Linda those were the worst ears I have ever seen! That poor poor sweetheart. I can't imagine not seeing those ears and doing nothing as an owner, I JUST CAN:T IMAGINE IT


With a dropped ear breed, we get lots of yeast infections and wax build up etc, but OML those ears!


I do hope under your wonderfull care those ears will heal up.

Poor baby!:( So glad she's in better hands & healing can begin...what's wrong w/her ears?:(

I had to look it up, Ear canal ablation and bulla osteotomy


•Dogs that have had long-standing ear infections may develop irreversible damage to the ear canal. Due to chronic inflammation, the ear canal becomes very thickened and can turn into bone. As a result, the infection will not resolve with medication. The middle ear cavity (tympanic bulla) frequently is infected as the ear drum is commonly ruptured with chronic ear infections.
•Cancer of the ear canal is another disease requiring this type of surgery. In dogs, surgery is usually curative for malignant cancer (adenocarcinoma) of the ear canal, if the tumor has not invaded through the cartilage or into the middle ear cavity. If your pet has an ear tumor, chest radiographs (x-rays) will be taken to help rule out the possibility of spread of the cancer to the lungs.
•Congenital imperforate ear canal resulting in middle ear infection.


In other words, people who put off going to the vet with those pesky ear infections and home treat can cause this.

This site describes the procedure and says,


"In most cases, the results are nearly miraculous. Patients demonstrate more energy now that their headaches are gone. There is no more odor, ear cleaning, or pain." Total Ear Canal Ablation and Ventral Bulla Osteotomy: The TECA Procedure - VeterinaryPartner.com - a VIN company!

Just the thought of of this poor baby girl's pain makes my heart hurt! I don't know how she could ever trust human race again! :mad: Karma, Dear Lord let there be Karma!
Thank you Linda and all of those involved for helping this sweet girl.

Oh the pain, this poor pup has been going through. That is awful. Paint me disgusted.

OMG stupidity continues. This poor sweet little baby. Linda I am so glad YHR has her now and can get her the help she needs.

This just makes me sad :( If you cannot afford or irresponsible enough not to take the dog to a vet, do not own an animal!

Oh this poor little baby. How can anybody do this to a precious baby? Thank God she is going to get the care she needs. Susan

I have never seen anything this bad either. Makes me sick to my stomach. I don't understand how anyone could let a pup get like this.

Thank you! It really is disgusting that this happened to this precious baby.

Yep, it really is a perfect example. :(

OK...not responding individually to all of you; but I have read your comments and so appreciate your good thoughts for the precious baby.

She is being spayed right now as I type this...then she is coming to my home at least for now. So, I will be able to monitor her tonight and at least until her ear surgery.

Thank you Linda for looking after this precious girl. Thank you to everyone donating to YHR for her medical expenses.

Josie remains in my prayers.

We have had an awesome response !

Thanks...she definitely needs prayers. Poor baby.

Poor baby , I'm glad she got to the right place and she is getting the help she needs.
