Flakey ears?

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • M

    Hi everyone! My 5 month old Basenji puppy has recently gotten little bumps and flaky skin inside his ears. it's very dry and you can just scrape some off with your nail, (gross I know). It doesn't bleed, it almost looks like if your skin was peeling after a sunburn, but more dry. I'm wondering it he had an allergic reaction to something or if any of you have had something similar? He will be going to the vet within a week, but I just wanted some peace of mind. Thanks.

    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

    Not uncommon for baby puppies to get yeast or ear mites…... best to visit the Vet to get it cleared up....

    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.

    You can go to the AKC website - www.akc.org - and look under Registration. They should give you all relevant info. Terry
