Monty's ears.

Inside one of them is clean as a whistle, the other ... BLACK !!! :-\

I've tried cleaning it as much as I can, and I've spotted some blood inside the dirty ear where he's been scratching. Any suggestion on how I can clean it properly ? Just warm soapy water with cotton wool ? It really is BLACK in there, think I need a helmet with a torch attached to it.

I'm also confuddled why it is so dirty, and in 1 ear ??

If he is scratching at it he could have an ear infection. Moo is prone to them, trip to the vets and £60 lighter usually sorts it out!

You can get a cleaner from the vets which isn't as dear, over the counter thing.

Thanks my love, I'm off tomorrow and Tuesday, I will pop up the vets and see what they can give me.

Sounds like an infection to me as well.

Could well be an infection. If you need to clean it, though, I'd either use a pad of cotton wool dipped in warm salty water, or cotton wool dipped in warm olive oil.

hope everything goes ok, let us know what happens
