My Poodle has very hard and lumpy scabs on the tips of her ears after getting nicked at the groomer. What can I do to help them heal? Pet's info: Dog | Poodle | Female | unspayed | 11 months and 29 days old | 26 lbs

You can put a little Neosporin or coconut oil to help soften them and help them heal. I would try to keep her from flapping her ears too much or scratching them. if she is flapping them a lot, you can buy a "no flap ear wrap" online. If she is scratching it a lot, I would put a cone collar on her. If they aren't healing or really bothering her, I would have your vet take a look at them to ensure she doesn't need antibiotics or pain meds. I would not give any human pain meds as most are toxic to dogs. I hope this helps!
