Gucci has ear infection

Aww, I hope Gucci is feeling better now. They sure know what they like and what they don't like, don't they?! lol. So much personality for such little babies...

How's the Guch today (that's his Brooklyn nickname)? I hope he feels better.

Gucci will not let me near her ears, so I called the vet. and she is going to prescribe a pain medication. I guess she feels that when I lift guccis ears they hurt. I think the Guch is a brat...lol she snaps at me whenever I go near her with the ear drops.. So tomorrow I will pick up the meds and give it to her for a few days , then we shall try again.. Girls I don't know how to put the drops in her ears, I tried everything.. its frustrating. I really hate for her to have oral medication, if I can keep her away from it the better, due to her liver shunt surguery. Any other suggestions I am desperate!!

Gina, is there someone around that can help you hold your little girl? I know this sounds harsh, and i also know what a goofball i am with my girls, i hate doing ANYTHING to them that they dont like, so i know exactly how you feel, but it is important for her to get the meds in her ears, so girl, as much as i hate to even say this, you will have to be firm with her for just a few minutes a day

My girls walk away with me, they really do, but when they need their meds, they can turn upside down, or inside out, but for that minute, i am in control LOL
Wrap her in a towel, so she cant kick with her legs, let someone hold her head tight, and you put the drops in.

Good luck girl, i know this is tough.

Heavy work gloves - I'm not kidding! Then he can bite all he wants. This sounds like a 2 person job. Is your vet close enough so that you can run him over and they can do it a couple of times/day?

You know what made me laugh? The vet handed me 2 bottles of pills yesterday. One is for Max and the othe for Gracie Leigh. Is she crazy?

I take the pill, put it under my thumb nail, hold the mouth open with the other hand and the body tight under my elkbow. I stick some Nutrical in their mouths to keep them distracted, then I shove my thumb alt the way down their throats, shove the puill down as far as possible, quickly hold their snouts closed with my hand and rub their throats. It's supposed to make them swallow. My thumb still hurts from being bit.

If they bite, put on a muzzle. If I can handle a 70 lb Lab... I dare bet you can all handle a 5 lb Yorkie. LOL
They know when you're too afraid of hurting them and simly take advantage. smart little s***s! LOL
