| Keeley--ear update! Thanks to everyone who helped me out! We went to the vet this morning and they looked in his ear, and it wasn't ear mites... it was an ear infection. They said that he was at a 3 on a scale of 1-10 and it was good I caught it early! Now we are giving his ear drops twice a day and using a cleaner on his ears after each bath. They asked if I had gotten him groomed recently and I told them I had and the vet and he tech looked at each other like "ooohh, that make sense..." and then told me to be careful not to get very much water in his ears. I didn't ask any questions, but now wish I would have asked if it is common for dogs to get ear infections after getting groomed. Anyway-- thanks for all the help. |

| All I've heard is that you should be really careful not to drown their ears while bathing them - and to make sure that they are dried off really well after the bath. Excess water left in the ear will cause an ear infection. Next time just request that they gently put a cotton ball or something in his ear to help keep the water out - you don't have to stop taking him to the groomer because of it.
