Subject: Urgent: Consultation Needed for Milo’s Ear Mites 🐶👂🔍
Dear Dr. Kraemer, I’m writing concerning my 9-month-old French Bulldog, Milo. 🌟 Unfortunately, he’s been showing signs of an ear infection, my cat “Mint” had ear mites last year and I was wondering of bulldogs can also get them.
Thank you for your prompt attention! 🙏 #EarMites #BulldogHealth #VetConsultation
Best regards, Tami and Milo 🐾
