[nagdu] Ear infection

[Tracy Carcione]

Hi Danielle.
I'm in the process of switching Krokus from chicken to buffalo, but the vet
said it would probably be 8-12 weeks before I notice any difference, if
protein is the problem.  Or it could be a seasonal allergy, which will clear
up when the weather turns, I guess.  It is frustrating, and somewhat
uncomfortable for the big guy, though he's tough and doesn't fuss.

Oh Tracy, I feel your pain. I once had to put medicine in Thai's ears for
six consecutive weaks and the infection came back a few weeks later. I
pretty much had to deal with a constant ear infection for six months. Of
course, Thai also figured out that covering his ear with his paw was a
really good way to delay ear cleaning. Sometimes I really wish I didn't have
sucha smart dog... As I believe I said in a previous post, his ear infection
cleared up as soon as I figured out what he was allergic to, but I know how
frustrating it can be. I was fortunate that the first ingredient I removed
from his diet was the problem.

Danielle and Thai
