hi, just wondering if anyone could help with this. it's been going on for a while, but my boy mochi has recently (the last 5 months or so) begun to clench his fist when i touch either ear. i'm assuming this either hurts him or tickles, but it's still a strange behavior. he doesn't have any head tilt, circling, or other normal ear infection behavior. there's no visible polyps or bleeding inside the ear. nothing at all. the ears themselves are pretty normal. if i touch his left ear, he clenches his left fist and starts licking me. if i touch his right ear, same thing, but with his right paw. generally it's only if i hold his ear between my thumb and forefinger to push it back so i can check inside sometimes.
i thought maybe it was a weird behavior associated with a PT, but this has been going on unaccompanied by any other major symptoms for many months now, besides some over-grooming and itching he normally does, he is very obsessed with cleaning himself. just curious as to what might be causing it?
