Allergy sticky ears in dog
Hi there. My two year old Weimaraner GSP cross boy has being diagnosed will allergy problems. The main symptom is inflamed ears which then become dirty and sticky. We are working with the vet who is excellent but the steroid tablets which helped at first have stopped being effective at a dose which is acceptable in terms of side effects for the dog. The next stage is to try a topical steroid spray which we will start on monday. We have cleaned up his diet which has helped a lot but not solved the problem. We have also tried
Canaural drops (the thick yellow ones)
Thornit powder
We currently use ear cleaning solution made from boracic and lactic acid to clean his ears (at vets suggestion) plus the steroid tabs and evening primrose oil capsules, again at vet's suggestion.
has anyone else had experience of this and can you make any suggestions please?
He has bare, not hairy ear canals and is as good as gold about the twice daily cleaning and treatment.
thanks

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.They say it is an allergy but they do not know to what, it is a huge flappy fleshy horrible thing in the back of the throat and he felt he was chocking. he's on his third drip, I have come home, will collect him when they release him. They won't let him home until the lump has gone! He's chipper enough but hurts to talk!
Thanks all, but don't waste your sympathies on Mr N, he is now playing golf!! I ask you. We had a curry (or several different ones last night) but we've been eating them for yonks so no idea. The edema is still there but will give him a bland soft dinner and sit him upright to sleep.
I hope Cetti does pop in, she's nice, like we are!!!!

Why would we think dreadful of you. You are being honest and I have been in the position on many occasions, but there is a strong bond between us that noone can break, and besides I still fancy him!! ;o). I must admit the heart attack trauma brought us closer together. Made us both realise what we had got. I don't believe people who say they have been married for x years with never a cross word!!! No intelligent person with a mind of their own could say that.
And ha, ha, playing golf after all he put you through!!!! Glad all is OK now.

Thanks biddies, what I was thinking of doing went against all my morals and beliefs,and I am so glad that I have seen the light before I did anything stupid. He isn't an easy man to live with, although he is much better lately!
Had to laugh at jno's comment, but he does still have the edema and it is really 'orrible, he had anti biotics to take until Tues and then back to medico. I have to admit that I was so scared it was c, as there is so much in my family right now, when I went into the bed area where he was (they called me in which frightened me somewhat) I burst into tears, and I realised what he meant to me. Tomorrow I'll probably be killing him!!!
