WTAF just came out of my dogs ear??? (Pic)

[Cocoloco2019]

Dog has just been scratching her ear, shook herself, then this clunked onto the floor. Feel quite sick and wtf is it?! The shell just crumbled and the bits inside feel like rock hard seeds - think pearl barley.

Canker?

Whatever it is, that is properly gross!

Just looks like dried wax to me (I’m a vet).

That's made my head go all itchy and crawly. But could it be grass seeds in amongst ear wax?

Am going to report this post

So it can be moved to sporners corner :-)

Looks like a dried grass seed head. Cost me a small fortune last year to get one of these removed from my dogs ear. They can cause infection. Luckily it came out. It's the worst time of the year for these. I check my dog after every walk now. Feel through her whole body including between the toes, and in her ears. Better to be safe than sorry.
