Otis is prone to ear infections. We know this, because Oti's ears are very thick and the insides are misshapen.
I noticed that Oti was scratching at his ear. When I looked, Oti's ear was extremely dirty, even though Jeff cleaned them a few days earlier.
I reached into the refrig and pulled out the ear drops. I went over to Oti and placed 3 drops in his ear. Oti began to yelp and rubbed his head along the carpet.
I realized that the cold drops in his ear canal must have been painful. I left the drops out on the counter to warm. However, when it was time for today's medication Oti would not come over to me.
When Bailey was first diagnosed as diabetic I made the same mistake--I gave her the shot of insulin directly from the fridge. Poor little girl! She yelped! That only happened once.
