My dog's ears look weird. Is it matted fur or a yeast infection?

Question

I’m not sure if there is something to be concerned with such as a yeast infection on my dogs ears or if it’s just matted

I can't tell if that is that is some sort of grime on the ear or if it is something of concern. Typically with yeast infections, you can detect a very obvious odor emanating from the ears. They will also have a characteristics red, inflamed appearance if your pup has been itching them. If it is on both ears, I find it harder to believe it is grime and more likely that it is something pathologic. I would get it checked out if you can, though it is not urgent. It can definitely wait until after the holiday weekend if your pup is not bothering them. Hope this helps.
