If you're not a big country fan, you might be surprised to learn that you're missing out by not watching the Country Music Association Awards.
Year after year, the CMAs prove more entertaining than nearly any other TV awards show. A lot of this has to do with Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley, two reliably funny and charming performers who are perfectly comfortable breaking into song at any moment. (They've hosted the show since 2008.) But the entire show is a little less predictable, and a little more irreverent, than what we're used to seeing on TV. Here are the five most surprising moments of last night's CMAs.
Brad Paisley & Carrie Underwood reworked George Strait's classic "Amarillo by Morning" as a duet making fun of Obamacare. And the crowd went wild! (Except Taylor Swift. She looked confused.)
Brad & Carrie wasted no time in calling out Luke Bryan and Zac Brown's feud, getting them to hug -- and then assigning new "feuds" to the superstars in the audience. Note the sly diss of Julianne Hough's Halloween costume!
Taylor Swift got the Pinnacle Award, one of country music's highest and rarest honors -- accompanied by a star-studded tribute that left her speechless. It's definitely the first time that Mick Jagger, Justin Timberlake and Julia Roberts have all shown their faces at the CMAs!
Blake Shelton & Miranda Lambert officially became the Beyonce and Jay Z of country music. These two were a big deal before, but after taking home Male & Female Vocalist of the Year for the second year in a row, they're the cutest power couple around -- and the unstoppable king and queen of country!
The cast of Duck Dynasty came onstage and twerked while Brad & Carrie sang a parody of "Blurred Lines." CANNOT UNSEE.

Comfort Inn guests will soon be noticing some changes.
Next month, Comfort Inn & Suites hotel will open in Spokane Valley, Wash., as the brand's first newly redesigned property. The hotel's furniture, fixtures and equipment were all replaced to fit into the new Comfort Truly Yours design.
Choice Hotels International, Comfort's parent company, got feedback from more than 1,500 guests to come up with the new design. More than 100 properties are in the midst of a redesign. Others will follow, with the brand-wide overhaul scheduled to be completed by 2015. The company has said it is willing to close up to 10% of its Comfort hotels if they don't meet guest satisfaction standards.

"Our goal is to make Comfort more competitive, more consistent and more contemporary," said Christina Williamson, senior director of brand strategy for Comfort Inn and Comfort Suites at Choice Hotels International.
Changes include new uniforms for staff and new front desk areas with a welcome wall incorporating a reception desk and stone backdrop with soft lighting.
By the end of 2013, the "Truly Yours" bedding program will be in place. It includes an upgrade of more than 234,000 beds and nearly 1 million pillows. Guests will have a choice of soft or firm pillows when they check in.
Comfort Suites will have new "Your Suite Success" in-room recharge stations at every location by June 1. The fitness centers are also getting an upgrade.
Some changes have already been made. Last year, all Comfort hotels began featuring the upgraded Your Morning Breakfast, which includes hot items and new flavored waffles.

About a year ago, the president came down with an unconfirmed case of Lyme disease, the White House has said. Spokesman Scott Stanzel said the ailment wasn't disclosed to the public because Bush had already had his physical and "It's not uncommon for the president to have tick bites when he's out biking." That's just gross.
AP via Globe and Mail:
Lyme disease is a tick-borne infection that, if left untreated, can cause arthritis and other problems. Symptoms can include lethargy, joint pain, fever, limping and loss of appetite. A bacterial disease, it can be eradicated with antibiotic treatment in the early stages. It can recur in some patients, but Mr. Bush's doctors say it hasn't with him.
White House spokesman Scott Stanzel said the treatment was not disclosed earlier because it happened after he had his last physical, on Aug. 1, 2006. He said doctors decided not to do blood tests to determine for certain that he had Lyme disease because the treatment worked and he never progressed to other symptoms.
"It was a rash," he said. "It's not uncommon for the president to have tick bites when he's out biking."

OMG I may have a nervous breakdown... - page 2
First of all, hello to you all. For the past 2-evenings I've been reading the posts here and have come across so much valuable information already. Thank God for this site. I might be visiting it often in the months to come. ... Read More
- 3Feb 2, '09 by paddleladyOne of the things in life is that we have to have personal boundaries. Nursing school will push lots of buttons. Make sure you take care of yourself with excercise, good food, something to nuture your spirit and plenty of sleep. Pick something that you know will make you feel better. Nursing is a stressful profession and you will find that you need to take care of yourself. This is not selfish these are survival skills. Find someone to confide in . It is important to process your emotions. Best of luck to you in school. The knowledge and experience that you take with you from nursing school is priceless. You will be able to keep building on this knowledge and skill.
Best of luck
- 1Feb 4, '09 by maggiesdreamEvery school is different. I am 48 and will be graduating next week from LPN school. I would of found a different school to go to. You are paying THEM to teach you. That sounds more like military school. I hope the night class goes better for you. Thank goodness mine wasn't so stressful.
- 0Feb 5, '09 by ohmeowzer RNyes every school is different, but most are very strict . my school was very stressful and we had many fail each semester. the last semester we had 16 fail , i know we started out with 125 and ended with 30. the told us at the begining only the best and brightest will make it.
you have to take care of yourself when you are in nursing school, sleep , eat right and get a big calender and write down when assignments are due. take it one day one test at a time. at one time we had 8 major tests in 1 week. and i studied and spent only so much time on each test and made thousands of flashcards. but i passed every test. i prayed alot , prayers help.
don't give up your dream. now you know what you are up against and you can conquer this beast. i send you lots of hugs .
