Ear "Scabs" or crust Shrek is 3 years old. Last week his ears broke out toward the tips with a yellow crust. We tooks him to the Vet Friday and she gave us Otomax (antibiotic) and said to check back in a week to 10 days. He does not have and problems with the inner ear, just this crust at the tips. It does not seem to be getting better, but seems a little worse than last Friday. Could it be a food allergy? About the same time he came down with the ear thin, our pet store gave us a sample of an organic lamb and vegetable food. He only ate it once - and that was about a week ago Tuesday. We have given him Innova since he was a pup with the exception of this one sample. The funny part is that I am not seeing him scratch, Any ideas? |

You might want to have a skin scraping done on the area. Crust around the edge of the ears is one way mites present. At least you would know, and if it's not, the vet may have some tips for you. |
I'd call the vet and let them know the ears aren't getting any better. |
Shreks ear crust is better - thanks everyone Scrapped the prescription since it wasn't helping. Bathed the little stinker and used a wet washrag on his "sores". Got the crud off, used a little Neosporin and today, nothing left of the sores- he looks great again! Thanks all for the help. |
