It is just a term used by dog breeders and handlers. When you gently feel the ear flaps of some dogs, they do seem very leather-like, don't they? But leather is the result of the process of tanning, and that certainly has not happened to the ears of living dogs.
The ear flaps are called 'leather'.
The extra pocket on a dog's ear is called the ear canal or ear flap. It helps amplify sound, protect the ear canal, and regulate temperature. It is a normal and functional part of a dog's anatomy.
Leather is tanned in a Tannery.
Two, one in each ear, just like humans do.
Is the dog constantly scratching at his ears with his paw? And is his ear area foul smelling? My dog has these symptoms and we were told he has canker. We are presently treating him with ear drops called Surolan twice daily which can be bought at your local vets and he is also on antibiotics. After we finish with the Surolan, we have to clean the ear out twice daily using an ear cleanser called Oticlean. Serious infections can be helped by an operation (sorry, don't know the name of it) which cleans around the inner ear and removes any bacteria. But, in saying this, this operation costs around 1500euro and can have side effects including face paralysis. I would strongly recommend bringing your dog to the vet, if you already have not, to get him checked out. I also found this website while I was researching the topic for a project for school and I found it helpful so I hope it can help you! http:/www.natural-pet-care.com/natural-pet-health-blog/dogs-puppies/what-is-an-ear-canker-in-dogs

Dog ear wax is brown because it contains a pigment called melanin, which gives it its color. Melanin is produced by the body and is responsible for the brown color of the ear wax in dogs.
Yes, all Italian Greyhound dogs are prone to ear infections.
Ok well you need to buy dog ear cleaning solution. And spray some in the dogs ear. Then you need to be carful with this. But, you need to take a baby wipe and gently clean the dogs ear out. And do not go in to far because you can damage the ear drum and can possibly make the dog deaf
there is one i remember going to called the 'Yu Ba-rring Puppee in-ear'.
NO
Although there were no results for Otomix, there were some for Otomax. Otomax is an ear antibiotic for dogs. It is used to treat bacterial ear infections of the outer ear of dogs.
It is part of the inner ear or a leather bag and the question is in the wrong category.
