[Dailydrool] Chronic ear infections

[Adrienne Gillespie via Dailydrool]

Fiona ATB had chronic ear issues and saw an ear & allergy specialist. I 
cleaned her ears every other day with a 50/50 mix of warm water & 
EpiOtic advanced using a bulb syringe. I'd suck up some mixture, squirt 
it in & repeat until it came out as clear as I thought acceptable. Then, 
I'd wipe it with a cotton round to get the leftovers.

She also got prescription drops daily. The prescription was compounded 
by the vet and varied as things ebbed and flowed. It always contained 
Baytril and Dexamethasone and a third ingredient which varied (Amikacin 
or Tobramycin were two of the last ones we tried).

Here ears were amazingly long and troubled. When she went to the Bridge, 
I suddenly had time on my hands.
