i have a toy breed that has an ear problem that will not go away. i know that its not ear mites or ticks. but the who inside of the ear is red black ichy and bleeding from him scratching it. im trying to look for a home remady that will help him.
Answers:
what breed is it?
some breeds, like poodles, get ear problems and infections easily. the black stuff inside is a symptom.
these breeds need to have their ears regularly cleaned. this involved plucking all the hair within and cleaning the ear out with saline solution, and sometimes adding medication.
you can look up online how to clean your dogs ears properly. be careful though - dont poke down too far or you can burst their eardrum.

Probably an ear yeast infection, I had to get stuff from the vet and wash the ears out several times a day and then once a month for preventive.
Take him to the vet. My dog had the same thing and it was a yeast infection caused by an allergic reaction to his new soap. We put him on antibiotic for a few weeks and he got better.
Go to a vet, you cant treat something if you dont know what it is.
Sounds like an ear infection or something in his ear. Sorry no home remedies for that.
How do you know its not ear mites? did you take him to a vet? It is rare that a dog will get ear mites but it is still possible. If you've had the exudate (the black stuff) looked at under a microscope already and found that it was not ear mites, the vet should have told you it was either a yeast infection or bacterial infection. If it is a yeast infection it will smell really bad and you can use the over-the-counter yeast infection cream for women. Use it twice a day for about 4-5 days. Also clean his ears once a day for about a week, with a doggy ear cleaner. It is important to check to find out what you are dealing with before you try to fix it on your own. You could make your dog go deaf, or potentially kill him if you try to use stuff that is not given to you by the vet. Take him to the vet and have it checked out.
My Lab gets chronic ear infections in one ear. The only way to prevent it is constant cleaning with ear solution (either from the vet or petstore). But first you have to get the infection cleared up and that means a trip to the vet for antibiotic ear ointment. Usually dogs who have flopped over ears are very prone to yeast infections due to the lack of air circulation.
you need to take that poor baby to the vet!
Get an E-Collar at your nearest pet supply store. This will keep him from agitating it and help let it heal. Put some neosporin on it immediately and if this does not go away in a week, get him to a vet.
Well it could be a great number of things.The main thing here is that u don't want to risk waiting to long before doing something about it,cause if the ear infection goes deeper you could end up with a dog with much more problems than just an itchy ear.And not to mention the level of annoyance and pain your dog is suffering right now!Home remedies aren't good enough for your dog,as they aren't good enough for yourself,your child,your mother,father or other family member.If you had an itchy ear which was annoying you and it was bleeding due to all the scratching wouldn't you got to the doctor?Do the same for your dog,go to a vet!!!
Hello
Could be an ear infection.
Best thing to do would be to take him to a vet and get him checked over.
He will be able to give you prescription only medicaction which works better and quicker than home remady's.
