he is difficult 2 handle doesnt take take any medicies n when he is to be treated for magets, shots of anasthesia has to be given.i face this prob for him especially in summers. he is not a homely dog rather a watch guard. his skin is usually clean but still a lot of smell frm his mouth.
Answers:
If your dog " is very prone to magets especially in ears" he is not being taken care of. Guard dog or not he deserves to be cared for. You know, feed properly, kept clean, vet care, attention, loved. Please give the dog up so he will have a chance at a responsible owner...
I have never heard of a dog with Maggots in his ears. It sounds like he may need to be on some sort of medication. I would call your vet and see what he recommends.
Should you really have a dog?
A dog who's getting maggots in his ears is being neglected.
There's likely either open wounds from scratching or a bad infection and he needs vet care and ideally, a better living situation. The foul breath could also be a sign of an infection.
Just because he's a guard dog doesn't mean it's okay to neglect him.
He needs to have his teeth cleaned for the mouth odor and possibly a round of antibiotics for dental infections.
You said your dog doesn't like to be handled. Is he partially feral? That happens when dogs are left out with little contact especially among the more dominant guard breeds. They need contact. Shaving him will help to prevent mats and maggots if you can catch him and touch him.
he needs to see his vet.the ears need to be cleaned and then kept clean by you at home. he also needs to have fly repellent applied daily. this can be in the form of a spray or salve(the ointment would probably be better)
I am assuming your dog is an outside dog? Well, what you need to do is take the dog to a vet for ear and teeth cleaning. Then keep them clean and get a good fly spray for the dogs area. Non toxic please. If you clean the kennel area often you will also limit the amount of flies. I would also suggest the dog be checked for heart worms. If flies are getting to it so are mosquitoes. Really you need to step up your game here! Keeping a dog outside isn't cruel in my opinion but leaving to suffer the elements is. You need to either care for the dog properly or get rid of it for its own good. You go live with it in those conditions for a few days.
NEVER SHAVE AN OUTSIDE DOG!! If you do you might as well hang a come and get it sign for the flies and mosquitoes. Also, a dogs coat protects it from the elements both hot and cold. It is an insulator.

you have to use a regular doggie ear wash and he must have a bad dental problem that needs to be cleaned.. maby change his diet that could be attracting these bugs.
Maggots in the ears?? You have had him to the vet to get him checked out??... Maggots don't just develop for no reason at all... You should take this poor dog to the vet.. There is something terribly wrong here..
I'M SORRY BUT A DOG WITH MAGGETS IN THE EARS IS NOT RIGHT. I HAVE NEVER HERD OF THIS, BAD BREATH IS USUALLY A SIGN OF A BAD DIET. IF YOUR DOG IS NOT FEELING WELL THEN IT WILL BE HARD TO HANDLE, WHAT HES SAYING TO YOU IS HELP I'M ILL!!
SO GET YOUR DOG TO THE VETS IF HE WILL NOT GO WILLING OR YOU CAN NOT AFFORD IT PHONE THE LOCAL RSPCA, NUMBERS IN THE PHONE BOOK TO HELP. I FEEL THIS DOG NEEDS URGENT HELP.IF HES BIN TO THE VETS AND YOU CAN NOT GET HIM TO TAKE HIS MEDICATION, IF YOU GET SOME WAFER THIN HAM WRAP THE MEDICINE IN IT AND HE SHOULD ACCEPT IT, WORKS FOR MINE. IT MAY BE THAT HE HAS A OPEN WOUND IN HIS EAR ,IF HE LIVES OUTSIDE IT WILL, GET WORSE WITH ALL THE DUST AND DIRT IN THE AIR.
