Hey everyone, hoping to get some opinions on this.
My dog is a 2 year old male Mini Goldendoodle, 28 lbs. He got groomed about a week and a half ago and started scratching afterwards. Honestly I thought it was just normal post-grooming itchiness so I didn’t think much of it. But recently I realized he was STILL scratching, and when I checked him over I noticed this thick dark crust, almost black, on the edges of both his ears. He was also shaking his head a lot.

I took him to the vet as soon as I found the crusts. The vet thought it was some kind of allergic reaction and gave him antihistamines. That alone didn’t really stop the itching so I’ve been using a topical anti-itch treatment too. The scratching has calmed down a bit but he’s still scratching and still shaking his head, and the crusts are still there.
The weird part is that when I look inside his ears, the canals actually look pretty clean. No heavy wax, no dark coffee ground looking debris, no pus or discharge. The problem seems to be just on the outer edges of both ear flaps. But since he keeps shaking his head I’m wondering if there’s something going on deeper inside that I can’t see.

Some things I’ve been wondering:
• Reaction to the grooming shampoo or products?
• Water trapped in his ears from the bath?
• Yeast or bacterial ear infection?
• Ear mites? (though he doesn’t have the typical coffee ground debris)
• Some kind of ear margin skin condition?
• Or is the crusting just from him scratching and shaking so much?

Has anyone’s dog gone through something like this after grooming? What did it end up being? And if you dealt with crusts like this on the ear edges, how long did they take to heal?

Ansem started redistributing his $ANSEM memecoin trading fees to holders - "stimmy checks" as the community calls them. everyone was arguing about who actually got paid. nobody had data. that itch you get when a question is answerable from public data but nobody's done it? yeah.

so I indexed his distribution wallet's full history straight from the Solana blockchain: 979 payouts, ~$20M. found that 7 wallets took 72% of it, while 972 regular holders split the rest (median payout ~$1.3k).

then I had way too much fun with the frontend: the whole site is styled as a US Treasury stimulus check - pale green safety paper, engraved serif, and when you paste a wallet that got paid, it renders a check with a rubber PAID stamp. the design gimmick IS the share button, basically.

stack, for the curious: a python indexer hitting public RPC on a 15-min schedule (orchestrated with Prefect on my mac mini), spitting out a static JSON that a zero-framework vanilla JS site reads. no backend, no database server, deploys on Vercel free tier. the whole thing costs me $0/month to run.

happy to answer anything about the indexing or the design approach.
