Well Mr Fluffy has let his depression take over in the form of not keeping an eye on his ear mites. I'd noticed he kept shaking his head and scratching at one of his ears all the time but still eating, flopping etc. Anyway tried to look myself but he's a struggler and hairy like there's no tomorrow I decided a trip to the vets was in order. Well he cost me more than Domino ever did at her worst..!
His ears are blocked up with wax and the one causing the most issues appears to have an infection in as well. Vet said this has probably gone hand in hand with losing his wifeybun and instead of it being a physical thing that stops him keeping on eye on his mites it's a mental one and they've taken over. So he got some spot on stuff to kill any on the outside and 2 weeks of baytril (ml twice a day).
Now I had to wrap him in a towel for his meds to stop him kicking off (he lunged at the vet (hahah) before jumping and climbing onto me for dear life), and I must have very well behaved buns as he, like Domino did, lapped and licked away at the syringe of baytril and took it like a good old bun he is. He got mint leaves after as a treat as the facial expression told me it must not taste very nice.
Poor old bun, as he's a rescue I'm not quite sure how old he is but I know I will have had him for 4 years this coming June, I've guestimated I got him about 6 months in as he was neutered then but I dunno. Never had any health issues with him at all, always eaten his hay and food. Poor little depressed guy.
