Saturday I noticed Abbys ears smelled funny. I asked my son if he smelled it too. He looked in her ears and said they were filthy. I don't see how, I clean them every week. But anyway. He got the qtips and cleaned her ears (my oldest son, not the redhead ) Saturday night they started oozing, she started scratching and crying if I touched them.
First thing yesterday morning I called the vet to make an appointment. Abby's ears are infected. But guess what?? She also has mange Positive skin scrape and all. I don't know how she got it. I don't know what to do about it.
I have absolutely zero experience with this. I've had dogs my entire life and have never dealt with this.
She gave me this ivermectin suspension stuff. She said its processed in the liver and shouldn't affect her kidneys but everything affects the kidneys. Then (as if I wasn't freaked out enough) she tells me that if Abby gets listness or starts throwing up to get her to a hospital immediately. Is that normal?
Doctor says it's because he immune system is compromised? I don't get it. Is it compromised because of the ear infection? Diet? Did I do something to make this happen?
I spend literally all day yesterday on the net trying to find out about this stuff and all I did was make myself itchy any time she comes near me
