[abbey lee]

So the other day Ab's was sitting on my shoulder (don't ask, she just likes to be a parrot) and I smelt a badddddddd odor. Leaned in closer and it was def coming from her right ear. The other one smelt fine but the right one smelled TERRIBLE. I took her to the vet today for her last set of puppy shots and I asked the vet about the ear smell. She looked at it and said it def had gunk in it. She got a Q-tip and swabbed it and eeeew all this BLACK gunk came out.

I ended up leaving Abbey at the vet all day so they could watch her (she sometimes has bad reactions to shots and I had to work all day) and I sent my BF to pick her up. Well i told him to ask about the ear and he said that they checked for ear mites and it wasn't that.

And that's it. No medications or special instruction or anything. Vet just said to watch it and if it stinks again they can flush it out.

But my question is...does anyone have any ideas of what may have caused this so I can avoid it?? Or anything I can do to make it better?

This is a new vet and she is very helpful...but, I wanted to pick Abbey up myself bc the BF sometimes forgets to ask things/forgets to tell me everything so just wondering what everyone thinks.

Thanks!
