I’m sorry Cassie’s ear problem has returned 
Poorly ear

She's absolutely fine in herself, the only real sign that it is problematic is shying away from people/dogs who want to physically interact and has a couple of times yelped when folk have touched her neck when doing so, and sometimes shaking her head. On Tuesday when I cleaned it there was real resistance - "I really, really don't want you to do this" whereas previously she's been just fine with the procedure.
I think it's highly likely there is something in there now.
Poor Cass she's such a nice girl. I hope you can get things better for her soon

Sorry poor Cassie has an ear-trouble flare up. I hope they can sort out the problem next Weds. It must be reassuring to have a vet you know so well. x

Oh dear poor Cassie, it's so sad when you have to do things to them that they don't like. I hope it clears up again very soon.

Poor, poor Cassie! I hope the vet can sort her ear out soon. My yellow Lab, Barley ( Solstice's predogcessor) was prone to ear infections as she got older. The vet told me that Labradors and other breeds with ears that flop over are particularly prone mainly as they get older, and recommended monthly ear cleaning with drops and damp cotton wool. I wonder if, moving forward, this might help Cassie? Quite apart from helping to prevent infection, it's something all my subsequent dogs have loved, as evidenced by the happy grunty noises while I'm doing it.
Sending love and best wishes for a solution soon.xxx

It is really lovely, mostly because having known her so long I have been privy to the determination and commitment it took to even get into veterinary school. From a very young age she decided this was the path for her, but although she did well at school she was not "super clever" and her initial A level results were not good enough, but she returned to college and improved her grades. It's such a long haul to qualify but she did , but really doubted herself and lacked confidence initially. But she stuck to her guns and to see her now as a highly competent professional is a real joy.