- 0Feb 5, '09 by WSUCougarBSNGood grief. That is the worst thing I have EVER heard. That doesn't sound like nursing school... that sounds like prison. When I started nursing school, they told us that we are a family and that we have to pull together and help one another get through. I wore jeans to class, sometimes pajamas depending on how late I stayed up the night before...
Is there a dean or someone there that you could go and talk to and express your concerns? I know at my school, our dean was very approachable. She knew everyone by first name, and we were sorry when she decided to take a new job.
I was one of the older students in my class, and I was afraid that the "high school drama" would carry over into their approach to us on the first day. I was pleased to see that they treated us as adults (yet still with a lot of hand-holding).
Bottom line is, for that amount of money, I would want some respect. I would talk to the dean, express your concerns, get their opinion (reminding them how much you want to be a nurse) and see where they guide you. After all, they are there to guide you (supposedly).
I wish you luck!
- 0Feb 7, '09 by WhoNeedsaShot?Quote from DOESDADMy program is days 8-3 and I can honestly tell you that we had a hand full of people that worked full time start class, but as of last week, the last one of them failed out of the program.. he failed in Geriatrics.Well, you all have scared the b'Jesus out of me. I was hoping to work full time and do an lpn program at night - is that crazy?
Now mind you he was having marital issues also..... So I honestly think he may have just given up.
But all in all, 6 months into the program, of those of us that are left, if they work at all, its part time at best.
Good Luck and Im sure if you want it, you will find a way to make it work.........
- 0Feb 7, '09 by NamasteNurseyou know, I've been thinking and we have to realize that when we get 'out there' we are going to be working under an RN or MD and so had better get used to taking orders and doing what we're told. If the instructors are hard on you, I think it's probably a good thing to get used to. If you can't take it as a learning experience, either do something else or learn to love learning experiences! LOL..... :heartbeat
- 0Feb 7, '09 by paddleladyI too went to Catholic schools throughout elementary and some of high school. I went to a Catholic nursing school. I was taught by nuns and priests. My RN training was at a Catholic school and hospital. However, for me it may have contributed to me being more rebelious and a bit wild. But I was very good in times of change in my years of nursing and had the ability to speak up for my profession as the oppression I felt in school was no longer severing me as a professional. So all those years of being threatened and the instilling the fear of guilt lead me to a place to become a stronger person . As I look back, it all seems so militaristic. I have always tryed to treat LPN's and nursing assistances as a strong part of the team and have tried not to feel like I was telling someone to do something but to teach them the essentials of patient care . I dont like commanding co-workers. I think we all work together for the patients greater and highest good.
Anyway, this is an interesting discussion on learning techiniques in the current nursing arena. :heartbeat
- 0Feb 9, '09 by doesdadAfter much thought about the pros and cons of my own experience, I have to say that what I got from my early Catholic eduation was more positive than negitive. Oh sure, I rebelled and got a little crazy when I got to college, then again it was the early 70's. I did get shorted changed in some areas, for instance we had very little music and art and my grammer school didn't have a gym. However I know I did get a superior academic education, far beyond what I would have recieved in the local public school and certainly beyond what my parents could have afforded. As a freshman in college I was amazed at how advanced my courses in high school had been and I realized that the all famous CS DISIPLINE extended to studies and that I was a critical thinker.
I also believe, or would like to believe that since my time Catholic schools have become more progessive and much, if not all of the physical and psychological abuse is gone.

Newt Gingrich on Education
Former Republican Representative (GA-6) and Speaker of the House
Consider also that the Detroit public school system will spend $7,469 per pupil. The Detroit school system doesn't fail for lack of money. They fail because success if not the priority. If you measure the Detroit system by whether the checks arrive for the bureaucrats each month no matter how badly they are doing, then it has 100% success rate.
The young people of Detroit need more learning options, but government stands in their way. Michigan community colleges, for example, are prevented by state law from chartering schools in city districts. A charter school is simply a public school freed from the bureaucracy's rules and willing to hold itself accountable for producing results. And guess what? They work.
But real change requires real change, not new rhetoric while doing more o the same old thing. Propping up the failed past at the expense of future generations leads to prison and poverty for too many of our children.
In city after city across the country, education bureaucrats and unions make it quite clear that they put the union's interests ahead of the children.
The collapse of math and science education in the US and the relative decline of investment in basic research is an enormous strategic threat to American national security. There is a grave danger that the US will find itself collapsing in scientific and technological capabilities in our lifetime.
This is among the most important decisions our generation will make about our country's future and our children's future. For the last twenty years, we have tried to improve education while accepting the fundamental principles of a failed system, guarded by the education bureaucrats and teachers unions. We must now transform math and science education or fall behind. It really is that simple.
We should therefore conduct a pilot project to see if this approach can be successful. And we should begin by targeting a poor inner city district where the potential for sending a strong signal is perhaps strongest.
