Yes, we do see black stuff. It looks like the specks we've seen. She doesn't shake her head that often, but she does scratch her ears from time to time. I mentioned this to the breeder soon after taking her home, and she said it was because Angel had her ears cleaned and trimmed. There has been an odour around her head, which we thought might be from teething but maybe it's the ear wax. TCC helped me hold Angel while I cleaned her ears with Q-tips and ear cleaner. The colour was black/brown. She really struggled but gave up eventually. We think it's just a lot of buildup. Her left ear wasn't bad, but her right ear was really bad. Should we clean them until we don't see anymore wax? How often should we clean them? Is it normal for a dog to thrash around afterwards by rubbing their face and ears on their blanket/bed? This is what she is doing.
