Medical Conditions & Diseases / Re-curring ear infections
« on: November 01, 2007, 02:00:03 pm »
I need your knowledge, experience, and or whatever you can provide BPO!!
Teddy has had 4 ear infections in the last 1.5 yrs.
Last one was about 3 weeks ago and the vet was pretty aggressive about the meds she gave him (still weaning off sterroids right now) so we really thought we weould kick it this time. No go. He's back to shaking his head again and REALLY lovin' his ear rubs = infection.
Anyone have any experience with re-curring ear infections? Did you ever get rid of it? What worked?
Help BPO!! My big baby feels ickky all the time and I don't like it one bit!!

Treatment & Preventative Meds / Re: Yukky ears - Poor Teddy! What can I do?
« on: October 08, 2007, 01:27:54 pm »
Turns out he has a bacterial infection (very cool how they put his ear scraping up on a TV for me to see!!). Lots of pills, some drops, and a huge (but very worth it) amount of money, and we should be back to normal in 2 weeks!

Treatment & Preventative Meds / Yukky ears - Poor Teddy! What can I do?
« on: October 08, 2007, 10:58:47 am »
He had an infection awhile ago and we went to the vet and it cleaned up but seems he has it again - this time quite bad. I clean his ears with a papertowel and get the brown liquid out as much as I can (also been treating with some leftover meds from last time but its not helping). I'm going to make anther vet appt today.
Is there a REALLY good way to clean out his ears? Anything I can do to help relieve the pain for him?
Any home medications for prevention? Treatment?
I just want make it better for my big guy. Any and all suggestions are welcome!!

Teddy tried out the obstacle course last night! We weren't invited to the class because she thought he would be too big (nad I think she's mostly right) but we went and watched for a while and then got to try out some of the stuff!
We did the table like he had been doing it his whole life, same with the frame (though it was a 1/2 size version for training). He wasn't too sure about the teeter, but did it anyway like a trooper! Had a lot of fun with the jumps and the tire! Had some trouble with the shute but we got him to go through the stiff part of it - though he had to get all the way down and crawl through it! Teddy had a blast!!! It was a lot of fun and we are thinking about joining when she has it next summer.

So glad the swelling went down!!!!!! Sounds like you should be putting your feet up more often (sounds like a good excuse to me! LOL). Hope things settle down for you and everything gets back to some seblance of normality quickly! Feel better soon!

I just sent you a PM.
I had the same thing you are describing at about the 7th month. It was a blood clot in the back of my knee.
It would decrease a bit when I wasn't on my feet but one leg was huge and the other fairly normal. No pain, no redness, just one leg was way bigger than the other - I went to emerg and they gave me a blood thinner shot, next morning the leg was normal. I had to take thinners for the rest of my pregnancy and all through the next.
Don't let this one go........get to the doctor ASAP!!!!!!