How can the judiciary, including the Supreme Court, overrule the culture & maintain its moral authority? It can't. The Supreme Court begins each day with the proclamation "God save the United States and this honorable Court." This phrase was not adopted as a ceremonial phrase of no meaning: it was adopted because justices in the 1820s actually wanted to call on God to save the US & the Court
It is absolutely necessary to establish a firm foundation of patriotic education upon which further knowledge can be built; otherwise, Americans will lack understanding of American values & how important & great it is to be an American.
It is important to understand what makes America so unique and why generations of diverse people immigrated to this great land for freedom and opportunity. If Americans do not appreciate America, then how can they be ready and willing to defend her?
These ideas are designed to stimulate thinking beyond the timid "let's do more of the same" that has greeted every call for rethinking math and science education.
Graduates willing to stay in math and science fields should pay zero interest on their student loans until their incomes reach four times the national average income. This would encourage students to stay in these needed fields and continue to pursue knowledge.
It is an objective reality that we are not producing enough educated 18-year olds capable of sustaining this society in the 21st century.
The depth of this problem dictates that we must be bold in finding a solution. This includes serious considerations of notions like waiving interest on student loans for undergraduates that major in math or science.
We must rethink how we educate our children in math and science. In my judgment it is harder than most other kinds of learning. There are many reasons in a wealthy society that people at the margins do not go into math or science. One is the fact that there is no immediate advantage to majoring in something that is harder and requires more work.
We should go beyond force-feeding numbers and theories to a level of discovery where a child wonders what the answers are and goes in search of them for the excitement of it.
"I think we ought to voucherize every program in the inner city with cash payments to parents allowing them to decide where and what to purchase, be it an elementary school, health care, or groceries." Some in his audience thought he was exaggerating to make a point. In a later interview, he was willin to go even further. "Suppose you need to get children away from failed teachers. What f we called on the home-schoolers in Maryland and Virginia to come to D.C. for a massive home schooling program, teaching parents how to teach their children."
I had a very bright student in the class who said, "Do you really think voluntar school prayer matters that much? Why does it matter? You really think 30 seconds matter?" And I suddenly realized the reason it matters is it establishes at the beginning of the day the concept of a hierarchy. That the teacher is an intermediary between the Creator who is endowing is with our unalienable rights and us.
If there is a Creator and your rights are endowed by the Creator, then there is a direct bond between you and the Creator. Now this is not a violation of church and state. They're not
In 1963, the Supreme Court banned organized school prayer. "Why was the 1963 decision wrong? It was wrong as law because it misread the Constitution. I'm not a lawyer, but I am a historian. As an historian, I will just tell you flatly the meaning of the Constitution was simple. It was not to drive religion out of public life. It was to ensure that there would be no organized religion subsidized directly by the state and imposed on others. They're just wrong & they ought to say that."
The Oct. 1994 lecture on school prayer is one of Gingrich's most powerful speeches. I suspect most listeners heard it as a cry of faith, in God, and in a Republic built on the idea of God
To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to restore and make permanent the income tax exclusion of amounts paid under employer-provided educational assistance programs for employees.
Nothing in this Constitution shall be construed to prohibit individual or group prayer in public schools or other public institutions. No person shall be required by the United States or by any State to participate in prayer . Neither the United States nor any State shall compose the words of any prayer to be said in public schools.H. J. RES. 78 (1997):
To secure the people's right to acknowledge God according to the dictates of conscience: Neither the United States nor any State shall establish any official religion, but the people's right to pray and to recognize their religious beliefs, heritage, or traditions on public property, including schools, shall not be infringed. Neither the United States nor any State shall require any person to join in prayer or other religious activity, prescribe school prayers, discriminate against religion, or deny equal access to a benefit on account of religion.

NFL.com: Lovie Smith interviewing with San Diego Chargers for head coach
SAN DIEGO - NFL.com's Ian Rapoport is reporting that former Chicago Bears coach Lovie Smith will interview with the San Diego Chargers Friday.
According to NFL.com, Smith was seen at Chicago's O'Hare Airport headed to a flight for San Diego.
The Chargers announced Wednesday that Tom Telesco would be the team's new general manager. No announcements have been made regarding a head coach, but one of Telesco's first duty is to make the hire.
According to reports, Bruce Arians, the Colts offensive coordinator who filled in while head coach Chuck Pagano was treated for cancer in the fall, is another candidate for the coaching job.
Former Chargers Head Coach Norv Turner was let go Dec. 31, following a 7-9 season for the Chargers that was marked by a significant drop in attendance.

It was the only sign of peace in the chaotic clutter of trash piled on the rotting floor at 735 N. Mulberry St. in Ottawa.
A photograph of the living room was one of several slides Wynndee Lee, the city's planning and codes director, showed of the inside and outside of the structure to illustrate the level of disrepair the home had fallen into in this residential neighborhood on the city's north side.
Ottawa city commissioners voted 3-0 Wednesday night to pass three resolutions condemning the Mulberry property and two others inside the city limits as being unsafe or dangerous. The resolutions directed that such structures be made safe and secure or be demolished.
In the case of the Mulberry Street single-family dwelling and storage shed, Lee said, the owner of the property had indicated she did not have the funds to repair or remove the property. Lee said the owner did not dispute the property was in a dangerous state of disrepair. The property currently is vacant.
