My Shorty gets scarred and hides whenever dishes are washed

Friday, August 31st, 2012

Shorty gets scarred and hides whenever dishes are washed or dryed and put away. He has never had them thrown at him or anything. We have had him since he was a kitten. Shorty also gets scarred and hides if a radio is turned on but TV noise doesn’t scare him.

Why these other things scare him? Help!

Aural Hematoma in Dog

Saturday, May 5th, 2012

My paw-wee  just developed a hematoma on the end flap of her ear. Actually, it takes up nearly half her ear in under an hour (about 2 inches long by 1.5 inches across).

Her appointment to be spayed and have her tumor removed is in 2 weeks.  The vet insisted it be three weeks after her heat cycle. Is it okay to let the hematoma go that long?  We’re calling the vet in the morning, but can’t seem to find an answer on how long is too long.

 

Lab with ear infection that won’t clear up. Help!

Saturday, February 13th, 2010

My daughter has a 2 y/o male Lab who has had an ear infection for months.

He has been on Antibiotics, ear drops and ear washes. He does not go swimming. The Vet told her Labs have on-going ear infections.

Is this true?

He cries when you touch his ears.

What can we do to help him?

Thank you
