It has some sore or bruise on it. The black tar may be a mix of blood and ear wax. You need to clean the area gently with soap and water. And you have to keep flies away from it, so that it won't get infected.
If the sore is deep or bigger than a dime, you might go to the vet or to PetsMart for a little medicine or salve to help out.
You could try to place a bandage over it, but your dog will probably remove it.

It sounds like you dog is what is called "fly blown" Horses get it really badly. The flies eat at their ears until they cause little sores. My poor dogs suffered from it badly in summer. I got some fly repellant cream from the pet shop (a big pet shop) as it was for horses. It smelt like fly spray and worked a treat! You might like to google it and you could find an organic recipe for fly repellant if you didn't want to put the chemical on him.
The black stuff is dried blood and goo

appears like ringworm to me too. Is it on the interior or the exterior element of the ear flap. you should use what the call "blue coat" on him and could save it from spreading yet you will possibly be able to desire to maintain it on all the time. There are additionally shampoos available that could help manage it too. check out the internet and notice what you will locate. Fosters and Smith might have it or KV VET may additionally carry something. i've got faith there might additionally be a vaccine for it out on the marketplace. i could nevertheless have him appeared at incase i'm incorrect, can be dry pores and skin. Is it scaly or flaky? in case you don't get it taken care of, it could worsen and you will possibly be able to easily capture it. Spores from the region of the ring trojan horse can get directly to different issues like fixtures, partitions, clothing and pores and skin. i could touch your vet interior the morning and get his/her enter on it. desire this enables.

That is really sad, I would most definately reccomend you to bring your dog to a vetinarian. Because probably the dog has an ear infection in the surface of his ears.
