    @elbrant That's good to know! We are in Kansas where pollen and allergies are rampant lol, I am wondering more if that's what it is since the build-up isn't increasing very quickly at all. Seems to be worse after we spend a while outside.

    Our Buana has the same thing, since he is a puppie. Every winter his ears get dry, and loose hair. For Buana there is no medical issue behind it but it looks like the dry air of winter gives the edges of the ears a hard time. We have tried all kind of things but nothing helps, we stopped finding what to do and let it, and in spring the ears get the hairs back.. But with Buana it does not itch.. You can try almond oil, but you have to start before they ears loose the hairs...

    Am I alone in thinking the world has gone mad? What on earth was the vet thinking of? I trust you'll be looking for another vet? I wnt add further advice on removing glue - you've been given lots of good advice. I hope

    Corn has no value to a dog anyway, especially the cob.

    @obi1 said in Ear Rash. Dog Ear Vasculitis: Do you know of better ear muffs? Obi, I saw a funny looking knitted cap that might fit over Basenji sized ears on etsy.com. I think it would help prevent the ear edges and tips from becoming frostbitten. The shop seems to focus on Cats, but the owner appears to be willing to do special orders. Worth a try....

    The dogs in the picture look so much wilder to me. I liked the smaller ears. also they talk about the dogs had short muzzles. Very cool pictures, thanks for posting the link.
