Question - I was doing my normal thing this afternoon cleaning out Darwin's ears, and pulling the inner hairs out, and noticed his right ear had quite a bit more wax than the left, and instead of being cream or light yellow, I swiped around with a q-tip and it's more of a light, rusty color...I sniffed the ear and it smells normal, but I cleaned quite a bit of this light rust colored wax out of his right ear...should I be worried? Now he's been scratching at his right ear and I finished cleaning about 20 mins ago...should I take him to the vet this afternoon??
