German shepherd doesn't stop itching itself

Hi there I'm just wondering why my German shepherd won't stop itching itself? , it's got to the point where he's made him self raw and it's starting to get really sore for him , also he looks like he could have an ear infection and I'm wondering what the best way to treat it is please?

It is difficult situvation. He might be allergic to some substance in your home. May be some pet products or any other chemicals. But finding what caused this would be difficult and time consuming. An expert opinion on this would be much helpful. I would focus on getting his condition under control and a through insppection for possible cause

Hello - that sounds to be very uncomfortable for your dog.  It is unsurprising that the ears are affected as well as the skin; we tend to think of the two as different diseases but actually, ears are simply a sensitive, skin-lined hole and very susceptible to skin disease.   There are various potential causes of the symptoms you describe, including fleas / mites and other parasites, but allergies are very common in this breed and a displaced response to pain is a surprisingly common cause of itching too.  Your vet has two jobs:  to make your dog more comfortable and to identify the underlying cause of the scratching- what is making them itch?   Its common for clients  to think 'oh its only skin deep' but actually, skin disease can be one of the most frustrating problems to control and is unlikely to resolved by your vet in a single consultation; it is worth being ready for that.  Some dogs benefit from regular baths / foorbaths, particularly in cases where the skin is picking up allergens. However, a german sheperd can damage its skin very quickly and an early veterinary appointment is recommended.
