Fletchers ears seem MUCH better over the last few days. No more itching and scratching at all. I also bought new food and it's back to the regular formula, not the puppy formula.
He got into the bathroom trash and ate the cotton tips off a bunch of used Q-tips! (UUGGHHH GROSS!) and this morning he went poop outside and we had to help him get it out because there was a longish strand of cotton hanging out of his bottom.

He acting fine, eating, drinking, active, if not slightly embarrassed. LOL we'll be keeping an eye on him, just in case!
