  1. I was going to say “You will never regret your decision”, but then I realised that there will be one huge regret, but it doesn’t come around until about 14 to 16 years from now.

  2. Have you gotten a second opinion from a different vet? Cockers have bad ears but my swim all the time and I have to keep them dry and clean. Vet told me to use swimmer ear from drug store weekly and every time they get in water. I have had 8 cockers with one going deaf cause of an inter ear infection she was 15. Good luck
