ive noticed my 8 month old staffy has a swollen ear that he keeps scratching we looked into it and it is covered in lots of little blistery spots from tip to deep inside and is a little gunky with a brownish colour.
does this sound like mange?? please tell me its just an infection id feel terrible if it was mange!!

i'd agree with that. Even if it ismange it's nothing u've done wrong call the vet tomorow tho

Mange usally starts around the belly and inside of legs i have seen lots of this on badgers and foxes ECT they catch it the same as any dog...it defo doesnt sound like mange..But i agree with DD.
hope it all gets sorted xx

my spriger when i 1st got him had mange his was on his ear's

ohh really did the vet say it was quite rare..was it sarcoptic mange or demodectic mange?? do you know x

sorry about spelling x

i googled it and found this
Dog Symptoms Guide

it says "The areas most often affected are the ears and the elbows"
