A friend of mine has a young Blue Staff, over the last few days it has been rubbing it's ear with it paw, she thought it must have an itch and thought nothing of it.
This morning it was whining and seemed a little stressed and was still rubbing it's ear.
Upon examination there was a small amount of dry blood in it's ear and a little inflammation.
Having taken the dog to the vets it was discovered that it had a Dust Mite that had got in the ear and burrowed into the flesh and would have eventually burrowed through the soft tissue to the other ear.
£80 for a washout fluid, ear drops and steroids hopefully will sort it out but had it been left it could have cost near a thousand pounds or could have had to be put down.
Just shows you can never be to clean however much you clean if you have animals as pets there could always be a mite about.