As for the other two properties — a carriage house converted into a residence at 617 S. Elm St. and a single-family structure at 923 E. Ninth St. — Lee told commissioners the city had sent each owner at least a half dozen letters during the past year with no response. She provided slide presentations detailing damage inside and outside both structures, which also are vacant, during public hearings regarding the condemnation process.
No one spoke at the public hearing for each property.
Lee said the owners would be notified the condemnation process had started, and that if the city had not heard a response in 10 days, it would put out the demolition work for a bid and award the contract to the lowest bidder.
If the owners contact the city in the next 10 days to two weeks, Lee said, and are willing to repair or remove the structures, the city would work with the owners to set up a timetable to accomplish the task.
If the city does not hear back from the owners and the properties are demolished, Lee said, the city would place a lien on the properties to try and recoup the demolition costs in the event the owners attempted to sell the lots or redevelop them.
Linda Reed, mayor pro tem, ran the meeting for Mayor Sara Caylor, who was not in attendance Wednesday.

Not that
we're against children flying... but many on the ANN staff admit to
a sense of dread whenever we see a family with a baby or young
child seated near us on a commercial airliner. Apparently, we're
not alone -- a new poll by airfarewatchdog.com reveals the
frustration most passengers feel when seated next to an active
child or crying baby while flying.
When asked "Should airlines have a section of the plane reserved
for parents with babies and smaller children?" 10,170 or 58% of
respondents answered, "Yes, they should have done this long ago,"
while 27% answered, "Yes, but they never will and it'll never
work." Only 15% answered, "No, this is a bad idea."
The group also notes in comments posted on the Web site's
message boards, some parents with small children said that they
would be in a more understanding and supportive environment were
they to sit with other families rather than next to business
travelers and adults traveling without children.
Admittedly, such seating would be almost impossible to implement
in practice. Air Transport Association spokesman David Castelveter
tells the site children-only sections would be "logistically
difficult" to implement, such as in cases where a passenger
requested and paid for a seat in an adults-only section of the
plane but was forced to sit in the children's section due to an
oversold flight or the substitution of a larger plane for a smaller
Officially, airfarewatchdog.com remains neutral on the issue...
but site creator George Hobica adds that "even a kids-only section
would not prevent truly unruly kids and their parents from being
booted off a flight, as happened on a recent Southwest Airlines
flight to Phoenix when a mother traveling with her four children
was unable to keep them in their seats."
If you want to take steps to avoid having your flight
interrupted by a screaming toddler, or hyperactive five-year-old,
airfarewatchdog.com recommends adult passengers bring a good pair
of noise-canceling headphones, and sitting either in the first of
two exit rows available, or in the row ahead of an exit row.
Granted, you won't be able to recline your seat (not that you
should anyway, really) but you also won't have tiny feet pummeling
your seat back, as little ones can't sit in exit rows.
Business travelers and other should also take very early morning
flights (5:00 am or 6:00 am, if they're available) since parents
can rarely manage to dress, feed, wash, and otherwise organize
infants and toddlers in time to catch flights that early in the
The site also guardedly recommends speaking up. "Talk to the
guardian of the offending child, politely but firmly. Admittedly,
this doesn't always work. Ask a flight attendant to speak with the
parent, or to reseat you. If the situation is really horrendous and
only business or first class is available, ask to be upgraded if
seats are available."
If all else fails, Hobica says, "Just grin and bear it. Or start
wailing, kicking and screaming yourself."

The required approvals are independent of City and/or neighborhood association approvals and can only be given by the original developer of the property. The first structure built in Coral Springs was a real estate sales office on the corner of Wiles Road and State Road 7, now the Museum of Coral Springs History in Mullins Park. The second was the Coral Springs Covered Bridge, along 95th Avenue near Wiles Road. Neither is listed in the ledger because they were supposed to be temporary according to George Hodapp, Coral Ridge Properties architectural engineer and designer of both structures. It was difficult to find a Coral Springs listing in the ledger covering 1961to1970 as entries are primarily for Fort Lauderdale properties and are written in shorthand. The first Coral Springs approval is September 15, 1964, written in red pencil as 'CR SPR. ENTRY'. Then the only access to the City was on Wiles Road and Ste. Rd. 7 so it must have been for the billboard in front of the sales office, says Coral Ridge Properties president Robert Hofmann. That sign would now be a code violation, he said with a laugh. From then on, all Coral Springs approvals were in red.
The first house approval was on September 22,1964, for Coral Hills Drive and 41st Street. Three additional red pencil entries that October for houses #2, #3, and #4 showed no addresses but were probably models built in anticipation of the land sale, emceed by Johnny Carson on March 21,1965. The earliest houses were built in The Hills as they were on one-acre lots that could sustain septic systems. The Meadows, cited as the first subdivision, had smaller lots. As there was no City sewer system yet, we can conclude that no houses could be built there in 1964.
After 1972 Fort Lauderdale entries were listed in separate ledgers as Coral Springs housing starts increased to 3,300, including single and multi-family units. By 1977 entries accelerated for pools, fences and screened porches as earlier residents added improvements and new owners ordered extra amenities, in track with the improving economy. The most approvals occurred in 1978, with 4,500 housing starts. In 1994, Parkland approvals were added to the ledger and began to overtake Coral Springs construction. The last ledger ends August of 2005. This primary source reveals how the

We're learning more about the details in the final budget plan. Capital Tonight's Nick Reisman has the latest on the developments at the Capitol
NEW YORK STATE -- Lawmakers say they've resolved most their disagreements for the 2012-13 fiscal year budget, scoring deals on education spending, infrastructure and merging state agencies. But unlike prior years, this year's budget process could wrap up well before the Sunday deadline thanks to a tax code overhaul in December and a mega deal struck earlier this month on a new retirement system.
