is her ear warm to the touch!?
there are usually 2 types of infections that can go on :
1.) Yeast- Which is usually a white looking discharge, and just smells well, yeasty.
2.) Bacteria- Which will usually be a dark debris looking color, and it could also be a means for ear mites (usually in puppies, or little older)
Yorkies may also have extra hair in their ear canal, which the groomer will usually pluck out- so if they have a ton of that hair, i would pluck, pluck pluck! good luck!
