My four-year old rottie, Lady, has medium to large size brown, slightly elevated brown spots on the underside of her ear, close to the inner ear.
She whimpers when she scratches at her ears. Please advise.
Hi Fiona
These scabs are very likely made worse by her scratching, and could be a result of an ear infection, allergies, or ear mites.
The only way to know for sure is to have her examined by your veterinarian so I’d recommend that you get her an appointment just as soon as you can.
They’re obviously bothering her and the sooner you get a diagnosis and treatment the better. Best of luck, hope she’s feeling much better soon.
