Loki's ear is sadly getting worse. He had a course of antibiotics but they didn't help. He has also lost some more weight. The vet thinks there is most likely something else going on and the best thing is to just keep him comfortable. I know many people disagree with this, but she advised Metacam twice daily which is what I am doing as I don't want him to be on any pain.
I know he is very old and I feel so blessed to have had him for this long, but I just feel so deeply upset that our time together will shortly be coming to an end. I just love my little man SOOOO much.
I have attached some photos of his ear, they are not very good unfortunately but I just wanted to ask if anyone has seen this before and ask if there is anything else I could be doing to help him. His inner ear appears swollen with crusty discharge, or possibly they are scabs and his ear looks very flat to his head now. I am guessing this is the dreaded C word.
