| Ear Question I bought this liquid ear cleaner @ the Pet Store. It said put a drop in the ear and massage ear then wipe the ear out with cotton or cloth. So i used this on my babygirl, and she has been scrathing her ears, her daddy has been putting Q-tips in her ears and when he pulls them out they are dark brown and smell really bad. Do you think she has an ear infection? Should I call the vet? |

| It sounds like a yeast infection if the gunk is brown or maybe just bacteria. Yes, take her to the vet. It is very treatable and not really a big deal.

| Sounds like mites. You'll need to get products from the vet. Don't let it go because they can become seriously infected. |

| Yep! When I first got Einstein, I took him to the vet to get a check-up and they found that he had mites in his ears, which was apparently very common. So don't worry about it! They just gave him some medicine and fully cleaned out his ears. They also taught me how to do it right. Everything will be fine!

| Its easily treated but you have to go to the vet because it will turn in to something big if you don't treat it.
