is recommended as Carl may need a course of ear drops and / or anti-allergic medication.
