Can you (h)ear me? Today I had an appointment with Renate, a really brilliant veterinarian at Venhei, a Veterinary Hospital. Mr. Bowie needed an ear examination to identify the cause of the recurring inflammations.
Mr. Bowie in the waiting room.
Renate removed a lot of foreign materials such as dirt and other tiny things. The planned exploratory surgery wasn’t necessary.
A mixture of dirt.
The examination went well and we got home around noon. Mr. Bowie’s ear problem should be solved.
Oh no! She’s coming back…
Can we go home now?
Hands on Bowie & Jimi 
Thank goodness they got all that muck out of Mr Bowies ear! Hopefully that’ll be an end to the infections.
Let’s hope so, Sarah. Six ear infections in two years time…
It’s horrible for them! We had a cavalier king Charles dog who was prone to ear infections and it was always because there was something like a bit of grass seed that had worked its way into the ear canal! He always looked so miserable when his ear was bad. Stay well Mr Bowie!
Maar Bowieke toch, laat je maar goed verwennen door je baasje.
Herman, jij maar denken dat Bowie koppig was, nee hoor,
hij hoorde jou gewoon niet meer door alle vuil dat in zijn oortje zat…
Hopelijk is alles nu echt wel opgelost!!
Nu moet ik uitkijken wat ik zeg… 😉
PS: hij heeft al extra snoepjes gekregen…
gHebt die snoepjes toch niet in zijn oor gestoken hé 😉
Ik zal ze maandag wel eens in uw oor steken…!! 🙂
Oh I’m so glad you don’t need surgery Mr Bowie! Pawesome seeing what was stuck on your ear! Hope you’re feeling much better now! =^.^=
Thanks Bailey! I think Mr. Bowie could use some vacation days on the Nocturne…
Oh wow, all that stuff in 2 little ears! I’m so glad it went well and no surgery! Will he go back now and then to get that looked at again? Mr. Bowie must have been a very good boy at the doctor’s. (Like not trying to bite the vet………)
We have to go back after a 10 days treatment with a healing salve.
PS: All that stuff was stuck in one ear…
In one ear, that’s amazing. No wonder the poor little fella was having trouble with infections. So glad he’s on the road to being completely well!
Ocharme Bowie, hoe komt dat daar nu allemaal in!
Hopelijk is alles nu achter de rug en komen die ontstekingen nooit meer terug!
De dierenarts verwacht dat het probleem nu opgelost zou moeten zijn…
Can’t believe all that was in one ear! I’m glad he doesn’t need surgery. Cool decoration on the waiting room wall by the way.
Hope Mr Bowie got plenty of treats after his vet visit!
Just wondering, Letizia… Can I give myself some extra treats too?
Of course! …. but I bet you already did 🙂
Ha ha ha… You are absolutely right!
Het lijkt wel plastic dat in zijn oortje zat, gelukkig is het er nu uit en gedaan met de problemen!
Dat ene ding leek zelfs op een stukje van de buxus-plant…
And that was achieved without knocking Mr Bowie out? We need the name of your vet!
This procedure is normally performed under general anaesthesia. But hey, this is Mr. Bowie, a real tough guy…
Oh, poor Mr. Bowie! Getting his ears poked like that! Hope it wasn’t too bad.
I’m glad it wasn’t me… But I felt so sorry for my little friend…
Sending healing love to Mr. Bowie’s ears.
Thank you, Mary! Bowie says “Meow!”
En nu hij zo flink geweest is in de kliniek komt misschien de Sint ook voor hem…en het baasje!
Héél belangrijk! We zijn benieuwd en vol verwachting…
Good boy, Mr. Bowie. Glad to hear you won’t need surgery… Take care!
Thank you, Miwako! Bowie says “Meow!”
🙂 Have a nice day!
So please to hear!
Yes, we’re so happy too. Thanks for your reply.
Mr. Bowie surely is a tough guy. Scaredy-cat? Not Mr. B.! Glad this procedure went well and hopefully no more ear infections!
Thank you, Beth! Let’s hope it’s all over now…
So glad they got all that yucky stuff out of My Bowie’s ear…poor guy. Hope that solves the problem for good!
Thank you, Debra! Bowie says “Meow!”
Mr. B., we are sure happy that you aren’t going to need surgery. We just want to know how you got all that “stuff” in your ears! It appears as if you were a very good kitty at the VET. Hope you got some extra treats when you got home. Have a great weekend. Purrs and hugs, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
Thank you for this warm comment, my friends. Mr. Bowie got some extra treats this evening (and so did I).
We don’t really know how all that stuff got in his ear. Maybe it’s ear wax and dirt sticking together for years now…??
Dear Mr. Bowie you sure are one brave cat and I hope you’ll be infection free now. Big kiss from me to you 🙂
Thank you very much for this sweet comment. Bowie says “Meow!”
🙂
Oh dear Mr. Bowie!! I had to treat a cat for ear mites once and she made a great fuss so that I had to put on swim goggles for safety whenever I applied medicine. You are very brave letting people clean out your ear that way!
I know what you’re saying. I sometimes got the feeling Mr. Bowie gives me his medicine back for free… 😉
Excellent news!
Thank you, Nanette! Bowie says “Meow!”
I am so glad to hear this, you a good boy dear Mr.Bowie, a big kisses for you, Thanks and Love, nia
Thank you, Nia! Bowie says “Meow!”
Amazing what can get stuffed down into a cats’ ear! I know both of you are happy no surgery was needed….and with all that OUT of there now, hopefully the END of the ear infections. Whew! Thank heavens…..I say treat for Mr. Bowie and a lot of chocolate for YOU!
