Terrier Born Without Ears May Be Able to Hear

Weasel, a border terrier crossbreed, was born without ears and abandoned at five weeks of age. Though his ears are covered with skin, veterinarians believe he has fully functional ears underneath.

Veterinary director of the Dogs Trust, Chris Laurence, said: "He doesn't look to have any ears at all, there is no hole into the actual ear although inside there does appear to be a normal working ear. There seems to be an ear canal which goes down into the skull. We think the dog can hear a little bit, which would make sense if he has working ears underneath the skin."

They are going to investigate further and are investigating the possibility of making openings in the skin that covers his ears so that he can have full hearing.

Life's looking merrier for an earless terrier
