With every day she is gradually getting worse. The vet thinks that the masses in her inner ear were serious and he said that they were not operable, because of where they were located. The vet that she is going to is absolutely wonderful beyond words. I love the clinic and I love each and every vet that works there. Cassie was going to a vet that was very inexpensive, but also pretty crummy. They kept perscribing antibiotic after antibiotic without finding out the root of her problems. My mom got fed up with their mediocre "cures" and she began taking Cassie to the same wonderful vets that I take Graham, Kersey & Minion to. They are really too expensive, but the vets are incredibly wonderful and they are so thorough with their care.

We are just babying Cassie and helping her out alot. She is unable to do what she used to do with ease. Walking has become an effort. We are not giving up yet. We are going to keep trying and keep hoping our little dollie girlie will be OK. At this point I am real worried. We have to look at her quality of life if she continues to go downhill. It's not fair to her to make her go through this. She has been so uncomfortable all summer with her constant ear infections, her many hot spots, her two ear hematomas, her itching and scratching and her feavers, her hearing loss, and her reduction in vision, and finally, these masses in her inner ear which are causing that aweful inner ear infection that just won't quit. She is such a gentle, kind little soul.

I feel so bad. My heart breaks when I see her. I can hardly stand it.
