Ear mites in dogs can resemble other common ear problems. Simple bacterial ear infections or yeast infections can also result in similar discomfort. Sometimes dogs get a physical irritant, such as a foxtail embedded in the ear, and that can also cause scratching and head-shaking. Ticks, fleas, and other common parasites can also cause problems that resemble ear mites.
