Ear Infection: Because, Why Not?

Last week, Norman received another Cytopoint shot. We also brought home some Apoquel to use occasionally as a supplement to the shot. It seems to be working pretty well actually. Maybe he will get a little time to heal. Maybe he will feel a bit better for a few weeks at least. Oh, what’s that? Norman has an ear infection.

The other day we got back from a quick trip to San Antonio to find Norman’s ear looking like a puffy taco. We took him to the vet and he has a hematoma, likely the result of him flapping his ears due to the infection.

The vet cleaned out his ears and gave him a gel treatment. He will get another on next week and it is supposed to last up to 45 days. It will hopefully clear the infection and maybe his ears will go back to normal.

In addition to all this, he also has skin bacteria and is on an antibiotic. So, if anyone feels like donating to Norman’s vet bills, let me know! Anyway, we will see how it goes over the next week. Here are a few pictures of his puffy ear flap.
