Wow! You have a housefull :) And I have been stressing about getting a little brother for Sadie :) Thanks for your comment on our video. She taught me to roll the ball with her. I didn't teach her. She does that when she wants to get us to play with her.

I love your pictures! You have a great family :)

You can see my comic at: http://www.wire-heads.com/istrip! Say hi to Murph.

Thanks. He won best Herding Group Puppy, last Saturday, and it was his first show! I would love to brag about it, but my Blackberry won't let me blog. Also won't let me add friends, or I would have added you. Can't wait to see more pics of your new baby!

I found you on the GLBT group and just wanted to say hello! We have much in common!

Thanks so much for the advice!! It makes it easier to plan for the trip. I'll look into that other med you mentioned. Thanks again, I know you must be busy!

Hi, my dog has been diagnosed with ear allergies. His ears were scoped and look great. I looked up that Clomicalm and don't really want him on tranquilizers; the less drugs the better.
right now he is on Burrows ear drops, 1/2 cc every 2nd day...he still shakes his head and sometimes runs to the sofa or bed and rubs his head into it. Sometimes he briefly rubs his head on the floor. Is this normal after 5 weeks on these drops. WE are going away next week and will change his food after that. we don't want to create any more stress for him when we leave him for the 1st time.
Is there any other med treatment for ear allergies? I hate to go to the vet again or phone him again...I am sure he is tired of hearing from us.
He was on Burrows twice a week for about 3 weeks, and every 2nd day for about 10 days now. Is it working, do you think? One time we missed the dose by 3 days and he went haywire again.
Thanks for all your help, I appreciate it.

Thanks for the comment on stress shedding. Just a few questions?
Is Clomicalm something that I would just give before the ear drops? or would he have to be on it all the time? Right now we give ear drops every 2nd day.

By the way, when I gave the eardrops tonight, he was shaking and started dropping hairs within a minute or two. So I definitely due believe it is due to stress.

Do you know anything about allergies? THe vet has prescribed Burrows steriod solution for his ears. He started out using 1/2 cc twice a week. After 3 weeks and not enough improvement, he upped it to the same doseage every 2nd day. We have finished 1 week of this and don't know if it is really helping him enough. Is there something else I should be asking the vet for. What about a steriod shot? or a stronger med?

Thanks so much for any help you can give me. I really appreciate it. Joy and Butter

Thinking of you and Cindi in this very hard time. My prayers and thoughts are with you.
