I have an older Border Collie mix, Sadie, about 13 years old. Her hearing has been declining severely in the past 3 months. Today, I noticed moisture and a watery noise in her ear when I was petting her. I found a wet discharge in her right ear, which I cleaned with a paper towel. The discharge had an odor but was not as foul as a previous ear infection over a year ago. Could this discharge be the reason for her hearing loss, and why is there so much moisture in her ear? Sadie seems happy, her hearing has not improved, she is not scratching her ear, and does not show any discomfort. What color is the discharge, and is she shaking her head?
