Question

COULD a yeast infection in the ear go to the snout? its started at a big bump that came to a point then after a few days its just a flat red circle. Pet's info: Dog | Siberian Husky | Female | unspayed | 6 months and 10 days old | 25 lbs

The yeast that cause ear infections are found on the skin and in the ears of normal dogs in small numbers but can proliferate and cause an infection under the right circumstances. An infection in the ear cannot spread, but it is possible for dogs to get fungal skin infections and both skin infections and ear infections can be related to allergies. If this red spot is not bothering Mika and seems to be resolving it sounds like you could monitor the area for the next few days. If she develops more spots, if the spot seems itchy or painful, or if it is not gone in the next 3-5 days I'd recommend having it examined by a veterinarian.
