Dry skin on the tips of her ears
Any suggestions as to what I can put on her ears.
This has only developed over the past week,she doesn't have it anywhere else.
They are probably the size of a small finger nail.

Re: Dry skin on the tips of her ears
There are a few things that work really well - a little coconut oil (rubbed on and added to her food); about 5ml of apple cider vinegar added to her water bowl; a dash of sudocreme rubbed on.
Do you know what could be causing the dryness?

Re: Dry skin on the tips of her ears
This looks very similar to what Bane had! His ears started going scaly and then he lost the hair on the top edges of his ears:
Not saying it is the same thing, but his started like that. We were cleaning his ears with a 50/50 Apple Cider Vinegar/Water mix and then applying coconut oil which worked for a while. In the end it got so bad, we had to use some bits the vet prescribed. Does she itch there?

My dog had exactly the same as this. He has had a few skin and ear problems over the last few month. I changed his ear drops from otodex to zymox after reading about yeast infections in and around the ears. I have also added coconut oil to his food and this has worked a treat.
