I have a 6yr old black lab and hes had an ear infection before and I got it taken care of.
Recently his ear's have worked up a smell and I heard from a few people that it's because his ears hang over his ear holes all day.
Is this correct? and if not what should I do?

You could call your Vet about this... all it would take is a call. Anyhow, I don't know. If his ears do hang over his ear holes all day, then obviously it traps more bacteria, etc etc. The only thing I could think of is to gently clean your dogs ears. Talk to your vet about having him do it, or you could do it yourself, and just ask the vet how to go about it, and whether to use just plain water or what.

Do NOT put water in your dogs ears..

Call your vet. My brothers olde english bulldog gets this all the time. There is this thing like eye drops, just a few drops in each ear and you massage their ear to get all the crap. It comes out looking like res from a bong, really gross.
