Thread: Show us your ...........DOG

Snoopy has been very sick. I thought i was going to lose him a couple weeks ago. He started shaking and couldnt walk. His head and eyes were shaking from side to side like he was dizzy. He had tonsilitis but was on antibiotics for that. So i rushed him to the vet (on a sunday of course) they looked at him and found he had an ear infection. When the vet brought him back in she said they should run blood tests. $500. I said no! I said to the vet look at him now. He was back to normal again. Walking. No shaking. So relieved i was as was the vet. Ok no tests needed. Just squeeze this stuff in his ear for next 10 days and bring him back for a check. I did. Cost for emergency appt and prescription and drugs...$300.99. Well worth it. He is now back to normal as possible for a little dog approaching 16 yrs old.

Noticed him in his role as shop supervisor today sneaking a look at whats going on... cheeky little bugger.


I love my dog.

Iv'e got buckleys chance of taking the Landy anyplace without the dog.

Poor little tacker, what was the stuff you had to squirt in his ear ?
Zac has had something irritating him in his ear for about a week and I cant see any difference to the other one. Only seems to be a problem when he's not busy. Give it a good rub and he's ok for a few hours , maybe he's cottoned on how to get a good rub.

Dermotic ear drops. Twice daily. Before this ear infection happened he had a hard plug of wax and hair up against his ear drum causing him to shake his head a lot. The vet removed it 2 days before his infection started. I thought she had ruptured his ear drum but the other vet on the Sunday said it was ok. The stuff is for horses cats and dogs it says on the bottle. For ears and skin fungi, yeast, and other stuff i cant read coz the label is in the way.

Cheers Rod.

OK thanks Rod , I better get off to the vet to be sure, as Zac shakes his head lot too.

Could be a grass seed. A grass seed killed my sisters Mini Dashound years ago. Got into his brain.

Ahh,, head shaking.. Burleigh did that so bad he blew out a vein in both ears causing ( not only an expensive vet visit) both ears to droop from then on...
