Hi everyone,
Any opinions on this one please?!...
Just got back from Max's usual Sunday afternoon romp through the local fields & swim in the streams. While we were out, he was rolling round a lot in the long grass & doing that thing where he throws himself to the ground head first, like when they're rolling in something they shouldn't!! He also stuck his head underwater a few times when he was swimming.
All of this is pretty normal for him so we didn't think anything of it, but then as the walk went on, he kept throwing himself down & rubbing his head/ears along the ground & also kept shaking his head a lot. Our first thought was a grass seed in his ear, so we had a really thorough look when we got in - shone a ruddy great torch down there & everything, but they both appear clear.
We've checked him all over, including his eyes & feet for rogue grass seeds etc. He's still shaking his head quite a bit though & scratching his ear with his foot - do you think he may have some water in his ear? That's the only other thing we can think of! If so, will it just work it's way out by itself or is there anything we can do for him? He doesn't appear to be in pain but something is obviously bugging him. I was massaging him a bit just now behind his ears, to see if I could disperse any water that might be in there but I don't know if i'm just making it worse?
Any ideas??!!
Thanks!!
Kath & Max
