Re: Ear Mites! Poor Dexter, and a rough ride for you too...sounds like a good plan getting it sorted under anaesthetic
Re: Ear Mites! Oh no :'( poor Dexter. Hope this gets it sorted big tummy rubs for dexter and big hugs to you x
Re: Ear Mites! Oh poor Dex, hope he is tucked up nicely on your bed ! Hope you manage to get it all sorted at your next vet visit. Hugs from Maggie and Otis xx
Re: Ear Mites! How he is feeling much better after the vet trip. Sounds like a good idea... I always feel so guilty about withholding their food too..... If only we could explain!!
Re: Ear Mites! Boo Hoo, I dropped him off,he wasn't happy but he wasn't sad ,resigned I think is the word! You are right Rachael ,if only you could tell them that you are doing it to help them :'( an emergency came in so the operating list has been pushed back so I'm getting on with some cooking for the freezer for the next group of visitors that arrive tomorrow whilst I'm waiting to be able to collect him.He'll be gutted that he's had to go even longer without food ;D Stacia ,his ears do get sandy sometimes and I just give then a little wipe with cotton wool and cooled boiled water,I've never fussed them really being of the belief less messing results in less problems with ears...when he's got his head in my lap of an eve I lift his ears with the idea it might let a bit of air down!im hoping it's as simple as ear mites due to him not being protected....his spot on treatment has been Advantix rather than the Frontline that is used here...the other vet I see gives me a prescription that PAH fill for me as Advantix isn't available here.....it doesn't protect against ear mites though :-\ ....so he's had Advocate this week,this second vet that I see reckons ear mites are more an issue than ticks here ( although I have taken a couple of ticks off him last year yeeeeuck) so the Advocate is the better product...hey oh,let's see what happens now ! Mags,you can't get Thornit powder here,when I mentioned it I was told to proceed with caution with it,I know quite a few forum members use it successfully though x Thanks everyone ,I know he'll be fine....and his teeth with be super sparkling too ;D
Re: Ear Mites! Dexter will be home soon hopefully and keeping you on your toes enjoy some quiet and get ready for your guests
Re: Ear Mites! Thinking about you and Dexter today Angela, all will be fine and Dexter will have lovely sorted ears. xxx
Re: Ear Mites! 12 hours later I've got him home,Lordy he wasn't in that long when he had his tail op and castration! A traffic accident came in and delayed the operation list so Dexter wasn't treated until 2 pm....bless him he'd been there since 7.25 am.... Not to worry now,ears are all sparkling clean,teeth are too although we got teeth done for free as there was so little to do ;D... He did 2 poos when I got him out the car and he was straining to do a 3rd....I don't remember him having a dicky tummy after his last op...ah lots of tlc tonight.... Thanks for all your kind thoughts and wishes x
Re: Ear Mites! Oh bless him , yes general anaesthetics can upset tummies so its nothing to worry about, glad its all over, hugs for Dexter xxx
Re: Ear Mites! Poor Dex I hope he feels back to his old self soon and the clean out has done the trick
Re: Ear Mites! Ah, I hope the ill effects soon wear off, and he feels better soon with his ears more comfy.
