If signs of sensitivity occur, bathe your pet with mild soap and rinse with a large amount of water. If signs continue, consult a veterinarian immediately. Diagnosis: Ear mites normally cause a dry, dark, brown, waxy, exudate with crust in the ears of dogs. The mites are easily observed by placing some of the ear exudate on a dark surface and watching carefully for white specks walking away. DO NOT probe, swab or injure the delicate tissue of the ear when removing exudate. Inflamed, watery or blocked ear canals indicate a more serious condition, which requires the service of a veterinarian.
