  1. Funny you say roo meat as that is what i have been giving her and only just stopped it and also sweet potato sometimes and egg Dont know if it made a difference because her ears clear up with the medication within a week and its just that each time we stop it(and she may have been on it for 6 weeks at a time) within two days we are back to square one. I will see if i can find a dermatologist in Brisbane next week,someone on here may know of one.(hopefully)
  2. No dermatologists here,but i would definately consider it and do it if there were,as i want to get to the bottom of this. I have owned 3 labs and never had a problem with the others,they used to swim in the ocean etc and were fine but since this dog started swimming in the salt water pool she has had bad ears.
  3. how it happened to start with was my husband encouring her when she dived into our inground pool.She would dive down to the bottom and then she started jumping the fence to get in all the time even at midnight. She stopped being able to jump the fence by puting on 5 kilos. And she hasnt hopped in the pool for 12 months now,before her hopping in the pool she never had any ear problems,has always been on the same diet etc. My vet said when i asked about changing her diet not to worry because she was fine before that.
  4. what a quick response,thank you so much.I am in desperate need of advice. It is not total ablation only the lateral wall to let more air in. the thing i dont agree on what the vet said was that we have the bacteria in our yard for her to be geting it all the time. Because he said it was clear on the in house and then two days after she gets it again after i have stopped meds because i have been given the all clear. I think it is still hiding right down deep and its just that the swab can not reach into that area,due to the right angle of the canal. what do you think? Otherwise wouldnt my other lab have got it also,if it was in the yard?
  5. Hi, I am new to the forum and this is my first post.I have a 4year old labrador who has had psuedomonis ongoing for nearly 12 months.She has been treated by yet this whole time and has cost us over $3000 now. The vet said an ear canal widening op should be our next step but has said it will be about $1500 and may not fix the problem. In the past two weeks we have had to put our 13 year old lab to sleep(old age) and my husband suggested puting our 4 year old to sleep also,due to not being able to get on top of things,her pain and the cost etc We stop treatment on her and within two days she has black gunk coming out herears(right ear is the worst and always has been). She yelps,shakes her head and also has burst ear drums from shaking her head. Is there anyone out there that has had this operation done and would you recommend it? And should i just have it on the right ear first? Also any one else had reoccuring psuedomonis? How did you treat it? She has had in house swab tests(each time) Sent away tests to see what anti biotics are not resistant to it been under General 3 times and had ear cleaning so we have given it our best shot but can not continue doing this,cleaning 3 times a day with 3 different things,drops etc Some advvice urgently required please
