Linda and Max.. Can you help, please..?
Rambo my 9 year Australian Silky has an infection in both ears, something which he has picked up from another dog on the park.. not mine..I noticed this as Rambo started shaking his head.. A trip to
my vet who has administrated the prescribed cream, Surolan .. we had to put a muzzle bandage on him, because Rambo was very feisty, moving his head very fast and trying to bite us... he did not like his ears being treated at all... now I have to put his drops inside his ears.. having done it this evening and Rambo was to say the least not happy, and tried to bite me.. I say tried, as I wore gardening gloves, as a precaution..
I need another pair of hands .. one to hold his head still and cuddle him, and one to administrate the drops.. !! Not possible as there is only me and I can't go to my vet every afternoon for a month... as this is when he sees him, and I hope the infection will have cleared...Have you or any others any suggestions?
Sedating him, by the way, is NOT an option, so please do not suggest it.
