Time to clean out the ear! I get Adiva, and she won’t come thru the gate. Of course, the last time she came thru it, we cut her ear open. So, I don’t mind. She doesn’t take long to decide it’s ok, and I give her to K to hold while I mess with it. She’s good - I get a really good look at her ear, and I may not have to do much . All the blood is clotted well, and I don’t want to open it again. I do squirt some cleaner in there and she doesn’t care. I grab some gauze to dry it, and it’s a bit icky, but not infected or gross. Just some serum. Not bad. I grab the Alu-shield and get ready to spray it. She’s not a fan of that, but isn’t as bad as she definitely could be. I get a really good coat on it, then get her some cookies. She lets us give her lots of loving, and I’m very proud of her. If it’s still coated well tomorrow, I may just leave it alone. I can’t really justify messing with it when it’s got a nice scab going. I think y'all can get a good idea where this is on her ear. I circled it twice - the inner circle is how much scar tissue she has. But, it seems to be healing well, and it doesn't smell!!! Big plus in my book. And it doesn't really bother her tho she wasn't a fan of me getting the hair out of the crusty blood. I don't want to clean her face off yet - once it's not as tender I can get in there and get her all nice and pretty again. Time will tell...