Pam
Thank you, Pam & Sam! We are sure going to follow up your advice about the treats and chocolate…
Vet visits are not fun, but necessary! I hope this is the end of the ear problems for Mr Bowie.
Thank you, Timothy! Mr. Bowie had 6 infections in 2 years time, let’s hope it’s all over now…
Happy! Hopefully it was just that one item became lodged in there and all the other things became trapped around it and Bowie couldn’t dislodge it. Now that it’s gone it he may stay clear.
Thank you, Bernadette! Let’s hope so, Bowie says “Meow!”
Mr. Bowie appears to behave like quite the gentleman. The vet is not the best of visiting places. V.
Thank you, Virginia! Let’s hope we don’t have to go back to that place…
A case of dirt and other stuff. Certainly, Mr. Bowie may be able to hear the birds and other critters much better.
Our paws crossed this is the last visit for a long time. 🙂
Thank you, David. Keeping my paws crossed too…
Brave Bowie. No wonder his ear was so sore. Hope all is going well now.
Let’s hope so. Thank you very much for your comment. Bowie says “Meow!”
Three big cheers from the aussie contingent. Oi! Oi! Oi!
I hope Mr Bowie feels much better. 🙂
Thank you, Sharon. Bowie says “Meow!” Let’s hope his ear problem is solved now…
Poor boy – I hope he won’t have any more sore ears. I bet he was glad to get back home!
Thank you for your comment, Jill. Oh yes, he was very happy to be back home and get some extra treats…
Poor Bowie! I know how scary it is to go to the vet…. Hope your ear problem is gone fur good!
Shrimp
Hi there Shrimp! Bowie says “Meow!” Let’s hope so…
Purrs and tunas to you, dude!
Oh Thank goodness no exploratory.
Oh yes, I was very happy that a surgery wasn’t necessary! Thank you for hanging around HoB. Much appreciated!
Mr Bowie! How did you get all that stuff in one ear? You are a mysterious creature.
I guess he was collecting dirt for years… Let’s hope it’s all over now!
Let’s hope so.
Mr Browie, j’espère que maintenant tu vas mieux , que le vétérinaire a pu guérir ton infection et que tu es en forme.
Bienvenue à HoB! Merci pour votre réponse. J’espère que M. Bowie reste maintenant en bonne santé…
Hope this resolves the issue.
Let’s hope so, J.L. Thanks for your comment.
Thanks for following my blog and liking my posts. Hope you are enjoying it. Love following Mr. Bowie’s adventures.
Good Gosh, eck. Mr Bowie, looks like you were trying your paw at becoming a gardener. I do hope that’s a done deal and your tiny perfect little ears will be right as rain. I must say, that’s a very posh office, you’re all so trendy in Belgium.
BTW, I just looked at some Estee Lauder on my counter and it’s made in Belgium too. I picture cute little kitties in lab coats with monogrammed EL on them 😀
Hi Boomdee, thank you for this comment.
PS: the Estée Lauder plant is only a 10 min drive from my home. My sister used to work there. (I love the Clinique Happy for Men products.)
Sooooo lucky! 10 minutes away. I hope you get a bit of a discount then.
Ik zou de Belgen bedanken voor het kijken zo jong dan, HA
Boomdee, your Dutch is getting better and better… 😉
Hehe, you’re on to me….I’m also fluent in spanish as long as Mr Google is near by 😀
You are so brave!
Thank you, Morris. Bowie says “Meow! But I bet you’re brave too…
Poor kitty. We had one cat who climbed inside my sweatshirt when the vet came in the room.
Oh no… Fortunately, Mr. Bowie’s acting like a cool cat! And I think he’s cooler than me… 😉
The parents always suffer the most.
Oh yes they do…
Yick. Glad everything went well at the vet’s! Ellie
We have to go back after a 10 days treatment with a new medicine. But everything should be okay by then. Thanks for your comment, Ellie.
I see Mr. Bowie loves going to the Vet as much as my cats do??
Would rather go …NOT AT ALL!
Thanks for your comment, Mary. I’m lucky Mr. Bowie loves to go for car rides. But going to the vet… that’s another story!
How do you know there’s inflammations in his ear? Scratching or..generally weak or..?
Hi Lela. Concerning Mr. Bowie: head shaking, scratching and a lot of ear wax.
Were all of these little black things in Mr. Bowie’s ear?!
I sure hope he will have no more infections now!
Hi Carine. These things all came out of the inner ear. Hard to believe. They had never seen something like that before…
Thank you for your comment.
Pour Mr Bowie, we all hate hospitals! At least now your ear will feel much better! 🙂
Thanks for your comment, Ionna. Let’s hope Mr. Bowie’s ear will stay clean and healthy now…
Yuck! Glad they got all that out of your ear Bowie. Hope you’re feeling better and that the yuck stays away. Meow!
Thanks for your comment, Jessica. We’ll have to back next Monday to be sure everything’s ok. Let’s hope so…
Stay clean Mr. B, my you’re looking fit and trim today. 🙂
Thank you for your comment on this post. I’ll check Mr. Bowie’s ear more often from now on…
Wow, real chunks they found in Mr. Bowie’s ear.
It’s was really unbelievable! I’m going back tomorrow (Monday) to see if everything’s ok with that little ear.
Thanks for your comment, Heila.
🙂
I guess I should do my get-up-to-date reading in order instead of backwards. Sorry Mr. Bowie
Wow you’re a brave boy Mr Bowie make sure you demand loads of treats.
