My dog continually has problems with scabbing on the very tips of his ears.  Sometimes these scabs open up and he bleeds.  Any idea what can cause this?

Dry weather?  Maybe put some neosporin on the edges??

Thanks, I will try that.

Also add some fish oils and some omega 3 to the diet - good for dry skin and the coat too.

Roxys ears are like that in the winter! i have no idea what causes hers

Sometimes it can be a liitle fungal infection on the ear tips....If the neosporin does not help...try an antifungal cream....any cream for athletes foot/jock itch will work....

I also think that mine get it from flapping their ears when they get up or what ever.  I have had good luck with the neosporin.

Thank you all.  I have started to put neosporin on them and they look better already.
