Annabelle has an ear infection

Ok, thanks for the info Nancy

- this is the first time AB has had an ear infection, there was no smell, so I'm hoping I caught it early and the stuff Dr. P gave me will clear it up - it's the same stuff I used for my labbie babies, if they had an ear infection and it always worked.

PS do you use the Chlorhexiderm Flush to wash the ears? do you just squirt it in the ear canal an rub outer ear to work in then wipe out?

Thanks, I'll order some

- I do pull the hair out, but Dr. P got a lot more out, guess I need to work on using the hemostats to see if I can get more hair out

Glad to hear that Annabelle is doing better. I had a friend who suggested using a barrette to hold the ears up to allow the air to get in once in a while. Lani has has one the wash we used I squirted in, rubbed it
around then let her outside to shake it out, we did it on the deck.

We have the squirt in cleaner also, always used it for our lab babies, a must to use outside or in the garage Wink
