The ear wax should be a yellow color. Dogs have an ear-cleaning mechanism that will naturally keep their ears clean. Your dog’s ears should be cleaned with a solution specifically developed for this purpose. To keep your dog’s ears healthy, you should check them at least once weekly. Some signs to look for include: Odor Discharge Blood Swelling of the ear or narrowing of the ear canals Ulcers in the ear canal Redness to the ear and/or canal Scratching of the ears Excessive shaking of the head Tilting of the head Turning in circles Acting off-balance.
