Hi can anyone post a picture of what a normal inside of a guinea pig ear looks like. Preferably a pink one. I've just picked up my piggies after I've been away and one looks to have a strange ear..

Sorry not the best picture.

What looks odd about it? Is it the different skin tones you are referring to?
 
Well I don't know if just part of her ear but they look different to her sisters but her ears all black so I'm struggling to compare. It looks like it's something in it (or it could just be her ear.
First is the right ear I'm questioning and the second is the left.

It looks like a build up of wax; ear wax has always a similar colour to the skin. I would recommend to have it checked by a vet; he will also be able to give you a good product to treat it in the future that is safer to use than the home cures you find making the rounds.
