Itching Inside of Ear

Hi All,

I have noticed recently that bugs has been scratching the inside of his ear a lot (he is really getting his foot in there :shock:) and also grooming them more than usual, I have checked his ears and they are clean, dont smell and no sign of infection. Any ideas, hes booked in for a checkup on the 18th when I will ask the vet to take a closer look. Or do think I should take him in today?
 
Could be ear mites or it could be an irritating bit of wax that is too deep down the ear canal to see with the naked eye.I'd get it checked before the 18th if you can :)
 
Fair enough, Ill give the vet a call, they usually see you same day so I let you know what they say. If it is wax is there anything I can do to help provent him from getting it again or is it just one of those things?

Wax is a perfectly normal finding, but sometimes if there is a lot of it it can be irritating. It's best not to be putting anything into the ear canals until the Vet has had a good look with the otoscope :)
