Hector keeps scratching his ears and shaking his head

It's only been for today, but I think I'm going to take him to the vets tomorrow if I can get an appointment, just to get it checked out, otherwise I won't be able to take him until Thursday.

What do you guys think?

Will he let you look in his ears?

Hmmm - are they red at all?

might be worth getting him checked out for ear mites hunni.

Yes he will thumper, they're not red but one has a patch that looks similar to eczema

Hmm... I wondered if he maybe had a bit of hay (or similar!) in one of them.

Like Katie, I would get him to the vet just in case.

That's what I was thinking! I will try and book him in tomorrow, if not I might skive uni on Monday, we shall see!!

Did hector have the new Hay??

Did he like it??

He did, and he seems to really like it, has your order come yet? What do your lot think?

They are dubious....... Daisy wouldnt even entertain going into his hay basket at all when a small handful was in there (with his other hay) ...

Annie and Charlie are thinking about it.......

Ooo not good signs!! Hector isn't too fussy about hay, he just likes it to be stalky. The hay for pets has fatter stalky pieces in, but it also had a lot of non stalky bits, this hay has thinner stalky pieces, but there's way more of them.

Sending get well vibes for Hector's ears!

how is he today zo ?
sending vibes just in case

Vibes for Hector bun, I hope whatever it was irritating him has stopped now

He's fine today, so I'm going to see how he goes over the weekend

maybe the gorgeous boy was just trying it on for some extra attention

The patch that look's similar to eczema concern's me, just keep checking it everyday as it could be ear mite's and if
it is it will get worse.

Usually with ear mites it will have what look's like brown eczema inside the ear.

Ok Maysie, I will take him in tomorrow and get it checked out, just in case

If he is still scratching and shaking his head I would Zo, scratching and shaking the head can be a sign of mites as well.

vibes for Hector get your ears better soon!

Sending vibes for little Hector!

How is he Zo?

Lots of love on its way, I wil be thinking of you both tomorrow hun.

Hugs

Let us know how you got on!

The vet said one of his ears looks quite dry and flaky, so I have some ear drops (canaural) it's pretty much treating him just in case. He said he'd rather treat it now and have it be unnecessary than not and have it get really bad. The lump on his penis was gone but he said it looked all fine down there!

Glad to hear the mystery white thing wasn't anything to worry about

Fingers crossed the drops sort his ears out!

awww i'm glad his ears being treated and the spot has gone nose rubs for hector
