My dog was in the hous today and her ears are always bugging her. I was petting her and saw this beattle type bug on her ear. I put her in the garage and later my dad checked her and said he didnt see anything.

Fleas look like this:

And are this small!:

Was that what you saw on your dog? You might not see any more unless the infestation is really bad, but you can check your dog for fleas by looking through his fur for these:

These are flea dirts (poo). If you find any, wet them to see if they turn red (they are digested blood)
If your dog has fleas, get him some treatment - but from a vets, not from a pet store. Pet store treatments do not work!

it could be that she has fleas but it sounds like she may have an ear infection check to see if she has any brown discharge from her ears or smell them if they have a bad odor that could be a sign of infection. take her to a veterinarian and they can give you medicine to treat both a flea problem and ear infection.
