[nagdu] Ear infection

[Jewel]

Faye is eating Taste of the Wild Pacific Stream, which is a high protein, low filler food. I will make sure to vacuum more often during this season, and maybe that will help. She has eardrops for twice a day, and that seems to be making her feel better. The vet also gave me some solution to clean out her ears once a week until this clears up, then once a month. Does that sound about right?

>> Faye has been scratching at her ear and quite agitated by it the last few days, so I took her to the vet today. She said it is an ear infection, and that Faye was the fifth dog just today that came in with an ear infection. She also said it is probably allergies. Is this common this time of year? What, if anything, can I do to prevent future infections?
