Well, I had the dickens of a time getting the ear cleaned and drops applied last night. I wasn't even sure if I got enough of the meds in. You would have thought I was killing her. I'm sure it hurst cause I have had ear aches in the past and they are very painful. I still have to put Alcohol in each ear after I shower or swim.

When I went to put in the drops this morning I enlisted my DH to help hold her down. I checked the other ear first and noticed that it seemed a little pinker than usual so I need to call the vet on that. It took both of us, my DH and I, to get this done and yes she screamed the entire time. I do feel confident that I put enough medicine in her ear this morning.

Called the vet and mentioned the other ear and asked if I could put drops in that one also, vet kind of giggled and asked if I was ready for that much screaming. LOL She gave the go ahead to put drops in the other ear as well after using a q-tip to clean it first.

This is just so much fun! NOT! It's just that I want her to get better and not have problems like this all the time. DH and I are planning on working together to get her meds into her as required. This is just gonna be a little stressful for a while. I keep telling myself, it hurts me more than it hurts her and try to be as calm as possible. I think that's the only way it's gonna get better!!

Thanks everyone for your help, concern, guidance, and support. You all are very much appreciated!!
