Hello I own an Shepherd mix…just over a year old. I had brought him into the vet about 2 months ago because the tips on both ears were dry and crust…the vet told me it was ntohing to worry about. Within the last couple of weeks I noticed that they were starting to bleed…now they are raw and bloody..just the one. I am able to clean it up and put polysporn on it…but then it wear off and starts again…it isn’t a continious blood stream…he isn’t whining or anything…but when he is outside in the snow he will twitch his ears and shake his head. I cannot afford to take him to the vet…I am on a fixed income…please any suggestions would help…and please I know there are very rude people out there so do not say I should not own dogs…I spent lots of money on him at the vet…ran up my credit card….his neuter, blood tests, training, X-rays and vaccines….so yes I take care of my dog and he is fed expensive food…Orijen.
Any questions just ask and check back as I will answer them in the details part…
ok for those who want to see picture please e-mail me at my other e-mail address k9capture_16@live.ca…my yahoo mail will not load…thanks

I would continue doing what you’re doing, keeping them clean and moisturized with an antibiotic ointment (neosporin or generic equivalent).
Keep an eye on him to make sure he isn’t rubbing them raw on carpeting or furniture or trying to scratch them (like our healing wounds, they itch when healing). If that is the case you’ll want to keep an e-collar on him when you can’t watch so he can’t continue the cycle of breaking open the wounds.
Good Luck!
Hmm. Please show pictures. Thank you.
You should get a second opinion.
Actually, I have a dog now that has very similar looking ears and she was diagnosed with a fungal infection. Have you tried using a topical anti-fungal medication to see if that helps? You can get miconazole or Lamasil at a drugstore and see if it improves. It at least won’t hurt it.
