Thanks guys!

Just want to say thank you to everyone for sending such nice emails to my blog and to mommy about my ears.

Mom has been doing a lot of reading about special allergy diets for me and has a call into my doctor about it. She is also going to talk to him about putting me on long term steriods- won't I be the big beefy dude then! heheheh!

Mom has already had me tested for low-tyroid, but it came back normal. Well, on the low side, but not low enough for medication according to the docs. Anyway, this really surprised mom cause she was sure I was a thyroid dog- whatever THAT is suppsed to mean.

Mom and dad are leaving on Saturday to go to San Diego for a week and me and Ollie are going to be staying with grandma and grandpa. Mom said something like I should enjoy it, cause I may not get to go back to grandma and grandpa's for awhile. Mom seems to think she needs to have complete control over my diet for awhile to try to get my allergies in check and she says she thinks I eat all kinds of stuff at the grandparents. It's not true, I say! I pleaded and pleaded, but mom says unless the doc has something really good up his sleeve, things might be changing for me for a few months. Now how is that fair? mom and dad go to California and I at the edm I don't get to go to grandpa's? Geez.

Finnegan is going to go to doggy camp while mom and dad are gone and he's looking forward to it. He always has so much fun there and we like it too cause he comes home so tired he sleeps all the time! Yes sir-ee---a tired Finney is a good Finney!

Anyway guys, thanks again for the nice emails. Mom says she is going to get to the bottom of this ear thing if it's the last thing she does!

ohmyohmyohmy...we must really be bruzzers. See, when we had my thyroid tested, I was BORDERLINE low, but we put me on the pills anyway. However, muzzer says she has not seen any large changes, and I am certainly still substantial.

kisses for your ears
Gussie

Hi Mackie - so nice to meet you...I'm so sorry you are having trouble with your ears...not sure what I can contribute...only that when my big bro Dublin (he's at Rainbow Bridge now) used to have ear troubles & it was all intermixed with his hypothyroid, skin itchie allergies...He was on Pred. (steroid) for auto-immune issues & that steroid pretty much cleared up the ear stuff...but its a nasty drug..if you can find an alternative, its better...

Hang in there....

Love & Licks,
Randi

Grandparents rock when it comes to food...for that matter the men in our family rock when they feed us. Mumsie uses this horrid little cup and measures EXACTLY. The men don't...and it's always MORE!

Mumsie treated her last wiry foxy for hypothyroidism though he was only borderline too like some of the other doggies on here. Thyroid medicine in that case won't hurt them and can only help...at least what our vettie said.

Sounds like you have lotsa advice here...kudos to your mom for investigatin' for ya Mackie...

Have fun on your vacation!

Sending you LOTS OF LOVIN', hope those ears get better soon!!!!

Mama suggests adding some probiotics to your diet (yogurt and stuff), it can sometimes help with weird issues.

Love,

Sounds like your mom is doing everything she can. Casey is doing very well by the way. He has matured into a very wiry fox terrier. Have fun while the rents are gone. My dad has been taking about a raw diet and then something about Orijen food which is raw kibble.
Good luck!
