Vet in the town

When vet is coming to town it's time to check for vaccinations for dogs and also if there is some other things which are bothering, they can be check. Our dog is pretty sure to get vaccination is something which can be lethal - it's worth to be fighting for life. Almost 30 kilos of panicking dog isn't that easy to hold but this years vaccination went relatively fine.

Our dog has been having some troubles with his ears and last autumn when we were on holiday we took him to vet. He was having infection in his ears. He didn't get totally fine after that treatment so vet was checking again his ears. Yes, an ear was still infected. Now he got some antibiotics for addition to ear drops.

It was written that antibiotics were having some taste on them which makes dogs and cats to eat them happily. I'm not believing everything what is told so I hide the tablet in a meat ball. He took the meat ball, ate it and spat the pill out. Now I understood why the tablet was that screaming pink - it's much easier to find it from the floor with that colour.

I can't believe that he who has designed the medicine bottle for ear drops is having a dog. At least our dog isn't waiting still that we could just drop that liquid on his ears. Drops are feeling uncomfortable (just try to put some drops in your own ears!) and when he's moving his head that pointy and pretty sharp tip of the bottle is sticking him in the ear making medicating also painful. And to being honest I'm not sure if I can count 3-4 drops but he's just getting a random amount of medicine. I really want to quit the infection so I needed to fix somehow the bottle. I added a spray nozzle on it and it's working actually brilliantly. One spray is enough and it's spreads medicine nicely on thin layer in the ear. Quick and easy! Why they just wouldn't make that kind of bottles?
