He was getting chronic ear infections & they had to go in & remove his ear canal & laser it shut. There was a calcium like flap that kept moisture in it & he is now deaf in that ear. He is being a good patient...he normally stays outside in his run with our other Lab, but he will be in for about 3 weeks! It is pretty disgusting & we were worried about him-since he is 11 years old, but it all went well & as you can see-Jax & him have become good buddies!!
