Smelly ears

[layla21uk]

My dogs ears arent cropped like some do in america, but they dont flop foward as I have seen with most dogs.
She is always scratting at them and sometimes makes them bleed.

One ear is very bad, it has a greyish stickyness to it, I have tried washing it with just water, tea tree, everything even antispetic cream. Its just on the edge of her ear so its not deep down.And it smells terrible

Any ideas please thanks

What about taking her to the vet?

if it smells, it sounds like it might be infected. I'd take her to the vet.

The ears may be infected or it could be ear mites, both need veterinary treatment

It sounds like a yeast infection. I know this is gross, but does it smell a bit like dirty feet? One of my dogs has a recurring yeast infection in her left ear. When it gets really bad, her ear gets deep red and grayish, the skin gets flaky and the whole ear smells terrible, and she is constantly scratching it. You need to take your dog to the vet to get some medicated ear cleaning solution and perhaps some steroidal cream if the inside of the ear is swollen.

You may need drops from the vets.

Quick question - What do you feed? Only it could be an allergy sign (usually related to food).

Sassy had this before and it was a yeast infection. Get her to the vet and get some otomax for it. You will see a big difference in no time at all.
