Allergy sticky ears in dog

[woofgang]

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

Sorry to change the subject but look what I've found. I was looking through some old photos and I thought I must send this to the Biddies to have a look at. I was about 26. I can remember the ladie's name too.

[woofgang]

I got these fr the living room and dining room, they look like the outside lights on ships
http://www.ikea.com/g...og/products/30147166/
It look a million years to choose the lights as I couldn't have the ones I wanted and then couldn't find the ones I chose from the displays THEN couldn't find the right bulbs.....my sis is soooooo patient :-)

Haven't read the thread so I hope you are all keeping okay...
See you all soon

[woofgang]

Ha ha jno....beads I meant....no bears don't you know what in my loo.

[netibiza]

Morning all, haha woofy I was looking for twinkling plastic bears, defo thought you had lost the plot there for a while!

Off to Ibiza to try on the red dress.

It's fiesta and carnival time here, shall I dress up or not, can't decide. Blooming freezing that I do know.

Hope you are all ok, back laters x

[Robinia]

Morning all...very cold but only a light covering of fresh snow which has gone now, so we're left with the old frozen lot.

Oooh, a chandelier in the lav? Do you swing on it and aim for the pan woofy? hahaha...

Whee, have booked a cruise through the Suez canal, always wanted to do that

[netibiza]

Well that shopping trip was a waste of time, tried on 3 red dresses and all way too small, the shop assistants can't believe that I am so big on top when undressed, as I do hide it well. I even wore eleastic pants which come up to the bust to smoothe the tummy but to no avail, tis the boobies that do for me! Will continue to seek but probably best if I wait until England then I'll go to Debenhams surely they can fit me!

Growingt my hair and it looks Ok until I wash it then it is dire!!!!

oh dear... the Spanish alphabet too short?
