My Havanese dog "BABY GIRL" has had this issue her whole life. It will harden in her ears and only vet can remove during teeth cleaning.
WHAT TO DO?
What do you think of this......I'm open to any feedback....
I recently tried the SMART SWAB that has a super soft tip that messages and...
P.S. Since Lucy gets very stressed out going to vet - I gave her RESCUE REMEDY dose about 45 mins before getting into her crate. also rubbed a little on her face and towel in the crate. This is the mellow-ist I've ever seen her going to the vet!!!
UPDATE 5/31 - Lucy is doing excellent. Vet just called with the latest Urine Test values that are lower than back in November!!!!! I'm mixing fresh food in with her KD diet (KD for now) - adding Wysong Archetype and Reno-Go. Her appetite is a great one. I'm giving her 150 mls SubQ...
UPDATE 5/22 - Remote Lab finally reported that she has E COLI, so vet did say to keep giving Lucy VERAFLOX for 4 WEEKS.
BEAM: Lucy is doing great at home. Jumping up on tops, eating great, and has pooped 1/2 her body (exagerating for drum roll of course :) ) MAG OIL really works great...
Thank you to @gailpope for coaching me on end of life if that were to happen as Vet is talking Euthenasia. I've read her website (BrightHaven | Holistic Animal Sanctuary, Hospice, Rescue & Education Center) at least 3x to get it into my head. I highly recommend reading it before you need...
QUESTION: Vet wants me to take Lucy back into her tomorrow to take Kindney Panel. It stresses her so so much to do that. What do you recommend I do other than take her and give her NUX afterwards.
RESPONSE: Dr Jeff said to wait for a week to minimize stress on Lucy - since she just got...
@Dr. Jeff also recommended:
Rena-Go to help her constipation - since Mag Oil is working I'm holding off on this
Wysong Archetype (freeze dried) to help supplement the canned food since my town doesn't have raw available - i go everyday and there is nothing to buy & vet wants her to stay on...
QUESTION 1 : ANTIBIOTIC - My biggest concern is the bacteria in her urine. Vet says it is UTI and wants her to stay on new antibiotic VERAFLOX for 6 WEEKS. @Dr. Jeff, what was your recommendation about this?
RESPONSE: Dr Jeff said to keep taking it.
QUESTIONS 2: FOOD - As we discussed...
UPDATE 5/21: LUCY's doing good today. *** @Dr. Jeff I never got your notes from our appointment, could you send to [email protected] again? thanks
ARS ALB 30c one dose right after our call - no noticable reaction at that moment
MAG OIL applied to her belly again for constipation - she...
UPDATE today 5/20:
LUCY CAME HOME from vet yesterday evening. She got 150 mls of SUBq fluids, she at 1 cup KD food, purring alot, sleeping in her bed, drinking some, peeing normally, pooped overnight. No temp.
Kidney profile taken yesterday 5/19 3:30pm
CRE 7.4 mg/dL (down from 15.3 on...
Dr Jeff asked this morning if LUCY is eating - yes she is now (KD food at vet). He recommended I take her fresh food to feed her every few hours.
He also recommended MAG OIL for her constipation - applied to belly or underarms
He also said to stop all Antibiotics - I asked why if she still...
more test result history on LUCY - BUN and CRE were normal until VET put her on ATOPICA for alergies and licking her hair off in JULY 2019, then kidney failure happened OCT 2019.
@Dr. Jeff, You know Lucy has Kidney Disease. She was hospitalized yesterday after UTI was not getting better and 103 temp (see test results attached)
Can you help me with what to do next since vet is talking euthanasia and her body shutting down. Here is her timeline since we last talked in our...
Hi @Dr. Jean, Lucy's stool has been non existent since antibiotic started. Although last night she did have a firm poop (the size of 1 grape only). She did cry out when she was straining to get it out. I gave her a little cream this morning and found diarrhea at lunch today about 1/4 cups...
@Dana - Thanks for info on JSJ. Do you know why I'm getting error when I goto Jin Shin Jyutsu® - Physio Philosophy, Mary Burmeister, Jiro Murai & Acupressure ? Error says "FORBIDDEN, you do not have access to this site"
UPDATE: Lucy did drink some more cream last night w/ her Antibiotic to help prevent vomit. She had no interest in food. Her eyes were still 1/2 shut - not feeling well..........This morning she ate some pureed meat (was not interested in raw at all). She actually gobbled it down before I gave...
