Hi everyone

Sarah (and Tippy) here:

Poor old Tippy really isn't feeling very happy at the moment. She got stung by a wasp inside one of her ears when she was turned out. She’s had a droopy left ear, which looked very pathetic. She's sooo naughty she just won't wear a fly mask for more than two seconds.

I know it was a wasp as I found a wasps’ nest in an old rabbit hole in the hedge next to her field. The wasps didn’t look too friendly so I ran pretty quickly back down the field!

I called the vet who said her ear could have been a lot worse and has given my some steroid cream to help it heal and to soothe it. She also said to try to make Tippy wear her fly mask so flies didn’t go in the injured ear and irritate it more - easier said than done! So Tippy has spent the last few days inside while the ear healed. She can now prick it again so I know she’s feeling better.
