I did ask last time at the vet when my dog's ear was infected.
She just said "it's something German S. get."
I think we can only treat this symptomatically.

But what is "it"? If your vet cannot answer that question, then
it's time to look for a new vet.

Better? How about *any*?

I'll take him on face value that he's at least talked to his
vet.

Point taken. And if he's gone to the vet for ear infections, then
surely he'll go to the vet for something like this?

I prefer to err on the side of believing people (can't
imagine what it would be like to go around in a constant
state of distrust), but I do think that if his vet really
said "It's something German Shepherds get" without saying
what "it" is or without further qualification, she's pretty
terrible.

No there's not.
