bgshooter Report post Posted February 3, 2017 Sounds like an ear infection, maybe? My lab goes through it if I don't clean out his ears after swimming. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

5guyshunting Report post Posted February 3, 2017 Amoxicillin might do the trick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bgshooter Report post Posted February 3, 2017 I have never treated it without going to the vet unfortunately. They give pills that I have to try and trick my dog to eat\swallow...hot dogs work well. And they give an ear wash to clean out his ears. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Allforelk Report post Posted February 3, 2017 We used Oticleanse on the springers and retrievers growing up. I think the black waxy stuff is the beginning of a yeast infection and can go horribly wrong fast. If it starts to smell bad, the vet might be your only option. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cohofishing Report post Posted February 4, 2017 My dog used to get the same type of condition in her ear. Comes from moisture. Had us start feeding her yogurt. Plain. Put it on her food or a big spoon full in her bowl. Haven't had the problem since. We fed it to our cats too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