"Certainly a lot was resolved last year in terms of setting the path that we would take on in terms of Medicaid spending, in terms of education, increasing aid to education. So a lot of the groundwork was established last year. So this was a very good budget process," said Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos.
State lawmakers and Governor Andrew Cuomo already agreed to an $805 million boost in education spending. The only question was how to spend $250 million in competitive grant funding, a figure that Cuomo recently said was only a placeholder. Instead, lawmakers will use $50 million this year for competitive aid and then $25 million in the 2013-14 fiscal year. Cuomo, meanwhile, was able to get his major infrastructure plan into print.
We have the New York's program that's there, $15 billion in roads and bridges. I want to set up a New York Works board that coordinates all the capitol in the state. We have the billion dollar for Buffalo plan, Tappan Zee Bridge, so there's a lot of issues in the budget," Cuomo said on Saturday.
Lawmakers also agreed to surrender the comptroller's pre-audit authority, a concession the governor was seeking in his deal.
"It was compromise that was made and again, the comptroller has complete audit powers as he has now," Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver said.
Meanwhile, a statewide health insurance exchange, part of the national health care law being challenged in the Supreme Court, isn't in the budget as the governor wanted. This weekend Cuomo said he was considering an executive order if the plan wasn't in the budget deal.
Cuomo said, "I would prefer to do it by legislation, but one of the options is the executive order."
Budget bills could be voted on as early as Wednesday with final passage on Friday.

About Me
recently, I was waiting for his departure and could not wait to get into sexy lingerie. 30 minutes after I left the room, undressed and selected my favorite underwear and bra with normal filling. I applied a little makeup and pulled the toys. I LyEngineer in bed with a dildo in the ass very excited when I heard a car pull up. I just had the comforting and was in the process of removing her panties to ask how the FCUK I explain this, since there is no way I could restore the site, when he entered the bedroom. The door opened, and called my name. I was shocked.... you might think it would be closed, it would ruin what we had left the sex life. screamed that he chicascoyote was in the bedroom, and I could hear and tu

She looked like she could not quite believe me and told me she hoped I was not alone. He sat on the edge of the bed, but I had the blanket up to her neck when she was in her bra. She put her hand under the cover and immediately hit the rabbit that had me covered. "Oh has played, "said she pulls the blankets. had its fair chicascoyote to say that my cock had a minute before the feeling that was 2 meters reduced almost to invisibility. " What are you doing?

Are Klipsch Image X10i earphones too good for the iPhone?
Tiny earbuds made of aluminum have been a Klipsch specialty for a couple of years now, and now the company adds to its stable of the world's tiniest cans with its high-end Image X10i in-ear headset, now sporting iPhone capability. Let's give them a listen, as well as try them out on our iPhone 3GS, determining if they're really worth their unusually steep $350 price.
When Klipsch says it wants you to "feel your music, not your headphones," it's not kidding. These little suckers are so small, you can barely tell you have them in, yet there's a tight seal between the oval-shaped ear buds and your ear canal. That's one reason why you can clearly hear all the bass and glorious fidelity these delectable baubles have to offer.
Comparing these minuscule ear speakers with our favorite iPhone-friendly headphones of the moment, the comparatively gigantic Dr. Dre Beats, the Klipsch Image X10i holds its own. Even though it's about 20 times smaller than the huge and ear-smothering Beats, the X10i's bass feels and sounds almost as thunderous, while its highs are every bit as crisp and its midrange equally well-defined. They're the best-sounding, most comfortable earphones I've ever encountered.
This headset is built specifically for Apple cellphones, but its sonic quality far exceeds the usual compressed fare we listen to on our iPhone 3GS. The new features of the X10i include easy volume adjustment, play/pause/track skip controls, call answering, and good-sounding mic for iPhone. These functions worked beautifully on the iPhone 3GS. Too bad the volume control doesn't work on the iPhone 3G. Nevertheless, these are some fantastic earbuds, perhaps worth $350 if music, comfort and coolness are that important to those of you with golden ears and lightly compressed music. If not, opt for the slightly bigger Klipsch S4i with similar features for $250 less.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is their Antibiotic for dog ear infection I can get without a precipitation RX!?
Antibiotic for dog ear infection
I've looked and cant find anything and i can't drive so my only option right now is buying online!
I know that Petsmart has an ear cleaning and disinfecting kit. If you really need an antibiotic go to a feed store they sell them there, I don't know what state your in but out here in the So. Ca. area we have Centinela,and Aneheim feed, to name a few, but usually anywhere that sells horse supplies and other types of animal supplies should have some.
looking for a home remedy for dog ear infection?
can anybody suggest a cheap home remedy for a dogs ear infection? I have a cocker spaniel and she has some kind of ear infection but I am out of work so I am trying to avoid taking her to the expenisive vet.
