I'm going to make an appointment with the vet to see if there is anything they can do for him. I figured by now he should not be shaking his head. His ear isn't red or smelly or hot to the touch and he let's me manipulate it, I'm almost positive it's not an infection.
Anyone else experience this? |
This happened to Toto and she
did develop an infection. I use earplugs every time she has a bath since then and haven't encountered this problem again. My vet also discovered that instead of plucking the hairs from her ears that the groomer was just using sharp pointed scissors and clipping them way down in there. This caused a mat of hair which kept the water from coming out, i.e., the infection. I now only allow my vet to pluck her ears ... no more infections and certainly no more groomer!
