I asked a question earlier about both ears of my dog looking like they've been cut and are splitting, but I didn't have good pictures..Is this normal ? Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua | Male | 7 lbs

Hi there! Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It is hard to evaluate thoroughly just from pictures though if you are referring to that little deviation of tissue in the bottom of the ear, that is perfectly normal. It is called the cutaneous marginal pouch. Have a good day!
