Last weekend Mum and Dad had another discussion of how to help get my ear better. We are trying conventional and complementary methods to cure the infection, which has now continued for mnearly two years. I have been taking Baytril for ages and my ear is still yukky and bleeding. The local petshop owner has recommended a different vet so Mum is checking him out. At least I do not have the problem of dog obesity, and they do not have t get me any fitness equipment

I just want to let you know what happened at the vet’s – it wasn’t TOO awful. I went with the nurse to a kennel but I had to wait there a while. I barked quite a lot, I always do that so they won’t forget I am there. Later they shaved off a tiny area of fur above my eye and a patch on my front leg. I had anaesthetic injected into my leg, and when I was asleep they removed the little cyst. It had dried up before the operation, and it was easily fixed. But it could come back later, they said. The good news is that it was not malignant: that is the word they used, I think it means ‘no cancer’ – phew! While I was asleep the vet also looked at my ears (I nearly bit her hand last time she tried this ). They think I have got ear mites again so we are using Cleanaural Dog to try and flush the little mites out. When Mum gets round to it I will show some photos of before and after.
