My Ringo's ear has this icky discharge and tomorrow we're heading to the vet It's this really stinky dried crud around his ear when he wakes up and this morning there was a bit of white pus inside. I've been cleaning off the dried crud and gently cleaning his ear but obviously he needs some sort of meds. Then this morning I wake up with my left ear - same ear as the one bugging him - with this crackling/popping sound in it like when you have soap in your ear. And it seems to be getting worse. So is this just coincidence or can you catch an ear infection from a ferret? I've never heard of such a thing but it just seems very odd considering the only other time I've had an ear infection was with a really bad upper respiratory infection years and years ago. Should I ask the vet to look in my ear, too? lol Laura [Posted in FML 5860]
