Help Needed! Is it an Ear infection

[Cocosmammy123]

Hi all I clean cocos ears with a wipe every few days but lately they are stinking and realy crusty . Do u think it could be infected ?? This is what they look like ?

That looks yeasty and could be infected as well. Trip to the vets could be in order and some probiotics and maybe a change of food.

I would say infected if they are crusty.

Don't panic. You are the pack leader! I'm glad you made an appt though. It looks like Coco needs to see the vet for sure.

 

[Cocosmammy123]

It's spreading realy fast ? X

Maybe she's having an allergic reaction to something? How long until the vet appt? Have you ever given benedryl before? I'm not saying that this is hives --- but what I can tell you is that even hives can look pretty scarey. (see pic of Bea's first hives below. Freaked me OUT. Thank god I had EBN...) Grandma worked in a medical office for many, many years and when she saw that first pic you posted, she immediately said, "Infection". Glad you're going to the vet --- hopefully it's sooner than later!

Poor thing!!! Keep an eye on it. If it spreads very very fast and you feel really concerned then call the vets again and see if they can squeeze you in earlier.

They can fit us in at 5 poor coco she's just feeling sorry for her self. I think it's yeast av noticed she's got a horrible smell to her fingers crossed the vets can sort it out ty guys.

You guys were right she's got a bad yeast infection in her ears and paws we have shampoo and ear drops x

Glad she is on the mend, and hope she heals fast.

The ears look to me like an infection of some sort, but I'm not familiar with hives or rash. May be a allergic reaction of some sort, but if I had to guess , probably a yeast infection. A trip to the vet will sort it out, and treatment can be given. Hope they figure it out, and he gets better.

Glad you guys got it figured out

You need a food change in my opinion! Seems you've been fighting things for a time now! Have you checked out alternatives?
