| Feeling Much Better thank you TOPKNOT ! and YORKIELUVINMOMMA ! I was really afraid I would not be able to help her.her leather ear fungus had gone so long without treatment its all over her.I am just happy I can do something for her. I do have two more questions- #1 can I use the alcohol and lotromin around her eyes as they are affected too and #2 can I get it in my hair seems my scalp is itching more lately?

No alcohol around the eyes, be careful with the lotromin. Don't know about you scalp itching. Maybe you need to ask your doctor.

| I just went through this w/ my baby !!!!! Hang in there it takes along time. I do believe I medicated her ears for at least 3 months. At first I thought it was so cute how she was getting a black rim on her ears, never thought it was anything. Then her ears started breaking off and the ear hair on the rims was coming off in bunches !!!!! I was really scared something was seriously wrong....but I found out through a website that this is leather ear, black ear. Note there is only one site that I could find on this. So I started calling vets to find out about it, I must of called at least 15 vets and not one knew anything about it......duh !!!!!!! These are our professionals treating our dogs !!!!! Well anyhow the website said that it is from the cold and it only affect silky yorkies. It said to use lotrimin and tea tree oil and alcohol. So I started cleaning her ears every am w/ alcohol then putting tea tree oil on the rims, and at night I smothered her ears in lotrimin. It started clearing slowly, but it takes along time and alot of persistence. I also read to leave the hair on the ears to keep them warmer. My baby had her ears shaved and now I am leaving her hair grow. I BELIEVE SHE GOT THIS AT THE GROOMERS......I do believe it is contagious and now I do all the grooming myself. got myself clippers and a video. It is very easy. Who knows what kind of germs, bacteria, viruses there are in there when they go to a place where thousands of dogs go. Well good luck, if you need anymore advice...let me know....persistence is the key.......... God Bless |

My Tiny Treasures Donating Member | I just wanted to say.... I think your awesome for giving her a wonderful home and taking care of her and bringing her back to a healthy life!!! Its too bad she had to wait this long before finding a loving caring person to take care of her and that breeder should not have dogs if thats the way she treats them!!! I think she looks wonderful......keep doing what your doing!!!! Great job !!! |
