Your dog probably got water in his ear and is unable to shake it out. He probably has droopy ears. Put several drops of hydrogen peroxide in his ear once a day for the next two days. This will prevent an ear infection until the water evaporates naturally. Tell the kids to never wash the doggies head because ear infections usually follow. Give the dog something that can give him some chewing time. This seems to help dissipate some of the water. Tell kids they shouldn't do anything to kids or pets without consulting you first.

It might just have some soap that didn't get rinsed off. I wouldln't worry about it give it a day or so and if he doens't stop scratching I would take him to the vet, it could be an ear infection if he got water in his ears during his bath.

He may have gotten water in his ear during his bath. If he continures to have problems he may have an ear infection from it. Take him to the vet and get an ear cleaner and antibiotic

of it's red and smells that means he has an infection, my dog is very sensitive to water, and when ever we give her a bath, she gets an ear infection, if not then go to the vet

Take him to a vet. Might be earmites or might be a allergic reaction. Dogs get them pretty easier if they have floppy ears and hang out in wet or humid areas.
