Ear mites are very common in some areas and sometimes difficult to battle. If the vet does confirm ear mites then I suggest you notify the breeder so she can treat her dogs. Since the breeder is being generous in letting you pay out the dog I don't know that I would deduct the ear treatment from the price of the dog. The breeder might offer to let you do that. It is possible the dog has a yeast ear infection which is also pretty common with some yorkies. Please keep us posted on what the vet says. Also, get some good ear cleaner from the vet so you can start keeping his ears clean. Good luck with your new fur baby. |
