Symptoms : This is a small pear-shaped growth 

 with the pedunculated root attached in the canal 

 of the ear. 



Treatment : This growth is best removed 

 by torsion, as follows : Seize the growth with 

 a pair of forceps, and twist it round and round 

 until it comes off. No further treatment is 

 required, except keeping the ear clean for a 

 few days with some boracic acid lotion.

Symptoms : Very often dogs, especially those 

 kept in kennels, suffer from a very scaly or scurfy 

 condition of the edges of the flaps of the ears, 

 which causes the hair to fall off, and the dog to 

 shake his head frequently. 



Treatment : Apply a little of the following 

 dressing to the parts once or twice a day. This 

 will remove the scurfiness, and stimulate the 

 growth of the hair. Once a week wash 

 the ears thoroughly with Cook's 3°/ mercurial 

 soap.
