| ![]() Remy's big brother, a 8 year old Lhasa apso has had a bad week. We were visiting dh's sister and while walking Sammy went up to a fence to say "hi" to the dog behind the fence. Well the dog managed to get enough of his face through the fence and bite sammy's ear. Poor sammy started screaming.. yelping.. I ran up and picked up sammy. It was such a bad accident, I was walking three dogs and Sammy pulled the leash out of my hand. It was blood, but I really did not see the bite till the next day. I though he scarped Sammy's face.. he is so harry I could did not see the bite. The next day I noticed the hair around his ear was stiff. Also, I noticed one of Sammy's eyes looked "off".... like he may have an infection. So to the vet we go... 1.) Sammy has a ulcer on his eye. Small.. but there. 2.) Sammy had three puncher wounds on his ear flap. 3.) Sammy had an ear infection. We have a week of several meds and his eye will must be checked again in 5 days. I feel so bad about the dog bite... I feel it is my fault because I dropped the leash. I am glad it wasn't Remy... the dog would have killed her! I am glad I noticed the eye.. hopefully caught it early. Now.. the dam ear infections.. I clean his ears, I pull the hair out. I don't understand why he keeps getting ear infections!! ok... I vented.. feel a little better ![]()

| ![]() OMgosh...that horrible mean dog. Poor Sammy hope he gets to feeling much better. The meds should do it. What an awful experience for you both. I know it must have scared you silly. So glad you caught it and I'm sure your quick response in getting him to the vet will make the world of difference in a speedy recovery. Yes, thank the good Lord it wasn't Remy...the bites could have been fatal. I know it's hard, but try not to beat yourself up...it was an accident and you are a wonderful mommy! Your babies can always count on you!

| ![]() Oh, and I'm not help with the ear infection, but I have heard some breeds are more prone than others, especially the ones with floppy ears.

| ![]() I'm just seeing this now. Poor Sammy! Sending prayers for a speedy and full recovery. If you have a cone/collar, it might be a good idea for Sammy to wear it at least for a couple of days to prevent him from pawing at his injured eye, especially in his sleep. As long as you are faithful with the medicine, his eye should be fine.

| ![]() I'm so sorry that happened. It isn't your fault. It was just an accident. I hope Sammy will be fine very soon. He was just being friendly. I don't understand why people have mean dogs like that.

| ![]() Thanks guys.. Poor Sammy is so saggy today. I can tell the ear is bothering him.. Thanks Maximo.. I hope his eye heals fast. I remember reading somewhere that dogs like lhasas and shih tuz often have eye problems. The vet said he may have "dry eye" and I am guessing that will mean eye drops. Looking back I can remember eye gunk off and on in that eye. I think it intensified after the last time he was groomed. I am now wondering if something happen when he was groomed ? I just don't want him to lose that eye!!! I will keep you guys posted when I take him back for his check up Shinja

| ![]() He won't lose his eye with your good care. I'm sure it's heartbreaking to see him in such a state.

Try talking to your groomer and asking what products are used on Sammy's head. I have a thread in the grooming section from last week asking everyone for advice on products and techniques for safely washing the head. Several people recommended Spa facial scrub as gentle on the eyes. I used it on both Teddy and Max and it was great. Cleaned without irritating. Keep us updated on your baby. ![]()

I will do some research on the dry eye. He does not have the bluding eyes like my shih tuz so I am hoping that will help.
