Theo's Ears

May 10, 2023 00:09


Theo had itchy ears again today, which seems to be a recurring issue with him. He does have rather long floppy ears, which makes it harder for the ears to stay well-ventilated, apparently.

He's now got to the point where the vet will not touch his ears unless he's sedated. I've never had a vet-reactive dog before, and although I've tried working with him, it's difficult to get anywhere when, essentially, the vet IS going to do nasty things, and that's kind of the point.

So now we have a bottle of eardrops and I'm going to try to administer them myself for the next ten days. So far, we have managed to give him two doses with the aid of liver paste and chicken. The ears seem less irritated already, so fingers crossed.

absurdly large ears, dogs, vet
