My dog has some markings within her ear, looks like an ear infection. I was wondering if I can just buy some sort of ear drops specific IRS for animals because I'm not quite sure of the cost for when I take her to be seen by the veterinarian.

Hi! Thanks for entrusting with Nala's care! Yes, you may try an ear cleanser to get rid of any discharge. You can clean her ears weekly to every other week going forward. If it does not resolve, she should see a veterinarian. Good luck!
