Itsy - ear infection?

[DQTimnehs]

Well, first, I'm glad she does not appear to be in pain. Second, glad you're getting her in tomorrow. I'm sure everything will be fine, but you must be so proud of the way she let you handle her.

Thanks, Katy! I am happy with her being so tolerant but also not too surprised. Animals often know they need our help and allow things they wouldn't otherwise. I had a 350 lb llama that would almost crush me if I tried to brush or shear him but who stood perfectly still in his paddock, not restrained at all, just with my hand around his neck (I couldn't have held him like that if he wanted to go) while I plucked about 20-25 porcupine quills out of his lips. I couldn't wait for the vet as he couldn't eat and as it turned out, wanted my help.

Ohhhh Itsy

Thanks everyone! We have an appointment at 1:30.

Itsy has antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medicine to take and then back to the vet for another look. The vet didn't want to put liquid in to flush as it might not come out with the ear hole swollen shut. She couldn't see past the swelling. So 2 more weeks of medicine twice/day. Poor Itsy! She was pretty good about it last time but I will have to start getting up earlier to make time.

I hope that solves the problem

Oh, poor Itsy! You'll be ok. But nobody likes the nasty medicine. Your mommy will give you extra scritchies and treats. Then you'll be all better.
