brown crusty ears

[tkiatsup]

hello,

we've had our cockapoo for about 4 months now and we just started noticing that there is always brown ear boogers in his ear everytime we clean it. we clean it once a day, ever since we noticed it. this has been going on for the last two weeks now and there is no sign that it is getting better.

he does itch his ears but probably just as much as any other dog. We don't know if we should take him to the vet because it doesn't seem to be bothering him. ALthough when we do clean his ears, he shakes. it seems like he is shaking because he is relieved that we are cleaning, but not really sure.

the brown stuff looks like very dark dark brown peeling skin and there is a lot of it! Has anyone else ever encountered this problem?

is it thick brown wax every day, if so i would say take him to the vets. its good you you are cleaning them have you always cleaned them every day ? if so it may be you have cleaned them to much and it has caused a problem.

Gypsy gets very waxy ears i try to clean them once a week. does he have a lot of hair in his ears, this could also be the problem he may need them plucked.

i have just been advised a brand of ear cleaner that i have found to be very good, Quistel.


hope you get them sorted.

He could also have a inner ear infection, sometimes when it's deep down it can get bad, yet the dogs don't show outward signs. Because of how fast the wax built up is, I'd get a vet to take a look, just in case!
