Labrador Rescue

Ellie had a check up at the vets this morning and her ears are much the same. Still some inflammation but we are going to try scaling down her steroids to one very other day in a weeks time. Also her antibiotic ear drops are going to be scaled down so eventually she will have just ear wash. That is the plan. She will need surgery in the future but they will do one ear at a time so she won't go deaf overnight. The polyps will never go away and will always give her problems. It's just a case of managing those problems.
She has lost weight this week but only 0.1kg. Strange as she has had several big walks this week. Maybe I need to look at treats that are creeping in ! It has been xmas after all.

Thank you for the Ellie Update all crossed her poorly ears will get better xx

Hope Ellie's ears continue to respond to the treatment.
And any weight loss over Xmas is a miracle in itself - we haven't dared step on the scales!!

Good luck with lovely Ellie's ears x

It was great meeting you earlier in the week, beautiful Ellie, hope your ears continue to get better!

We also have a Lab with ear issues so know what you're going through. We tend to just give them a regular wipe around now just using cooled, boiled water and only use the stronger meds if he has a flare-up. Fingers crossed that they are less frequent, he has had a good run lately.

Well done Ellie. Strictly no treats for a while and the lbs will come rolling off xx

Thanks guys for your lovely comments. She goes back to the vets in 2 weeks so will do another update then. She has bonded really well with me and cuddles up such a lot. She really melts my heart. My son went back to uni today (exams soon ) so for the first time it's just the two of us. We have come along way in 2 weeks. But I think she sees me as her mum .

Thanks for the update Jane, it does sound like you have come a long way in just two weeks, keep up the good work and thank you for taking care of her so well.
