This is Trevor.
My dad's best friend.
You might have seen him interrupt my vlogs from time to time.
Even though he passed the age of 12 he's still pretty active.
Sadly this year for two times in a row he got an ear infection.
Most likely caused by swimming which he still likes to do. (not sure why he never got it before...maybe age has something to do with it?)
We have these 'sour' drops we have to put in his ear that do a pretty good job but it still creeps up.
The problem is my dad is not here all the time and he can't put the drops in on his own when he's up in the North of the Netherlands.
So it's a bit on and off.
Touching his ear today he gave this yelp of pain and when I carefully checked the inside of his ear it was all red and nasty.
I went to the vet with me dad to have Trevor checked out.
We were helped by a nice female veterinarian and after confirming with my dad she put this powerful (expensive) antibiotic cream in his ear that should help him recover fast.
She also found a tick and a small lump on his side.
Trevor gets ticks often that I usually remove with a lot of trying but she did it within 2 seconds.
I was proper impressed.
The lump was 'ignored' because of age.
My dad biggest fear was that he would not be allowed to swim anymore.
But the vet said...No...let him enjoy the rest of his life.
It's only two times a year he gets an infection!
(I made the Cha-ching sound in my head!)
Lol, all joking aside though I do like that pragmatic approach.
No point in not enjoying life as long as it's possible.
We also left with a 10kg bag of special food for old dogs that was roughly 12x more expensive than what he normally gets.
I was ordered not to drop it!
My dad is as tight as they come when spending money except in these moments when he doesn't give a fuck.
Only the very best for his best friend!
And he's right.
