Happy tails!
I am glad to tell you the target specific meds for Aunti Mabel have
finally cleared her ears. There is no sign of any infection and she is now only on a preventive level of remicin with regular ear cleanings. They want us to keep up the recmicin at 3 drops every 3rd day for a bit then trail off to once a week in 2 weeks. Then, they will probably stop it totally after next lab test results. She goes back in a month for a lab test sent off to be *sure*. She never needed a second set of (pill) antibiotics and her dose was low. She's now chasing Cash around and he's lost weight to 54lbs. Looks a little thin to me but vet says he's fine. He's one solid burled muscle now. -- |

Cash's ears are also clear no of any evident sign of a yeast infection he tested out as having. He had the same tests from the lab as she did since there could have been a cross-infection (they sleep in sin together heheehe). Ohh, Daisy-chan is now stalking the dogs. She wants to play 'chase the doggies' which they enjoy. It's pretty funny to watch a 54lb and 28lb dog chased by an 11lb cat. Back later, I really should get a camcorder and u-tube this stuff. -- |

GREAT! Jo Yeah,m we feel really good that she is at last solved. The poor old lady has had enough ear pain in her life to exceed any nominal levels to the point where she barely reacted to it unless cleaning was in progress. As you know, she came to us deaf and with ear infection issues. We simply solved it at last. I wish we had found it earlier but those are the breaks. Even the no kill shelter would have PTS'd her due to lack of funds to deal with this by now for her own comfort. As it is, she's now chasing Cash who has Dasiy-chan on his back but a few minutes ago Daisy-chan was riding Aunti Mabel then before that I'm pretty sure Cash was being chased by Daisy-chan with Aunti Mabel in close persuit. Opps, flopped! Now Aunti Mabel is being chased by Cash who's being chased by Daisy-chan. Snicker, life is good here! -- |

There is only a 1-2% chance of passing a yeast infection in an ear to another dog. Your vet just screwed you out of more money. Nice guy! |

Clueless Char, it was the *other* infections Aunti Mabel had that can be passed which the vets were worried about so he was tested after her results came in. The tests were used to verify that he had nothing worse, which fortunately he did not. -- |

Snicker, life is good here! __________________________________________________ ______________ That made me smile. I wish Spyder (our cat) would find it in her evil heart to play with Kiba, but all she does is spend her time plotting his doom. I had no idea our sweet kitty was capable of such all-consuming hate, but she has hated him from the moment he came home, and after four years is showing no signs of thawing her attitude. Indeed, she gets more devious with her ambushes and "smack and runs" every week! Do try and get some of your beasties antics on video. I would love to see them. |
