Thank you for submitting your question regarding Jade. She will need to see her veterinarian as she may have an ear infection. This painful and needs medication to resolve. Huskies are also prone to variety of skin diseases some of which can affect the ears. A common one results from a deficiency in zinc. Her veterinarian will exam her and tell you the best course of action. I hope this information helps!
