| Ear Mites or Infection? I did a search on ear mites and read that when your dog scratches his ears and has what looks like coffee grinds in his ear that he has ear mites. My puppy has been scratching his ear like crazy lately. So I looked inside with a flash light and noticed alot of thick black stuff but it didn't look like coffee grinds. Could it be an infection, mites, or just wax buid up? I do clean his ears with an ear wash weekly. |

| vet You need the vet to determine if it is mites or infection..those need medications from the vet..then after the ears are healed you can keep them healthy with weekly ear washes and cleaning. good Luck |

| It is very likely it as an ear infection along with ear mites. Specially if there i alot of yeast in the ear. You will be given ear drops and the course of treatment last for about three weeks. |

| Wow, treatment is long but the most important thing is that he gets better. I will find out for sure what is on Friday when I take him to the vet. |
