hello my name is mike. My Squirrel friend George has a Massive ear infection and its filling up his ear hole.
i noticed it yesterday when he was breathing funny. so i looked him over carefully. um, he has black scabs filling up his ear. they are loose and bleed a bit. i cleaned it out just now with anti biotic ointment. it seemed to give him comfort. he slept soundly soon after. here are some pics. i think this could be really bad because of his breathing not being normal during his grooming! he seemed stuffed up. but hes breathing soundly now as he sleeps! if anybody can help please call 503 901 8593. fyi hes a fox squirrel so a vet wont help me. um heres the pic. i know not to use the anti biotic ointment any more because of it messing with his gut flora if he eats it. no worries. im not gunna do it any more. i was just worried and wanted to comfort him!
