Our little mix (Chiweenie) has some stinky black discharge in her ear. We cleaned it out with some cotton balls and some cleaner from the Pet store. I read on line that a mixture on Apple Cider vinegar and water 50:50 can be used. Swab the ear clean with a few times a day will help. Started last night. Could be yeast infection?

Any ideas or remedies?

I mix 50% white vinegar with rubbing alcohol and squirt with syringe about 3 CC's. Usually have to do it about every 2 months. This is on a malti-poo

if the ear itself is reddish or pink, it is infected. Cleaning can help prevent and keep ears clean, but if you never really clean them and they get past a certain point, a vet will need to flush them, treat them, and medicate

If it stinks, I assume it's gonna get infected and clean it. I just use the ear cleaning stuff the vet gave me

Almost positive it’s this

My dog had one, and it was exactly as you describe.

Clean them really good and keep an eye on it and it will go away. Could get medicated drops from a vet if you wanted

found out about this on here and it was a life changer. No more vet trips about our labs ears. 5k+ reviews with and average of 4.8 stars. Not often you see something so overwhelmingly positively reviewed.

Yep. Cocker mix had a yeast infection and was as you described. Vet gave us a big syringe and told us to flush with hydrogen peroxide twice a day. Was gone in about 3 days. We flush both ears as a precaution now about every 6 months.
