While I had the girls out, I was giving them a treat and noticed dried blood on the inside of Penn's ear. There wasn't a whole lot, but a good bit and mostly inside her ear towards the canal.
I've cleaned her ear out with a moist q tip [took me 2 q tips to get it all off] and there's no scratches or nicks, and nothing that looks like it could have been either of those. The way it was, it looked like she had shaken her head and it sprayed out into the cup of her ear. Make any sense?
She's been sleeping a bit more than usual lately, has had some problems climbing and getting down from certain places, but she's also recently turned 18mo. She's acting totally fine, no wobbling, tilting, issues grasping with her front paws. She's still interested in food [went through 4 yogies with the ear cleaning] and will romp a bit now and again. She's been on a maintenance dose of Baytril since 9/15 [some sneezing and porphyrin and severe paranoia after her sister passed suddenly] and Doxy was added 9/24.
So.. Anyone have any ideas? I'm going to try and get her into the vet tomorrow and see what she says.
Some really bad pictures. She's never been much for handling, but lately she's been really put off by it. I passed it off as stress of being a bit bullied by her new cagemate Grey.
