Those who have been to our home know that we have a very friendly Miniature Schnauzer named Andre. Andre has had some pretty serious chronic ear infections since he was about 6 years old. It is something we were told was normal for him & that he would probably have them off and on for the rest of his life. Well today Andre went in for his vet check up (he had been scratching his ears to the point of bleeding) and to get groomed.
The vet called around 3:00 to let us know that Andre was almost ready, but that his ears were so irritated and inflamed that they couldn't see his eardrums! Hopefully when we go back next week his ears will be cleared up and they can verify that his ear drums are still intact. The good news is that all the blood work they did came back with great results! With the exception of his ears Andre is a very healthy 11 year old dog!
So $300 later we have our sweet boy back home, lots of meds to give him, and he has to wear a cone of shame for a week!
