Wax on,wax off

Robin has built up ear wax. It's causing him to scratch furiously! Should I deal with this before I get him fixed? (I've had to reschedule-AGAIN!)

He's outside (in his carrier) a lot more than Percy was. Could the weather have something to do with it? Also, should I try to stop him from scratching? He scratches HARD and FAST,I'm afraid he might hurt himself.

I think it's more likely the excessive ear wax is just a symptom. There may be some infections in the ear. You better get him checked by the vet, sooner than later. If you want to stop the scratches, put a Eliethabeth collar on him. He will hurt himself if he keeps scratching like that.
