Luka is usually a restless sleeper. It's normal for him to walk around the house at night. But this was different. After a night of no sleep and a trip to my parent's vet, Luka was left behind for exploration into territory we have a hard enough time keeping groomed -- Luka's ear. Several hours and a good dose of sedation later, we learned that Luka had a severe yeast infection in his left ear. The prescription to treat this is just as severe as his ear ache: We have to apply ear drops twice a day, flush out the ear with a cleaning solution at night, and give him a pill (covered in peanut butter) to top it off. Obviously, the pill is his favorite part. After we chase him around the room a few times, we're lucky to get half the ear drops and cleaning solution into his ear. And we're left with a wet floor and a very wet and crusty ear.

oh no! Poor Luka! This sounds awful. The treatment and the infection. How the heck did that happen?? And how long to heal? poor little guy. And poor you.
We have no clue what caused it, just that we want it to go away. He goes in for a check up next week, so hopefully he'll be cured.
