Poor Duke has had problems with an itchy and now infected ear since before my vacation the middle of January. On the first vet trip, they could find nothing. Ear got worse and we make another vet visit. This time they found a little bit of gunk and gave me some ear drops to be used twice a day. That worked great but the minute I stopped using it, he started itching and shaking his head. So, I called the vet and went and picked up a different ear drop to try. It didn't work and possibly made it worse. So, today was the third visit and hopefully the last. It's been around $250 now. Duke is worth it and more but it really makes your wallet hurt. So, today he got his ear cleaned out and some more of the first ear drops. I'm just going to keep him on them. I'll be so glad when he feels better. That ear has been hanging down for over a month now. He's been shaking his head almost constantly. I've also got some good ear wash that I'm to use every day for a week. Duke gets so nervous when he's at the vet. I've enclosed a video of him shaking. Here's a few pics taken after the vet visit.
See the ear on the left? That's the one that hurts so bad. He had to be muzzled today. Last time when they took a sample without one, he kind of snapped at the vet, which is certainly understandable.
I was asking Duke about Simba in this one.
3 more pics....
I miss you
