I've wracked my brain playing What If.... & How could.... I just don't know. He has 12 acres to play on & the invisible fence wires are stationed a good 5' before the actual fenceline so he couldn't have hurt himself on that.

I guess it must have been an oddity. I've been treating his other war for a mild yeast infection so I've been vigilant about his ears. The drying rinse solution tends to matt the hair so I've been combing them both out regularly as he's also going through coat change.
If it hadn't been groomer day he was due for his brushing. I wld have been combing out his ears & it wld have come off in my hand!!!!! BARF!
