A few days ago I was peering in Barksdale's ears when I noticed a black waxy substance in them. I cleaned them out, but my paranoia got the best of me so of course I took to google. Nothing good ever comes from the google. Worse case scenario, it could be ear mites. Best case scenario, it could just be ear wax build up. After some more days of googling, I just bit the bullet and made a vet appointment.
We went to her vet this morning where they tried to look into her ears. The vet said that she saw something but couldn't be sure. But Barksdale was shaking her head too much for the vet to do any extractions. So what was supposed to be a quick vet appointment turned into a $300 DOLLAR vet appointment.
YES, $300 DOLLARS!!??!?!?!? Pet ownership has come back to punch us in the wallet. She had to undergo sedation so the vet could check deep into her ears. She thought it was a foxtail or something but it just turns out to be HAIR AND EAR WAX BUILD UP. Yes, we paid that much to for some ear wax buildout. When we picked her up from the vet, she was so excited to see us, she tried to jump over the receptionist table. I thought, man, for $300, couldn't we have gotten a dog back that was a little more sedate?
