She could have an infection , or she could have ear lice.
Dose she shake her head a lot vigoroously, you know the fwappa , fwappa long shake? If so , liely an infectio of ear wax.
Try some warm baby oil, and some long cue tips to clean out her ears comletely, getting all the ear follicles completely clean.
Then check her in 24 hours. You can see then if its an infection bccuase the discharge will be coear but mucous like, or maybe a bit pussy. .Then you know its infection.
If you see meore dark ear wax the next day after cleaning, its ear wax build up and her ears can be douched gently with warm water.and then repeat the cue tip cleaning.
The ear infection, if mild, can be treated with a mild solution of hydrogen pyroxide rinse, using a douche gently.
Keep rinsing her ears and cleaning with cue tips every day
and the infection should clear in a weak.
If the infection turns septic, the smell is REALLY rotten, and you have to take her to the vet immediately for antibiotics.She also will growl if you try to touch her ears if its a bad infection.
If its ear lice you need to get a special kind of oil from the Vet to treat them.But essentially its the same process, daily cleaning with oil and cue tips.
She doesn’t do the head-ear shake thing.
We did do the que tip thing on the outer portions, very very gently. Then a damp tissue a little deeper, but I was not going to go into her ear canal. We will take to the vet and ask advice. The smell is really only noticeable when your head is near hers. Not bitter that we we can see.
But the vet will tells us more.
Great advice. Thanks.
