Sometimes the ears become red and inflamed and develop an offensive odor. A black or yellowish discharge commonly occurs as well if there is an ear infection. I hope this helps. If you have any of these sign a trip to the vet is in order as ear infections are very painful. |

yup and yup.
i see ear infections all the time and they usually smell horrible. plus the ear is red and irritated. They also can have some sort of discharge in them. I usually see nasty black goo, but it can be yellow and slimy too.
i wouldn't put any more animax in. you should take him to the vet so he can do a swab of the ear. also don't clean it before you go. the medication and ear cleaner will ruin the sample the vet takes
