Notes from Cedar Valley Pit Bull Rescue

Freddy does have a head tilt. In August of 25 he had an ear polyp removed. The was also having continuous ear infections. After several rounds of antibiotics another polyp was removed and on January 5, 2026 he had lateral ear surgery done to widen his eustation tube and I am so happy to report the surgery was a success and there have been no more infections or polyps. The head tilt is getting better, but not sure if it will ever fully go away. This has not stopped him at all. He runs and plays. He does have issues sometimes jumping on the couch or up on my bed, but he always figures things out. Freddy is such a sweet cat and deserves nothing but the best.
