More Spangle woes :(

Archie got a barley seed in his ear last month after chasing a rabbit into the crops (i know, bad owner). The vet sedated him and *thinks* she got it all out but he did have a perforated ear drum. He had a two week course of Rimadyl and Antibiotics and it all seemed fine, all swelling gone :)

After about 5days the swelling has come back - it's like a satsuma on the side of his face :( The vet has prescribed more anti-inflammatories and antibiotics (the same ones). Will a longer course of this solve it once and for all? I'm worried that there may be something left in his ear but how would they get it out? Apparently the ear drum is healing well and his hearing isnt infected but he's not a happy boy :(

Been baking again so Lemon cupcakes for all :)
