Apply Antibiotic Ear Drops!
By: Chihuahua Addict | 20-04-2008
What is the easiest way to put liquid antibiotics in a dogs ears, without him fighting you and trying to get away? My Chihuahua has a bacterial and yeast infection in both ears, mostly the left ear. I'm a pretty calm person, so I don't think he can sense any fear in me and he never gives me any problems when I use the Virbac Epi Otic Solution to clean his ears, and he never tries to get away from me, but when I try to put the antibiotics in, he tries to bolt on me. Do you have any idea why, and how I can get him calm enough, to put the medication in his ears? Thanks!

The Modern Lily Tomlin
By: Galina Nemirovsky | 29/09/2008
I’m waiting in a conference room that smells like the corner of career aspiration and stale office carpet. The overly heavy and overly bitter receptionist has a voice that is piercing through the makeshift conference room with walls that only go up about 7 feet. Like an annoying hiccup, she keeps repeating “Good morning, Hudson. Your name? Hold please.” Over and over again. She is an extra large version of what the rest of the world has automated already.
