Thanks Des, I'm being positive today. It was a crappy morning but I have a good feeling these meds are going to work. Another week and a half is a good while to give them time to do their job and I truly believe they will. Thanks for checking on her.

I can understand what you are going through, Peanut had a double ear infection. The only way we could give him his medicine is to wrap him in a blanket. It takes more than two people to do that. It took one person to wrap him in the blankets, the second had to hold his head, and the third person had to put the medicine in.

I found out that my other Yorkie loves the taste of the medicine, and I had to yell at him a lot because he would try to lick the medicine out of Peanut's ears. So, watch your other dogs, make sure they don't lick the medicine out of Paisley's ears!

Sending prayers and good thoughts your way! Get well soon Paisley.

Sounds like you are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Poor little one. Wrapping her in a blanket to have someone hold her for you sounds like a good idea. Then some good lap time. You sound like such a great mama.

My vet is only giving two weeks for these medicines to work to prevent damage from occuring. If in two weeks this problem is still here, then a specialist must be seen. She is quite miserable right now, but I still have hope that these meds will work. The really bad ear is starting to look better, so thats a very good sign. She's sending you kisses back. Thank you so much for your kind words.

That must be such a relief for you that there will be no hearing loss for her....if one ear is showing improvement that's a really encouraging sign...fingers, toes are crossed & good thoughts too....

ohh poor Paisley! I'm sorry she has to go through that. I'll pray for her fast recovery. I'm sure she be ok soon!

When I get a new pup I always treat it for earmites. An older dog who just acquired ear mites will show signs of irritation because it is a new condition to them and it's aggrevating.

When pups get it soon after whelping seldom do they show signs of irritation because they never knew their ears to feel any different so when it goes on for some time it can cause serious damage to inner ear and hearing.
Sometimes the mites are far down in canal and you cannot see the telltale reddish stain in ears.

Yorkies or all pups with human like hair seem to fair the worst I think pests like it better or something!

Hi, thanks for the advice on the blanket. I'm going to try that tonight. I can't believe your one baby liked the medicine."Yuck" Her ears stink so bad from all the differen't meds, I hope my other babies don't like this. I will be watching them now. Thanks so much for the help.
