We are back home. It was a bluggy foxtail  . Headley, the vet was met but a growl from Tali but after he spent time gaining his trust, he attempted to remove the seed without sedation. It was nearly coming out but was lodge too deeply in. The wound bled quite heavily and when Headley first lifted his ear, he asked if Tali had an ear infection as it was so squishy sounding. It was blood of course.

I was present for the whole proceedure, even helped a bit. I have the offending seed and will photograph and post tomorrow.

Tali was friends with Headley by the end, but is now completely spark out on mum's bed. He was very woozy and just kept staring at stuff.

Poor little man

Thank you for your kind wishes. He was very off the planet last night, very wobbly on his legs, etc. He's much brighter, but still quiet this morning. His ear is still very sore.

I'm going to bite the bullet and don't care if he looks silly, I'm getting a snood. Much cheaper than the vets and far less painful for Tali. Can anyone suggest good ones please?

Will post pic later as getting mum out now.

I got Odie's snood from Ebay, it was around £4ish, it's a shiny black material, thought this would be better for wet/snowy weather.  He does look a fool in it and I have to admit I've not used it yet but I will do for the snow

[Mel]

I don't care about what he looks like, I'll tell him he looks beautiful anyway ;-)

As a moot point, the vet said his ears were unusually for a cocker, clear, clean and sweet smelling. The power of Thornits.

However the downside is that the seed got in a long way quite quickly
