[nagdu] Ear infection

[Darla Rogers]

	That is exactly what my vet said to do; he caught the beginnings of
an ear infection when I took Mr. Finn aka Huck into the vet for a stool
sample, so I had to use it twice a day for 10 days and now just once a week.
	I hear a mixture of 2 to 1 vinegar and water also works well.

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?

Vacuum frequently?

>> 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?
