Dear all,
sorry I forgot to add this in my last post. Kibby, 7yr old female white bully, recently started having almost chocolaty texture and color earwax. When she has had this in the past, it was because I was feeding her something wrong, or at least I assumed it was because of that. Its been this way for the last two months, and I thought it was because we were eating alot of berries (blue and rasberries) lately. I stopped and it still didnt clear up... then I thought it was because of doggie ice cream, its been hot lately. I stopped that , and it still didnt clear up.
Then I just started noticing that kibby was shedding reddish tears, and also, has reddish arms. I could tell her arms are getting a reddish because she lays her wet juicy lips on them all the time, she does like them occaisionally, but not obsessively. But then now with the reddish color tear stains, on the corners or her eyes, not just the usual wrinkles.. she doesn't seem bothered about it but I am getting worried.
Is this just yeast? hot weather lately? grown allergic to her food (no food has changed in last two months)? is because she drinks out of the water that her old sister Gabby drinks out of and Gabby is on a bunch of meds (presidone,metronazadol)? is it the claritin she takes daily? is it just old age? maybe its the fruit from the yogurt? she won't drink water with anything added to it like applecider vinegar.
Thanks alot for any advice.. geez , when it rains, it pours ,when it comes to the ladies getting sick...i must find a cure! I will post a picture of what I am talking about later, Kibby is sleeping now :)
sincerely, christine
Fatboy had a brown chunky type of ear wax
KIND of like chocoloate colored but anyhow it was an ear infection. I didn't know because he never tried to 'paw' at his ear or showed any discomfort. The vet gave me an ear wash to use once every 3 days and antibiotics.
