Yeasty Ears
What is that?
Yeasty bully ears are due to yeast organisms. The fungi are part of your bulldog's skin and ear microflora. If the ear's skin barrier is injured, it will overgrow, and yeasty ear disease will ensue.
Symptoms
Yeasty bully ears are often itchy, thickened, crusty, swollen, discolored, and painful, with a smelly discharge. Dr. Kraemer's V4B bully rinses and wipes in low-cost bundles can help prevent and manage this condition.
