He acts normal. I'm gonna get the ear mite flush tomorrow.

That's ear mites. You can also just put oil in there every other day for about two weeks. That's how we treat rabbits with it.

ditto on the mites    mine do NOT like you squirting the liquid down into their ear canal  but MAN do the love the rubbing of the ear to make sure it squishes and oozes everywhere.    Q tips with also help with cleaning and getting deeper into the canal

Thank you!!! Thank you all. Should I do both dogs just in case.

it looks red, swollen . I see white scabbing on the outer edges Its possible it could be infected . If its ear mites he has had them for a long time. I think it is but could of possibly got an infection from scratching. You need to clean as much of that gunk out as you can with a towel or washcloth No q-tips. Leave that mess for the vets .

I just looks dirty. Wipe his ear clean and get the flush tomorrow. Beware they don't like it and will shake like crazy. Best to do outside.

We are thinking of going down to a cheaper plan. Everything just keeps going up.

I do it myself all the time and my Vet uses q-tips herself q tips for humans is bad shoves the wax past the hourglass shape of the ear canal and then builds up
