Call to Action: Look in your dogs ears

I was sitting with Luda on Friday night and happened to check her ear and thought, thats odd it almost looks like the skin is black. Holy macaroni! I have NEVER seen a dog's ears this bad. Sorry to be graphic, but I almost needed a shovel to get the gunk out there was that much.

There is no way that this much gunk accumulates in 10 days at a shelter. I realize its dirty, but this is pure neglect. I spent over 45 minutes cleaning out her ears with peroxide & q-tips and then a good scrub with ear meds & cotton balls.

I would encourage everyone who reads this blog - check your dogs ears. Its not hard. If they have brown gunk - go put a little peroxide on a cotton ball and wipe the inside. Continue for about 10 days and then you'll only have to check then about twice a year.
