| Re: Ear discharge
what you are discribing is an ear infection, which is not caused by getting water in the ears. yes, water in the ears can harm the dog, but it will not result in an ear infection. this is very common in dogs with droopy ears, like basset houds, and dog with hairy ears, like poodles. the best way to avoid ear infections is to regularly clean your dogs ears. you can get cleaner at a pet store. put some cleaner on a peice of cotton and then clean ONLY WHAT YOU CAN SEE. you should also check the dogs ears everyday for anything red or gunky, or brownish yellow, or for any sort of smell.
the only way to cure it is to get drops or antibiotics from a vet. so im glad you already did that |
