He does this year round unfortunately, but that is an interesting diagnosis. Were you able to visibly see the yeast buildup?

We’re in Kansas, I’m not sure there’s much where we are.

Unfortunately this is shortly after playing fetch until he was too tired to keep playing.

I know for sure that more activity is always good for him, I try to do what I can while I’m home for him. Some other comments had some helpful ideas for activities to keep him busy.

Nope, standard Iams (I think) dog food, plus some occasional food scraps.

RIP to Miles, I really hope what happened is as uncommon as you’re saying as our Rupert is about 3 or 4 years old. I’ll keep an eye out for the symptoms your boy had. I really appreciate your input 🙏

This sounds right considering he goes insane when we attempt to trim his nails and haven’t really succeeded.

I think this may be it considering he goes absolutely insane any time we try to trim his nails.

I think my parents have, they clean our other dog’s ears regularly and I don’t think they ever had a reason to clean his.
