My 9 yr old toy poodle has yellow/white gooey discharge one of his ears... why and how do I get rid of it?

Answer 1

It sounds like an ear infection. I would take it to the vet to have it treated. Afterwards make sure to have your dog's ears cleaned on a regulat basis. You can have this done at the vet's or the groomers.

Answer 2

Sounds like an ear infection. Can be more likely to happen after a recent bath. Needs to be diagnosed by a veterinarian. Treatment will involve an ear ointment or drops and possibly an oral antibiotic +/- pain medication if warranted. Most likely it's a simple infection (bacteria or yeast), but other causes of the discharge include: a tumor inside the ear canal or a foreign body (something stuck in the ear canal that doesn't belong there).

Answer 3

Probably an infection - it is best to go to the vet. If it is on the outside of the ear - try using medicated ointment on it. If it is inside the ear - and smells, go to the vet! Don't mess around with it - your poodle deserves good care!

Answer 4

Sounds like an ear infection. A vet gave me meds and ear cleaning solution for mine.

Answer 5

It's infected. Your vet will need to swab it to identify the bacterias, most likely yeast and something else. He/she will give you ear cleaner and ear drops to give your dog. Maybe pills as well. It takes about 14 days to clear it up if you are consistent in caring for it.

Answer 6

Answer 7

Go to the vet. They will either flush it and give antibiotics, or have you clean it and give you antibiotics.