Has anybody had any luck with any home remedies for this? I have tried putting the fluids from a couple of vit. E capsules in her ear but I am not sure if it has worked or not...I have only just did this yesterday though.
Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much in advance.
There is NO home remedy - you need to get your dog to the vet, have the ear infection identified -- could be a yeast infection, could be ear mites.
The vet will then give you the proper treatment for the problem.
This is not expensive and absolutely necessary. Ear infections don't go away with home remedies, you've just made it worse with the E capsule.
This isn't an option, it is absolutely necessary to get your dog treated by a vet - ear infections are painful, itch like mad, and can cause deafness and worse for your dog.
Get that dog to the vet -- doesn't cost that much for the infection to be identified and the right medication given.
Recipe for a home maid dog ear infection liquid for my dog anyone?
I have a Scottish terrier and she has a really bad ear infection I had this home maid dog ear infection cure but I lost the ingredients directions. Does anybody have a recipe for a homemade ear infection cure for dogs that ALWAYS works.
Trying to use home remedies and letting the infection go without proper treatment will ultimately make things worse. Take the dog to a veterinarian where they can identify what kind of infection it is, and can give you medication to treat it.
When using vinegar and water to cure a yeast infection in my dogs ear, does it have to be apple cider vinegar?
I have looked into homeopathic remedies for my dogs ear infection and many say apple cider vinegar and water. Does it have to be apple cider vinegar or will white vinegar be ok to use?
Don't use just vinegar, start with this, if it doesn't work try the raw apple cider vinegar. NOT white vinegar, that won't work.
Use this --
16 Oz. Isopropyl Alcohol
4 Tablespoons Boric Acid Powder
16 Drops Gentian Violet Solution 1%
Mix together in alcohol bottle and shake well.
You will also need to shake solution every time you use it to disperse the Boric Acid Powder.
TREATMENT: Evaluate condition of ears before treating and if very inflamed and sore do not attempt to pull hair or clean out ear at all.
Wait until inflammation has subsided which will be about 2 days.
Shake the bottle each time before using.
Put cotton balls or similiar absorbent material under the ear.
Flood the ear with solution, (gently squirt bottle), massage gently to the count of 60, wipe with a tissue.
Flood again on first treatment, wipe with a tissue, and leave alone without massage.
The dog will shake out the excess which can be wiped with a tissue, cotton ball, etc as the Gentian Violet does stain fabrics.
The SCHEDULE of treatment is as follows:
Treat 2x per day for the first week to two weeks depending upon severity of ears
Treat 1x per day for the next 1-2 weeks
Treat 1x per month (or even less frequently, depending on the dog)
All of these ingredients should be available at a pharmacy.
The Boric Acid Powder soothes the ear.
The Gentian Violet Solution is an anti-infection agent.
The solution appears to work well on any and all ear problems from mites to wax to canker.
After the 2nd or 3rd day you can clean out the ear with a Q-tip or cotton balls.
The success rate for this treatment is 95-99%.
If an infection seems to be remaining in the treated ear after the above course of treatment, you may also have some Pseudomonas bacteria in the site.
This can be eradicated by using a gentle flush of raw apple cider vinegar and water(warm)
Use 2 Tablespoons of vinegar to one cup of water, 2 x per week.
They have found the Blue Powder Solution to be effective for treating fungus-type infections on the feet and elsewhere on the dog, for cuts on dogs or people, and for hot spots.
Remember it is for external use only ..so be careful not to get into the eyes.
How do you treat a dog's itchy ears at home?
I think my dog has an ear infection or ear mites. Do you know of a good home remedy to treat the symptoms?
I have already made and used a solution of 1/3 water 1/3 vinegar and 1/3 alcohol...
Any suggestions will help. Thanks!
Ear mites MAY be treatable with the use of Revolution from your vet. This is a prescription medication, so it will require that your dog has been seen within a year, and has had a heartworm/lyme test within that time.
Yeast or Bacteria will require a topical antibiotic such as Mometamax, again, from your vet. You can't get rid of bacteria without an antibacterial. Products like Mometamax contain antibiotics designed to kill the bacteria that is commonly found in the ears.
Yeast/Bacteria debris tends to be moist, while ear mites tend to have dry, crusty debris.
The problem with oils (sorry) is that mites and yeast especially do very will in oil. While it may help with the inflammation, I've seen many, many yeast infections flourish with the use of oils and over-the-counter ear treatments.
No matter what you choose to do, do not use Q-tips. You should never put anything larger than an elbow in any ear, as you risk permentantly damaging the ear. At the very least, pick up a pH-balancing ear cleaner, apply it to the ear, and mush it around to break up the debris, then use a chunk of cotton to wipe it out.
Allergies often cause some sort of discharge as well, and itchiness. Again, only a vet could tell you what exactly is going on in the ears.
What is the best solution to clean dog ears?
My dog has a bacterial infection in his ears. I have taken him to the vet and am using antibiotic ointment. However, I need to clean his ears between applications of the medicine. What brand or type of non-prescription ear cleansing solution works best. I have heard changing the pH by using an acidic solution works well on yeast but how about bacteria? Also any suggestions on your method of cleaning a squirming pooch?
Thanks so much for your time!
