Your dog may have an ear infection or a fox tail in her ear. If it's a fox tail, she needs to go to the vet asap before it burrows deeper. In any case, get her to the vet, they can swab out the ear very safely and look for anything that might be in there

You need to be going very soon! Imagine the pain you would be in if you had pus coming out of your ear? You would already have gone and be on anitibiotics by now! GO Don't worry about the other medication just go take care of your dogs ear before his eardrum ruptures or he shakes his head so much he breaks a blood vessel in one and gets a hematoma in it and it fills up with blood like a baloon, then he will need surgery. He needs ear meds now, or he could get a worse inner ear infection that could lead to vestibular disease.

Your dog needs to see a vet now. It sounds as if she has an ear infection which will be really painful for her and could cause complications if left untreated.

This happened to my dog, and I noticed because when I scratched her ears, they would make a wet mushing sound. I took her to the vet and she had TWO ear infections, which I didn't even know dogs could get! He put her on antibiotics and she was fine.

my dog's ear,
The best thing is to take your dog to the Vet. it could the metabolism but sounds like an ear infection, your vet will probably start her on something like tresaderm, an ear drop, works great with my four dogs. Good luck

Hi blink,
Get her to the vet as soon as you can... if left untreated it can cause serious problems for her. Plus, the longer you wait, the higher your vet bill will likely be.

You should probably just take it to the vet to get it checked out
