My dog's ear has a green, infected bump. Can I treat it at home?

Question

My dog has a large bump in his ear that looks infected. He's had it about a year now. The color has turned a creamy greenish color. It blead after I put a warm press on it last night and then when I went to clean it this morning some of it peeled away. Is there something I can do to make it all go away at home or stop the infection

Hello. Unfortunately, this type of growth can only be surgically removed by your veterinarian. Until you can plan to have the surgery, try to keep it clean by using warm soapyvwater and dabbing it dry. It would be best to have this looked at as soon as you can and discuss the necessary surgery with your veterinarian.
