What is it with the edge of Dobe ears getting dry crusty patches? I dont know what to put on them. It doesnt seem to bother Libby but it bugs the heck out of me. Any suggestions?

Bag Balm is good for everything 
The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated ... I hold that, the more helpless a creature, the more entitled it is to protection by man from the cruelty of man.

I second Bag Balm. Bud had a torn spot on his ear that dried and cracked in the winter and I always used Bag Balm on it.
It matters to the one you save.

Sayman Salve. Used it for years. Same results as Bag Balm, just harder to find.

Never had the problem, but I agree with Linda,
Bag Balm is great for alot of things.

I'm glad I read this. I've been wondering what happened to Shadows ears for some time now. I was thinking, was it a new treat I gave her or her thyroid.
Now I know what it is. I put some of the Protect a Paw on her ears and it seems to work on getting her ears softer. it's just on the ends of her ears never had that before. I guess the winter has just been too cold for all of us. Thanks for posting this. I was going nuts wondering what was going on with her now I know.
Oh Happy Ears!!!!
