The Perendale originated in New Zealand from crossing the Border Cheviot with the Romney breed. They are an open-faced, medium-framed breed that produces bright, lofty, long-stapled, medium-wool fleeces. Developed as an easy-care sheep, they are both hardy and highly adapted to marginal forage-producing areas.
It depends how badly the eardrum is ruptured. Mine ruptured a couple of years ago from a bad ear infection, and it took me at least 3 weeks to get the ringing out of my ear. Depends a bit of how good you protect the ear from pressure changes; usually between 2 - 4 weeks. If you really do have an ear problem, do NOT mess 'round.
In all cases of perforated ear drums we try to keep the ear free of water and foreign objects and keep it dry. In ideal settings the perforation closes within few weeks with an exception of chemical burns. If the perforation does not heal within a month and the patient has hearing loss we offer them surgery.
