Thank you for submitting your question regarding Ted. I agree that he does appear to have an ear infection. He will need to see his veterinarian. An exam, including assessing the ear canals, will be performed. Then a sample will be collected from each ear to evaluate under the microscope. This will tell the doctor the type of infection so it can be determined how best to treat it. Ear infections are painful. It is best to have it addressed soon. I hope this information helps!
