Red Ear With A Severe Ear

[Len B]

This is the most severe ear Infection I have ever seen. This had to start last year but I didn't notice it until early this spring in the middle of March when they started getting active in the pond.I was able to put him back outside about 2 weeks ago and seems to be doing fine. Here he is this morning I will keep a close eye on him to make sure I got it all clean.

So the million dollar question - how did you treat this infection?

With this Usually with ear infections there is an area that can be seen showing where to start. But this was so swollen and no identifying spot I slowly over a couple of days worked on one spot until the skin got thin enough to actually penetrate easily, and after that started digging out all the abscess. It took several days to do this because of all the swelling. It drained for the longest time and took forever to heal over and close so I could put him back outside.The total time he was inside was a little over a month and a half.
