Yes - his ears are clean. It's not that they hurt from infection. He's not bad about flipping the ear back and looking inside, it's if you grab or hold his ear flap itself that he cries and pulls away.

As a flop-eared-dog touchy about his ears, I sortof dread ear infections in him, my old lab got them a lot, and Homer will not be good about it if he needs treated.

I figured you would have already checked. GOD bless ya' for taking him in. My shepherd's ears produce a whole lot of nasty wax and need very regular cleaning; luckily, they've never given him problems, but they do require considerable attention...

Careful about his body ph. Silas will get an ear infection and stomach upset if he gets into the cat food one time too many. My vet says dogs can get sick if they eat too much cat food because it messes up the ph in their system. I wonder how many people don't realize that their dogs can get sick from sneaking the cat food.
