Hello Everyone

When we first got Sammie back in Sept, I noticed she would scratch her right ear a little more than normal.
No big deal, but when she did, Sam would make this moaning kind of sound like she really enjoyed what she was doing. lol
You know how you can always tell if your kids or pets aren't feeling well just by looking at them? Well, Sam just didn't look right to me yesterday. She wasn't as playful as normal, her ears were down and her eyes didn't have the sparkle as they usually do. I went to rub her ear and it sounded like liquid was inside. I made hubby look inside (remember, I don't shave dog butts, clip the dogs nails and any medical stuff on the dogs) and see what was going on.
He couldn't see without me holding the flashlight so, unfortunately, I had a perfect view of the inside of Sammie's ear. It was very red looking in there, so I went to the computer and Googled ear infection/dogs.
First thing that came up in the search was ear mites....ugh. Second was water getting into the ears and would also cause irritation or infection. Since she had a bath the other day that might be a consideration.
Went to our local pet store and they sold me a bottle of stuff for her ears, sucker cost $14, but if it works it's worth it.
On the bottle it said put in ear twice a day and rub ear for a minute or so. This has to be done for 2 weeks...okay, not too difficult to do.
But what they FAILED to tell you was this should be done outside. Why you ask? Well, the stuff is purple and when you soak the cotton ball in the medicine and place in the dog's ear she will shake her head.....vigorously,
And all the while Sammie is shaking her head, purple stuff is going everywhere....me, my clothes, floor, furniture etc. Yes folks, I was purple, head to toe. Purple hair, skin, toes. I looked like Barney.
My daughter saw me and said "Love the purple hair Mom, what's next, tattoo's?" Smart Alec kid.
Sammie is feeling better, I'm still purple and life goes on.