I wouldn't really recommend using the type of ear solution you squirt in the ear as you run the risk of forcing the bacteria deeper in the ear. I personally use unscented baby wipes for ear cleaning as I have a dog that is allergic to every ear cleaning solution I have tried. If you are in doubt of what to use I would recommend asking your vet though he/she should have told you what to use if they told you to clean between applications
How do I cure my dogs ear problem without going to the vet?
My dog keeps shaking his head and rubbing his ear on my leg. I think its an ear infection, or ear mites but I don't want to go to the vet. It looks like theres alot of dark wax in that one ear.
Dogs don't get ear mites as commonly as cats. Don't treat for something unless you are sure of what it is!!!!
You can at least get a dog ear cleaner and some cotton balls and clean the ear out REALLY well twice daily. You can get WAY DOWN DEEP into the ear cannal since the dogs ear forms a 90 degree angle. You won't hurt the ear. It may be very sore if there is an infection though. If you are cleaning it really well and it isn't getting better, or you can't get down far enough due to the pain, you need to see a vet ASAP!!! A ear infection is painful and the dog shouldn't suffer with something that can be easily treated!!!!!
How do you stop dog from getting ear infections?
My dog gets ear infections when it swims in my pond. I live on 5 acres and I can't really stop him from getting in my pond unless I were to lock him up in a cage which I dont want to do or put a fence around the pond which would look stupid. Is there any way to allow a dog to swim and not get ear infections?
You will need to take extra care to make sure your dogs ears are clean and dry.
You may need to clean his ears each time he "decides" to go swimming. I'm assuming he is a floppy-eared type of dog, and many dogs like this can get yeast infections in their ears if they are not kept up with properly. Get some gentle ear-cleaning solutions and ear powder, clean the dog's ear with some big cotton balls soaked in the ear cleaning solution, and then put ear powder in afterwards to help dry up any excess water/solution that may be left.
You may also want to talk to your vet and see if there is any kind of maintenance products he can give you. Maybe giving your dog his "own" pool would help, too! Filling up a kiddy pool outside might give him a less-gross place to lounge when it's hot.
Is there anything over the counter that will work for a dog ear infection?
I CAN NOT afford the vet right now, so is there anything over the counter that will work? and not make the infection worse? Can i give my dog human ear infection medicine or antibiotic?
There are different types of ear infections that dogs can get. I would not advise you to give your pet some medication that could be the wrong one, it might make your dog sick.
Some vets will let you make payments. Ask your friends If they know of a vet in your area that will do that, and perhaps ask if they could donate 2 to 5 dollars toward the vet bill. If they do not know of one then start calling vets from the phone book.
My daughter has worked for different vets while putting herself through college. She told me how some of the vets will accept payments. She also worked for three years at an emergency vet clinic, which is how I learned how dangerous it can be to treat what we think is wrong with our pets.
What should i do if my dog has an ear infection?
i think my dog has an ear infection because his ear looks really bad. he also keeps shaking his head a lot and is trying to scratch his ear. what should i do?
Ear infection in dogs calls for medical attention. While some cases of this disease may heal naturally, veterinarians should be involved in the treatment process. It is essential to treat dog ear infection the moment it starts so as not to worsen your dog's condition. All dog owners have to be well-informed about this disease.
There are three types of ear infection in dogs – the outer ear infection, middle ear infection, and the inner ear infection. It is easy to know if your dog has an outer ear infection. You'll often see the symptoms of this disease, which is usually characterized by inflammation and foul-smelling wax discharge.
Or it could be ear mites
Ear mites can cause discomfort and itching.
Take him to the vet. The vet will take a sample, analyze it and give you the appropriate meds for the dog.
Can you treat a dog's ear infection without ear drops?
My dog has a yeast infection in both ears and the vet gave us drops to put in twice a day, for 10 days, but my dog gets incredibly uncomfortable and turns aggressive when the ear drops come out. He won't let us near his ears when he knows what we're trying to do and snaps. We've tried a muzzle, and restraining him, but it's impossible to administer the drops properly, especially twice a day, without putting him through stress and discomfort.
Is there any other possible treatments for ear infections? Such as, antibiotics to be take orally? That would be much easier!
It may be possible to treat orally, but to be honest, topical treatment is usually far more effective. Unfortunately needs must so if you have to use a muzzle to get this treatment where it needs to be, so be it I'd suggest you get back to your vet because obviously his ears are causing him pain, so some form of pain relief might be worth considering, to make it easier to treat him.
How do you know when your dog has an ear inffection?
My dog ear smells, you can tell it huts her, is red and like with scab and she scrattches it alot...is.only one ear not both.
All the stuff you said... that is how you can tell your dog has an ear infection. This is very painful to her. Take her to the vet today to get appropriate antibiotics for her. Do NOT go to the pet store and buy cleaning solutions or other types of ear products off the shelf... you can make her worse by using inappropriate products. She needs real meds from the vet.
Could the food my dog eats cause ear infections?
I've posted a question before about my dogs ear infections and I've tried so much to help them heal. They just continue to become infected. Does anyone know if the food he eats cause this type of allergy? He is on large breed adult formula ProPlan.
He's been on at least 5 different meds and has been to the vet continually.
