My pup has a red rash mark on the inside if his left ear. His right ear is completely clear. He doesn’t appear bothered by it, isn’t itching it or anything. It has been there for approximately two weeks. Should I take him in? What do you think it is? Will it go away on its own?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This would actually warrant a visit to your veterinarian as this may be present due to an infection for example. I recommend you have him evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Best of luck!
