Hi Sqad, thanks for that. We managed to find a vet in Denia and she couldn't believe the size of the swelling. He has a slight raised temp. but when she had a good look in the ear, she said there was a lot of infection and pus in there. She gave him antibiotic and anti-inflammatory injections, and we have to go back at 10am tomorrow to see her colleague, and to see how he has responded (i.e if the swelling has reduced). If it has, she will give him a week of anti-inflammatories, and a "long" course of antibiotics. She's also given us some Confite forte to put in his ears twice a day. Fingers crossed... !
