Poor Novey - her ear is terrible

[*LabLoverKEB*]

Oh my, I'm glad to read and see that her ear is doing much better! Now that's a big difference!

Dragon dawg - Her ears are an on going problem. We have tried Otomax, Animax, and all the other -maxs out there. We have tried oral medicines, everything. We've tried everything that our regular vet would prescribe. This is why I'm trying other alternatives.

I tried an olive oil/lavender oil mixture over the weekend and there was no improvement. The probiotics are providing her relief for now until she can be seen by the homeopath tomorrow. Homeopathic treatment works from the inside out healing a dog and making their immune system stronger - this is what Nova needs, not antibiotics. Allopathic medicine focuses on prevention and supressing symptoms, which has ruined Nova's health. She was healthy until I introduced some unneccessary things into her system as required/reccomended by my allopathic veterinarian.

I am a firm believer in homeopathy. My dogs have not done well with allopathic veterinary treatment, that is why I am switching.

I will not let my dog suffer, I am trying everything to keep her comfortable until she can be seen by anybody who can help her, though of course I have a preference as to who sees her. She has been doing better today though did scratch her ear until it bled again tonight. Unfortunately I don't have an elizabethan collar on hand to keep her from doing this. I've cleaned her ear several times today and put the probiotic in three times, which has helped a lot.

Wow, that's one of the reddest ears I've seen, and I've spent most of my life with cockers. Poor baby, I hope she gets better with the new treatments you try.

If she will tolerate it, try taping an old tube sock on her back foot. This will help prevent her nails from really digging into her ear and making it bleed. She may just want to chew it off but if she will let you put it on her and keep it on, it will help.

Well I'm actually going out to get an elizabethan collar in a minute, but if that doesn't work then I'll try your idea. Thanks!

We sell this AWESOME stuff at my work. It's called Blue Thunder. It's ear drops that you just squirt right into the ear. It dries out any moisture in the ear and helps fight infection. It's all natural -- my holistic vet also sells it. If you'd be willing to pay for it, I'd be happy to send you some. I believe it's $6.75 for a small bottle, $10 for a bigger bottle, but I can't remember for sure. Everyone calls it a miracle worker, it's the best stuff we have used. It's not oily either. Any of the stuff the conventional vets around here use doesn't work well and just makes the dog all greasy. This goes right into the ear and dries up. From what I've heard, it's hard to find, so I'm not sure if you'll find it in your area. I don't believe they have a site, but I think we have some brochures at work if you want any information about it, like ingredients. I'll try searching online first.

Yes, I want it! I've been wanting some stuff that is natural and dries out the ears.

I'll send you a PM.

If that's what you believe, then good luck.

Thanks.

Aww, those first 2 pictures made me cringe! Poor Novey, I hope you find what is right for her.

Forgot to let you know, I sent the Blue Thunder. They said it could take up to three weeks to get there.
