Chronic Pseudomonas infections

July 31st, 2007

Hello, I am interested in possibly adopting a 3YOF, spayed Spinone who is in need of a special home. She has had chronic Pseudomonas infections throughout her short life in BOTH ears and has required her owners to clean, irrigate, use steroids and antibiotics. She has be seen by a Bd.Cert. Vet Dermatologist. According to the owners, their Doggie Derm feels that there are 2 options left: putting down the dog or having surgery to remove both ear canals. Apparently, these ear infections clear up and then come back on a regular basis.
a.. Should I pursue this gal or leave her alone?
b.. Is there hope for her other than this operation?
c.. What is the success rate and Post-op recovery like for the owner and the dog?
d.. Will the dog be deaf?
e.. What is the recommended protocol for clearing up chronic Pseudo infections and how do you treat them?

Doggy Breath Help

July 31st, 2007

My 3-year old neutered Papillon has a bad case of halitosis. He’s on raw feeding with frozen beef/venison mixed with a little squash and Omega-3…and a raw chicken wing alternating daily. His teeth get brushed 2-3 times a week. His treats are beef jerky, Greenies, or 3 very small pieces of grain-free kibble. Teeth are clean and white – thanks to the brushing and chicken bones. No vaccines since the puppy shots.

Any ideas??
