leaveoutalltherestThey're kind of icky looking.
Can't clean him up because the stitches can't get wet. :(
It wasn't as bad as the vet first thought. The infection swelled his ears completely shut, so the medication my grandmother had for him wasn't getting inside. But once they got into the inner ear, it was clean. So, they sutured his outer ears up so that they could get air and dry out instead of keeping the infection inside. The wheezing and congestion was because his one ear drum is ruptured from constant scratching because of the ear mites and fleas, so the infection and pus was running down into his sinuses and throat.
So, he has meds and stuff. He goes back in a week to get the sutures out and see how he's doing.
