Red ear?? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I noticed about a week ago that one of Max's ears had a bit of crusty stuff on the outside edge. He had just been to the groomer and he would've told me if there was something wrong. So I cleaned his ear with a q-tip and some peroxide and didn't think anything else of it. His other ear was clean and looked normal. He is strictly an inside dog.

A couple of days later, I noticed that there was once again a little bit of crusty stuff on the same ear. I cleaned his ear again and just figured that it was normal.

So today, I was telling my mom about his ear, and now it's kinda red on the inside. His other ear is still clean and pink. Does he have an infection?

he may be scratching it and making it red...if hes itching on a consistent basis it may need to be seen by his vet just to be sure its not an infection. i always use an organic ear cleaner every two weeks just to keep them free of any build up. hope ur max's ear is better.

He's not scratching it but he does rub it on the floor sometimes. Of course, he rubs his face on the floor too but that's another story

I may call the vet this morning and get their opinion.
