Happy to hear that the prognosis for Gypsy is looking better. Praying that it is a matter of her being younger than the original estimate, and that her paw will improve.

Sorry to hear that Bella is sick, and praying she will recuperate quickly. Is the medication Flagyl? I don't have any experience with it, but I think that is the one I have seen mentioned relative to upset tummies and intestines.

Regarding her yeasty ear, I know you are concerned about getting water in her ears in the bath. I try to avoid water in the ears, but they still need to be cleaned or my guys will get yellow waxy gunk that could lead to an infection. I comb the ear daily with a flea comb that removes wax and debris. We also use an ear cleaner with a drying agent after baths or as needed. Vet Solutions is a good brand.

I used to worry so much about water in the ears, but after considering how many Yorkies and other dogs swim, I stopped worrying. Haven't had any problems.

Best wishes to your babies.
