Your Dog’s Ears

January 13th, 2008

Your dog’s ears are like flowers! Look at the inside of your dog’s ear (pinna)…and have a sniff! Normal healthy ears should be:

  • Carnation pink
  • Smell sweet (or of not much, anyway)
  • Clean

Signs of possible problems (like foreign objects in the canal or ears infections) include:

  • Bright red skin inside the ears
  • Bad smells
  • Brown material or yellow discharge
  • Head shaking , scratching at ears, cocking of the head

Take the test today. If you are concerned, contact your local veterinarian. Ear problems must be treated promptly and properly.
