    @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

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