I put it under maladies and diseases- he has a growth behind the ear drum, which was causing infection and ruptured the ear drum. I decided at this time not to have it tested for cancer. He is also having a pea sized hard growth off of his side. I can call after 1pm. They did another yesterday and the vet tech said it was horrible, full of infection. Thanks for telling me that! I think we have the infection cleared up so maybe ours will go better, also Kody's ears are much bigger than a Basset so maybe they can do the procedure easier. I am glad they attempted the other dog first, since I don't think they had done this before and had to borrow the equipment.
