Miss Emma, who turns one on Friday, has always had surprisingly clean ears. Last year I only cleaned them three or four times and they were never that bad. During the winter all I did was check them. This last weekend I looked at them and the left one was terrible! The strange thing is the right one was clean. Her left one has always been the dirtier one but never this bad. After cleaning it real well I called the vet on Monday and they said it might an infection or allergies. I checked it again last night and it is starting to get bad again. I have also noticed that she is rolling in the grass and scratching some. I have heard that Bassets are prone to allergies. Does anyone else have a dog exhibiting this? If so, do you think it is a spring allergy issue or one that will continue all summer? I don't mind going to the vet, but I really don't think they will do anything but clean her ears and give her an antihistamine. I have though of giving her half a Benadril to see if that helps.
