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.

    @tanza: IMO this is just skin pigment… if it is not bothering her... would not be worried Except >> l the surface is a bit rougher than the other parts<< … which definitely fit Arwen's condition and was not just skin pigment changes.

    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....

    @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....

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