Also for Duckie in future; maybe flea tablets that also treat ear mites? Higgs came from a micro pig farm and had ear mites which I think the vet missed initially. It was only when I noticed James was bothered by his ears (this reasoning doesn't sound logical, I know, but not the place to explain!) that we took them back to the vet and he gave them a different flea tablet that also kills ear mites. The ear mites lead to irritation that can cause scarring in the ear canal, which may lead to deafness.
this will be on my next to do list. He does seem to have very itchy ears.
