I recently posted about my rocky's tear stains thinking it had gotten worse because of the antibiotics he was taking for his tail pocket infection.. but now his tail has been amputated and hes on no medicine but tear stains are still there.. but what i have noticed also is along with the tail infection that he had when i rescued him, he also had an ear infection, my vet treated it twice,
when we took him to the other vet to have his surgery on his tail i asked them if they would mind looking at his ear while he was there just because i noticed he was shaking his head a little bit.. they did and told me his ear was fine that it was just dirty.. humm. i thought that's strange because just a week before is when we had it treated and cleaned.. but that's OK as long as it is all it was.
well, then a week later i was doing his routine face wash and decided to clean his ears.. just one ear, yeah you guess it, the same ear that was infected was really dirty and nasty.. in just 1 weeks time.. i dont understand how just that one ear is getting so dirty,.. i asked the vet when i took him back to get his stitches out about it and she just said he just produces more ear wax in that ear.. so do any of you think there is a connection with the tear stains being worse since he has came into our house and does it have anything to do with his ear getting so dirty.. it looks the same, brown yucky stuff.. just wondering.. so now we clean ears more and he thinks im playing every time and steals my wash cloth or wipe.. he is a ham.. love him so much though..
