| Dry ears - suggestions please! Because of the winter, I think Dunkin's ear skin is getting really dry. The front tops of his ears seem to be peeling, much like a person's dry scalp would. I've ordered a new shampoo and conditioner, but in the meantime, is there anything i can put on it now to help stop the peeling? It must be itchy! I'm concerned about putting any type of ointment or cream because I don't want it to bother his ears. Any suggestions? |

| If possible, try bathing less too. Use some pet wipes or waterless shampoo in between baths. Also, Vaseline works.

| Thank you both for your suggestions! Last night I also found two small bumps in his year. I assume they are unrelated to the dryness ... I called the vet tech, and she said it's hard to know what the problem is without seeing him. I have an appointment tomorrow morning. |
