THE EAR SAGA CONTINUES - 08.23.2010

We just got home from our follow-up appointment at our vet's office.  Luckily, our regular (and absolutely wonderful) vet is back in town and saw us first thing in the morning.  We removed the tape from Orso's ears to find that he has developed an infection throughout both ears.  His ears were fine when they were taped on Saturday, so this must have been a result of the taping.  Maybe there was moisture trapped under the tape and the incision was folded over or the tape was too tight, who knows.  Bottom line, Orso has no tape on anymore, the ears are infected, the right ear is still totally drooped, he's on a slew of meds to fight the infection, I tormented poor Diane with a phone call, Orso is one very unhappy pup right now and I could benefit from some strong anti-anxiety medication to lower our stress levels!!!  Happy Monday!
