My Dog Has A Brown Waxy Discharge From One Ear Only, What Could This Be?

My dog started shaking his head alot then scratching his ear, we took him to the vets and they said his ear was ok, but the discharge is now covering the whole inside of his ear, it is red/brown ? dried blood mixed with wax. There are no obvious white spots or anything else coming out.

    Ear infection, either bacterial or yeast.  smear it on a white paper and look with a magnifying glass; if you see red dots then it's mites. Your dog needs to go to the vet, have the ear flushed then treated. You'll be sent home w/ear wash and an goo to put in the ear. Don't use the goo til about an hour after the wash. The wash solution is meant to dry out the ear canal...so your goo will be dried up in the canal and not do the job. Also, when you squeeze the stuff in its ear, make sure there is a lot of product down in the point. Otherwise, it makes a sucking noise which is very frightful...specially when it's jammed into your ear!

      Wax .  Maybe an infection.  Clean gently with warm water and cotton balls. If it continues see a vet.
