Ear problems
I had Trink in for her semi-annual check-up yesterday, and she had a large wax plug in one ear. The kind where they had to put in the foamy stuff to soften it up before they could manage to flush the ear out. No infection, thankfully. And I have been given some of the foamy stuff to use at home, so hopefully we won't have this problem in the future.
The vet said to give her benadryl yesterday to help deal with any inflammation from the wax, the foam, and having her ears prodded and poked. Should I be concerned that she is still occasionally doing the head-shake thing? Give her some more benadryl? Call in the morning if she is still doing it? |

She's probably shaking her head because it is a little swollen and feels strange, but unless you see some nastiness in there, an odor, or she seems to be in a lot of pain I don't see much reason to worry, but, it's never a bad idea to call the vet if yo are concerned.

Benadryl? Perhaps it will lessen the itching. What is the foaming stuff? Peroxide? Yes, make a follow up call to the vet. I haven't discussed Aster's excess wax with the vet for a long time. Maybe there is something new that would help. I will ask my friend that has her half sister about it Saturday when I see her. Several good vets have looked at one or the other and concluded little to be done except cleaning them. I use water with a little vinegar. I feel sorry for Aster. She can't hear very well, but her ears still itch.

It's called OtiFoam, and the ingredients list says:
Water, cocamidopropyls bentane, PEG-60 almond glycerides, isostearamidopropyl morphine lactate, salicylic acid, eucalyptus oil. A blurb on it says: OtiFoam contains surface acting agents which loosen and dislodge excessive wax formation in the ear canal of cats and dogs. OtiFoam's foaming action helps to break down or dislodge large clumps of debris. Excellent for cleaning ears with more purulent exudates. Strong enough for in-clinic use, yet safe enough for client application. OtiFoam is formulated with a pleasant fragrance for greater client compliance. Use prior to using DVM's OtiRinse to flush excess wax and to dry the ear canal. |
