311. The thin Golden Retriever with black ears and brown elbows
Toilet Training Your First Puppy in Singapore
The Golden Retriever came for his annual vaccination. Well groomed. No complaints.
However, the inside of his ear flaps should be normally pink. They were now over 80% black with pigments. A sign of scratching of the ears. No foul smell from the ears. Dark brown wax in the left ear and some pain.
"Did he use his back legs to scratch his ear flaps?" I asked.
"Yes," the owners were surprised to know that this was not normal action.
Most likely, the horizontal ear canal was irritating. Proper ear maintenance would resolve the problem.
Another area seen was the dark reddish brown elbows. They were elbow sores. The dog had been licking it for some months.
For a big breed like the Golden Retriever, the ears and elbows are areas needing maintenance and most owners are unaware of this.
