so we took Jesse to the vet today to see about her outer ear infection and skin problems. it turns out that the outer ear infection is caused by some lacretion from awhile ago, so shes on medication for that. its called Bactoderm, we have to apply it twice a day for afew weeks. also he prescribed Otomax a gel-like solution that is squirted directly into her ear canal to help with the smell and bacteria; along with the regular ear cleaning with alcohol. that goes on twice a day to for a week. and most surprising of all...
the nastiness on her back is mange!!!!!!! she is to take 0.70 ml of Ivermeetin once a day for 2 weeks and go back in to have the vet check the results.
also he wants to check jesse later in the week for a speen tumor. he said maybe it was swollen because we fed her before we brought her in, but that it is nasty and he doesnt want to risk it.
also we are to take her off her Heart Gard because there is ivermeetin in that, and both doses could be costly to her.
i dont know if you all wanted to see pictures of her poor self, she isnt in pain at all, but is on alot of meds now. so i wont attach pics unless u wanna see it for suggestions or something.
