She and I had lots of fun making him do his ‘Elvis’ impression. Beau is a very trusting, laidback guy, and he just takes it for granted that everyone loves him – and I have to admit, they do!īefore surgery, Beau got to spend some time in the waiting area with one of his favorite people, Dot. Beau absolutely loves his trips to the animal hospital! He sees it as an opportunity to get loved on by as many people as possible, eat lots of treats, and socialize with as many dogs as possible. I brought Beau in for his surgery a few days later. Because I wanted a quick and definitive treatment, I decided to move forward with surgery. Duncan and Dot fed a very happy Beau lots of treats. We talked over all our options, including surgery, while Dr. Duncan confirmed my suspicion that Beau had an ear infection and then went on to explain to me that Beau also had an ear hematoma, which are often caused by ear infections and increased shaking of the head. I immediately called Animal Hospital of North Asheville for an appointment.ĭr. Beau has typical Golden ears in that they are floppy and very furry so it wasn’t until I touched and held his ear that I realized the extent of the problem. The swollen area was slightly warm to the touch.

There was a big pocket in his ear that seemed to be full of liquid. However, I was surprised when I inspected his ear. So when I noticed him scratching his ear more than usual and even rubbing his ear against the carpet, I wasn’t surprised. Even when he was a little puppy and we lived in New Orleans, we seemed to always be treating him for one ear malady or another. My Golden Retriever, Beau, who is 12 years old, has always had ear issues.
