Thank you so much to everyone who has given Jack and I their support and kindness. xx
Well, we've just returned from our Ear Specialist and the news is better than we'd hoped for. He does not recommend an ablation, but favours a reconstruction of both ear canals to take out the natural twist and make them straight. This will make much better access for air and for me to treat them daily. It's never been possible for me clean very far into Jack's ears and this will then be a much easier procedure that won't cause so much pain.
I can't tell you how relieved I am that we have a solution which doesn't require such major surgery. I'm afraid that on hearing the good news, tears formed and I didn't retain as much of the Vet's information as I should have done. I can't, for the life of me, remember the name of the operation and wonder if any of you can assist, please? My son offered to come with Jack and I, but I didn't want him to take time off work. I wish he had now, because he would have remembered more than I did. Silly, I know, but I've dreaded this appointment. That apart, I'm much happier now, although I have to reduce Jack's weight to 17 kgs, before the operation can be performed. That's 3 kgs!! Help! This will be one tough challenge and he won't like it one bit! We'll make it happen though. It'll be worth it to see my boy free from pain after 7 long, distressing years of suffering.
I'll keep you all posted. Thank you all so much. xxx
