Ear Blockage?

[Argent]

Hey all, Rufus looks like he's got something in his ear....you know the way you tilt now and then when you get water in your ear that just won't leave? He's kinda doing that, like every now and then particularly when he's more active, he'll either put one side of his nose to the ground and rub a bit, or start picking at his ear and tilting as if that'll make it come out. What do you think it could be? Start of an ear infection maybe? I don't wanna jump the gun and take him to the vet who wont see the subtle behaviour change that I see, but I don't wanna leave it in case it really starts to hurt him

It sounds like it could be the start of an ear infection or perhaps even a growth. But for now, I would assume ear infection. The vet should take your description of his behaviour into account and treat accordingly.

Well the vets up here just don't listen (told me to put Marsh's meds in the water despite me telling him I could administer it by hand), and way overcharged me, so I'm gunna have to see if I can get him down to Liverpool at some point because the vets there are just sooooo much better.
