dog ear infection?

VLT

I've noticed my pugs ears are a little dirtier than usual and tonight i noticed a milky coloured fluid in both ears, is this the sign of an ear infection?
any advice appreciated.
regards vlt

MIght be, might not. Only your vet when he/she has actually seen the dog would be able to diagnose it.

I would say boil up some water, let it cool with salt in it. Once it's cold soothe the ears with cotton wool soaked in the water. I would advice doing this as it will do no harm but also seek vets advice tomorrow.

My lab is quite susceptible to ear infections............usually I can tell as he starts scratching his ear a lot, shaking his head and so on........also there's usually a slight smell around his ear. It could just be a build up of wax etc so the cleaning advice is a good idea. I'd check with your vet though, just to be on the safe side!

As above, no-one can tell you what it is or isn't, vet trip required IMHO.

Thanks for all the advice. i've bathed his ears and booked into vets tomorrow!
Hope he's ok.

UPDATE,
Had Vincent to the vets today and he's got a really bad infection in both ears, so he's on antibiotics for 2 weeks to begin with and see how it goes, hope it gets better soon!
