Malc Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 Symptoms of various ailments some minor, but also some serious. Worth visiting the vet IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garyb Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 My Springer has been doing this alot lately.. My vet friend took a look, and couldn't see too much out of order.... He's going back tonight for a 2nd look though, as he's still shaking his head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al4x Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 (edited) I think if you use Stronghold for fleas etc it will also get ear mites but worth checking, certainly with spaniels that are a bit prone to them if so its probaby worth using instead of frontline Edited November 6, 2009 by al4x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
