Yellow discharge is usually related to a bacterial infection and should be ideally treated with antibiotic ear drops, which require a prescription. I would recommend to have Chloe checked by your local vet.

    Hi! Thanks for entrusting with Nala's care! Yes, you may try an ear cleanser to get rid of any discharge. You can clean her ears weekly to every other week going forward. If it does not resolve, she should see a veterinarian. Good luck!
