Split ears on a Lurcher??
I have adopted a Lurcher Cross and she has a little cut on each ear which does not seem to be healing.
The dogs home i adopted her from said she was housed in the kennel with her brother (i know this is true as i have seen them together in the kennel) and her brother had nipped her in a fight. Another member of staff at the same dogs home told me that this type of cut is a common in the Lurcher and they always get splits on there ears!!
Has anyone else heard (excuse the pun) of the same sort of ear problem??

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.After looking at the cuts for some time they do not look like little "V" cuts, They are rough and look like the skin is torn. After talking to the dogs home again they said that she has had an ear infection in the past and as her ears have been hurting her she had been shakeing her head alot and this is the cause of the splits!!
I dont think this would happen as i have known dogs shake there heads when there ears are itching or something like that but have never seen there ears split as a result of head shaking!!
Anyone got any ideas??
I don't know anything about lurchers, but the dog's home don't seem to be very confident about what they are saying. Surely if they have been caring for dogs for a long time they should know?
How about getting a vet's opinion as I personally wouldn't trust the opinion of the kennel's from what you have said it doesn't seem very reliable.
