oz0707 65 Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 I've heard it being something to do with when they shake their ears or head Quote Link to post Share on other sites
squab 2,875 Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 could be a hystiosytoma,ark at me sounding like i know what im on lol,but my dog had one,it grew to about size your thumb nail had it checked by vet they need stick needle in and look under microscope to confirm but they are harmless and generally disapear within few months,my dogs has gone now quite common apparently,although maybe foreign object in there who knows Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Squirrel_Basher 17,102 Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 If there dog is shaking its head a lot you need to look in the ear for mites just visable to our eyes .Probably a burst vessel in the ear of which there are many .So it from the bottom so it keeps draining as treat any ear problems accordingly Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pappabear 128 Posted August 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 Thanks guys vet said the same , he hasn't got ear mites but does have smaller than normal ear canals apparantly , been told to clean them with olive oil , squirt a little in with a syringe then massage in then clean with cotton wool when he starts to shake his head Quote Link to post Share on other sites
