Get something in its ear??

Dont know whats up with Mickey He was lying here fine when all of a sudden he jumped up and has been running around shaking his head and getting all hyped up

Im wondering if something has crawled into his ear A spider maybe he was lying flat out

Hes just calmed down a bit and is trying to sleep but still keeps shaking his head and he wont let me have a proper look

I gave his ear a scratch earlier cuz he kept shoving his head in my hand but when i tried to have a good look he growled and pulled away

Anyone ever had anything like this happen

nope not yet Bren .
maybe you should ring your vet if he wont calm down

Hes calmed down now and is lying here sleeping

Maybe something bit him

Im hoping he will be ok when he wakes up

Blaze will occasionlly do it on walks, after a few head shakes he calms down, hope whatever was in his ear has gone now

How is he now Bren

Kala shakes her head a lot. We have had her checked over by neil and he cant see anything wrong. Marley only shakes his head if he has an ear infection

He seems fine today It was just all of a sudden as tho something had bit him or crawled in his ear

Will keep an eye on him just incase it is an ear infection

its possible something did crawl in hun

keep an eye on him see if he starts to scratch again, poor mickey lol

Hes been very quiet the last few days which is very unusual
but he hasnt been shaking his head like he was the other night

He was sick the other day aswell and has been a bit fussy with his food
Im wondering if he may have been bitten by something or hes picked up a bug so i had him on just chicken yesterday

Hes had some JW and tripe today which he ate fine but ive been out and got him
some more chicken for later

God hes so spoilt



I was gonna take him to the vets but there isnt anything obvious wrong with him now he just seems quieter than normal Thats until you mention the word CAT!!!!! then he reverts back to the Mickey im used to

it might be worth the vet taking a look down his ear hun, if mickeys still not 100%..

One of mine started to hold the ear almost sideways to the head so I put warm olive oil into the ear and about an hour later I gently syringed in with warm water and out popped a clipshear (earwig).
If you are gentle enough and he lets you, I would give it a go. If nothing else it gets rid of some muck that build up!

Mickey let me syringe his ear Ive got no chance he wont let you look in it Hes such a fidget He doesnt like me touching his ears normally and is a right pain when he goes to the vets when the vet tries to check him over

He hasnt had a poo today which again is unusual so i think he has had a dodgy tum Mind you he didnt eat too much yesterday

I think we will be going out again soon to see if he can go he doesnt smell too great tonight

He has however been fine all day and has been running around with no problems earlier

hows mickey hun?

Seems fine again but still a bit quiet

His tum is ok now and hes been to loo fine today so i think i will enjoy the peace

Hes due for his booster so i will probably take him to the vets next week and get them to check him over

Im gonna book to see the senior vet who is brilliant especially with big growling dogs He just sticks a muzzle on and shows the dog whos boss showing no fear
think Mickey was totally thrown last time he saw him expecting the vet to be wary of him That was when he hurt his leg and was growling at whoever touched it
The vet just took it in his stride and told him to stop it which calmed Mickey down

Im gonna ask him to check his skin over aswell as he has still got a few dry patches that he has started to lick again dont want him getting another hotspot

its one thing after another hun ...

could do with a no nonsense vet like that for fred.... mine reckons fred will need to be aneatheatised (sp) before they can check freds leg properly, as freds the same he growls and dances about and no one can get near him, it wasnt too bad the first time he got his leg checked, he didnt know what to expect lol
