The other day I noticed this ugly, nasty "plug" in my Silkie's ear. Ewww. Poor baby. She must have had an ear infection going on for a long time. She is getting better now. But this is what it looked like:



















So I carefully pulled this thing off/out. It left a gaping hole in her ear. I flushed & cleaned it out as best I could.









This is what the plug looks like








I clean it out every night with a warm peroxide/water solution, then pack the hole with neosporin. I put 100mg of Amoxicilling in her drinking water, along with vitamins. She is perking up well. This is what it looks like now





And this is her feeling better.
 
Looks like you're doing a good job! Hope she gets better soon!

Thanks for sharing. It looks like it is filling in nicely. Is that yellow part in the middle, pus? I can't believe how much better it looks. She seems more peppy in these photos also.
