Piddle is crying with an ear-ache :(

I can't find his eardrops and my parents aren't home at the moment, and my mom usually knows where they are. I have searched everywhere! They could be gone.

Is there anything I can do until they get home? I have tried whiping it out with a tissue, should I try a Q-Tip?

Also I know that when my mom has an ear-ache she uses olive oil(I believe?), would that be safe for him?

Thanks :(

I dunno. . maybe try calling the vet? Don't use a Q-tip, just use a cotton swab and maybe rub some baby oil or alcohol on it for now. I hope Piddle feels better :(

Definitely do not use a Q-tip!!! I made the mistake of using one in Malone's ear, and actually caused some damage. :(

When do you expect your parents to be home?? If it's today, I would just wait until they get home and ask them for advice. Also, try calling the vet and just ask them for advice over the phone.

{Hugs to Piddles} and hope everything turns out OK for you!!
