Gucci has ear infection

judy · 10-09-2007, 07:27 AM

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

How is Gucci today? Have you been able to give her her medicine?

Kiss Gucci please. Did you get the pain meds? That may help you to be able to give him his ear drops.

How is the little one today Gina?

I just saw this Gina, I hope Gucci is doing better. I've never had any trouble with any of mine when it comes to meds. If she doesn't mind having her hair combed and brushed, do that first and then slip a drop into her ear. Then brush lightly and comb again and do the other ear.

Let Gucci read this part......Gucci, you be a good girl for mommy, okay? She's worried about your little ears and doesn't want to give you bad tasting oral meds. So be brave and show her you're a big girl.

Please update as soon as you can. We worry here!
