This tup was brought to us with a severely infected ear. The tissue was extremely painful and swollen, causing significant narrowing of the ear canal. As a result, he had lost condition, was feeling quite sorry for himself, and was clearly not thriving.
Following a thorough examination, vets Tamsin and Kirsty determined that the best course of action was an auriculectomy โ the surgical removal of the external part of the ear. This allowed them to remove as much infected tissue as possible and give him the best chance of a full recovery.
We are delighted to report that he was an absolute superstar throughout the procedure. With appropriate pain relief, treatment, and attentive aftercare, the surgical site healed well, and he is now much more comfortable and steadily regaining condition.
He may be a little less handsome than before, but we suspect the ewes will be far more interested in his performance than his appearance!
Our farm vet team is always ready to take on a challenge, and it's incredibly rewarding to see patients like this return to full health and comfort.
