Henry is about 1 year old and recently i have been noticing the hair on his beautiful ears has become terribly hard to maintain. Within the last week he gets these little sections that suddenly become very, very matted. I have been brushing his ears every day, but it doesnt seem to help at all. I am so worried to cut off the matted pieces, but there is really nothing else i can do for some of them. I have actually had to cut off some of the matted pieces, and am so upset that it will never grow back the same! Henry has ALWAYS been a bit, well, off- i suppose, so now in a way his crooked ears matches his aloof personality, but i dont want him to look this silly forever.
I bathe him every 2 weeks (at least, he is one messy little boy) and brush him regularly. No real big changes with me or him since i've been noticing his ear mess. I clean the inside of his ears when he bathes.
Henry is my first dog, so am i just over reacting? i want to make sure I am taking the best care of him i can. I wash him a special doggie shampoo that was recommended at the pet shop. Is there anything I can put on his ear hair to tame it a bit? any special conditioners?
Well thanks for reading. hope i dont sound like an awful first puppy mommy.
