Mom and Dad have noticed that I have been scratching my eyes and ears on the corners of the walls. I usually do this when my allergies are bad from pollen. Well, my hair was really grown out…like, the longest Mom has ever let it get. So she knew it was time to groom me. She told me I was full of pollen and dirt. I don’t mind the dirt but that pollen stuff is awful!
When Mom was trying to groom me, I wouldn’t let her do my head or face or ears. I mean, I don’t normally let her do those spots but this time I was super adamant about her NOT doing them. Now she knows why.
Just look at my poor little ear!
There’s no brown stuff but it’s SOOOOOOOOO red and owwie! And it’s actually BOTH ears!
Not only are my ears all wonky but my head is all scabbed and raw. Mom is hoping it’s just allergies. During my bath she used shampoo and conditioner for itchies. After that, she used medicated ear wash and then put antibiotics in my ears. If they are still red on Friday and my head isn’t healing, I have to go to the doctor.
After my haircut and bath, Mom rubbed my head and ears for me. It was amazing:
Here’s my before and after:
My face and ears aren’t done because I wasn’t having anymore of that nonsense.
Mom was really trying to get a full frontal of my face for the before. She said I looked like an ewok. I just had to google ewok. How rude! (But very true. I was super fluffy in the face.) Also, I was barely spotted anymore. When my fur grows out, it covers all of my beautiful spots and that makes Mom sad.
Anyway, a little POTP for healed ears and head please. Mom’s not ready to start the whole finding-a-new-vet saga just yet.
*Ear licks*

Noodle
oh of course… POTP to you Noddle… I know that allergies and my ears were hot and they looked like cooked lobsters… I hope that darned allergies run away soon… after we tried a new treatment for the allergies efurry week we tried vetericyn and – WE KNOCK ON WOOD – it works for me…

You may need a prescription, but my (actually not sure what she is? Grandmas dog? Does that make her my aunt?!?!) Anyway, that dog, Tallie, is a tibetan terrier with awful itchy ears and they always squirt stuff in called ‘surolan for dogs’. Like I say, I think it may be prescription (though we are in Uk) but it works well! And you get a big bottle so Grandma just uses it as and when. Hope it helps 🙂

Hi Rupert! My mom started with entoderm, a Rx ointment. If that doesn’t work, she’s going to try surolan, which we also have in the house. My sister and cousin ALWAYS had ear infections so we have a stockpile of ear stuff. P.S. I don’t like ear medicine. *ear licks* Noodle

Mom said she’s going to give me benadryl. She normally gives that to me for my allergies but sometimes it doesn’t work and she has to switch to zyrtec. When neither of those work, I have to get a steroid shot. OMD your mom mangled your ear?! I’m always afraid mind going to take my eye off when she shaves my head. (Noodle’s mom here: I did the ear nick to Mya and it was MESSY! Looked like I murdered someone. I felt so guilty.) Talk to you later, Ruby, when our mom’s aren’t around. *ear licks* Noodle

Yep, we can sympathize – Daisy just went through the same thing. Two meds and a medicated wash later, the scabs are gone and her ears are light light pink again. It had gotten to the point FAST where we couldn’t touch her body except on her tummy and back because her skin would actually move and she was not happy. It’s an annual spring thing for Daisy.
