[nagdu] Ear Infections

[Debby Phillips]

Hi Danielle, labs can get ear infections often.  Seeing Eye 
doesn't recommend that we clean the dogs' ears unless there's a 
funky smell, so I'm not sure what to tell you about what ear 
cleaner to use.  I used to use white vinegar, but I didn't like 
the Easter Egg smell.  Lol.  With Craig's pet lab who's now 
passed on, we got this really nice apricot-smelling solution.  He 
liked it and we did too.  With Lamar my retired guide, I try and 
sniff his ears at least once a week, and if he's doing a ton of 
head shaking and scratching at his ears, we try cleaning them 
first and then if that doesn't help, off to the vet he goes.

Oh yeah, and I gotta say that Lamar isn't particularly thrilled 
with me sniffing his ears.  Must tickle or something.

If Willa's ears are exuding something runny a vet visit is 
probably in order.    Blessings and peace,    Debby and Neena
