SparkyTansy Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Millie has smaller ear canals and has never had a yeast infection. It's always Ruby! If I didn't keep forgetting to maintenance clean them she might not get them weird! All my dogs with bigger ear canals never have problems... but spartan and Sorrel (mums weim) had terribly small canals and they got the most issues.

Mason_Gibbs Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Yup smaller canals are worse as they trap in more moisture. Ear issues are a systemic problem though i find with Mason. If his allergies are under control his ears seem fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubyStar Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Then my two like to prove that theory wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkyTansy Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Same here MG - if Spartan's ears went bad his skin issues would follow, or visa versa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poo-Fong Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Ears - we use Malaseb medicated shampoo 1:25 with water to clean ears - works an absolute treat! A Poodle breeder/exhibitor told me about this years ago and it does an awesome job :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poo-Fong Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Same here MG - if Spartan's ears went bad his skin issues would follow, or visa versa. Yep, the two seem to go hand in hand... especially with a change of season - we see loads of dogs with itchy skin & bad ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mim Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Can somebody PM me the name/prefix of the less-than-reputable Flat Coated Retriever breeder in WA? I am pretty sure I know who it is but somebody looking for a puppy has asked me and I don't want to give the wrong name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RubyStar Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Tiggy that is what Millie does to Ruby, pinches it directly out of her mouth. I'm sure she'd do it to others too but they rarely play with toys with other dogs around. emery, sorry to hear about your grooming disaster Don't feel bad. Hope the little guy is ok!

SparkyTansy Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Lulu is the same as well! but lately I have noticed that Lulu's puppy passport is soon to expire, as Ari doesnt let her get away with quite so much, including stealing directly out of her mouth! Emery I am glad that your mum's dog is ok - don't feel bad, though, accidents happen!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