I believe it can contribute to it. Excess sugar can cause excess yeast and bacteria to form in the body. Corn has sugar and ProPlan has corn... you can only benefit from trying a hypoallergenic food with a protien source your dog has never had, and no corn or sugar products. I like Wellness brand Fish and Potato, or Natures Variety Venison & Rice. A less expensive food would be Sensible Choice Lamb and Rice. My dog eats that as her normal food, but it's not hypoallergenic. You can't give her treats with suger either, so check all your labels. It will take 2 months to know if it is helping for sure. Until then, use the drying/acidifying ear wash from the vet every day and use the medicated cream for 2 weeks at least to make sure you don't stop the med to soon. Continue cleaning the ears every day, or at least a couple times weekly. Also clean when they get wet or if it's humid. If she has other skin problems, like itchy feet and hot spots, it may be seasonal allergies and she may need benedryl-that'll help ears, too. Ask your vet. You can try putting a dribble of apple cider vinegar in his water dish. Also try acidophilis tablets in his food. That can help good bacteria fight the bad bacteria in his body. I do the same thing for myself...when I can afford it... spend to much on my pets...
How to get rid of a dog yeast infection?
My dog has a reoccurring yeast infection in his ear. I want some natural remedies to cure it, please. Any ideas?
All natural no steroid Itchy Ear drops from the UK available in the USA
What can I use in the dogs ear to dry it up?
My dogs ears are pretty oozy. She is stressed and shaking her head consistently.
she needs to see a vet, sounds like she has a ear infection which only can be cleared up with antibiotics.
What is the correct duration that otomax should be used for dog's ear infection?
My dog has an ear infection and was prescribed otomax by the vet. I have read that otomax is usually given for seven days, however the vet prescribed it for fourteen days once a day. Is this too long to give this medication? Would it be ok if I stopped at seven days if the infection has cleared up?
Use it as long as the vet prescribed. It is safe to be used for a very long time. I worked for vet that prescribed it to a dog every other day for the rest of the dog's life. Some dogs have chronic ear infections and they need the meds longer. Your dog's infection may go deeper or maybe it is a really bad infection. But you should always do what your vet tells you to do. They went to school for a very long time to learn how to treat animals.
Why are My dogs ears are flipped inside out all the time?
I have 2 dogs with floppy ears and one of them has their ears flipped inside out all the time, but I have another dog who has an ear infection and her ears never do this. The dog with the inside out ears don't just flip back in place after a minute they stay that way until she scratches herself or we flip them back for her. Please help!
That happens to my dog. It could be because they're running and they flop back but don't come back down. My dog rubs his face on the ground and the flip back. There's a variety of reasons but I don't think you should really be worried.
My dog may have swallowed some dog ear infection medication?
I caught my dog chewing on the cap of Routeen Otic Cleanser for dog ear infections, She had just put it in her mouth, Im guessing I caught her 30 seconds into the act.I checked the cap and it was broken open and i squeezed it and some liquid came out. Can she die from this or even get sick? Please help!
I doubt it will hurt.
What is a good location to find dog medical conditions and symptons.?
I am looking for dog ear infection information.
Ask someone in the "Pet" category of yahoo, not people health
What is a good way to get rid of a dogs ear infection?
My chow chow dog has a ear infection ive been trying to get rid of it but i cant please help it would be great to know thank you
i couldnt really find anything the vet said just look for some medicines or so but what kind ? or anything else to treat him
well my vet said look for some medicines at my closest pet store and ask them
i dont know why my vet sent me somewhere else they were really packed lol
Really, the only way is with antibiotics from your vet. Ear infections, if left untreated, can cause permanent hearing loss not to mention, it is very painful for the dog.
Wow! I would find another vet. It is very discouraging that they are not willing to treat an ear infection. I certainly would not trust them with any future problems your dog may have.
Anyone know a natural way to cure a dogs ear infection?
I have a dog that gets chronic ear infections. Would like to know if anyone has a home remedy to either prevent them or cure them.
Yeast is easily controlled with either rubbing alcohol or white vinegar or a combination of the two. I prefer rubbing alcohol. If you clean the dogs ears with it a couple of times a week the yeast (infections) will not regrow.
My dog has constant ear infections with fowl smells and moisture?
I have tried everything for my dogs ear issues but nothing seems to work. I have a black lab that has moisture and a fowl smell to her her all the time.I am constantly cleaning her ear out and have used numerous types of medicines but it will not go away. Any suggestions?
This needs to be seen by a vet. There are different types of ear infections that require a certain medication. Call a emergency vet and ask them what to do.
What home cures are there a dogs ear infection?
My dog has a ear infection
I use a garlic/mullein tincture in an oil base when I have ear problems, It should work for a dog, too. I get it at an herbal shop
The infection could be coming from something lodged in his ear.
Foxtails are notorious for this.
How do you make an old German shepherd dog with an ear infection pee?
my dog has an ear infection which make his eyes roll around a lot----like the feeling you get after you spin around. HOW CAN I GET HIM TO PEE??!!?!?!?! he wont pee outside, even if he smells my other dog's urine.
If his eyes go back and forth a lot, it might be geriatric vestibular disease, which is common in older dogs and somewhat similar to an ear infection. This is also accompanied by dizziness/loss of balance. It is treatable with medication, so get him to the vet.
When my cat had a stroke we actually had to squeeze her bladder though her stomach, the vet showed us how to do this. Take him to the vet and find out, it may be none of the above, and if it is possible in dogs, he might show you how to help the dog pee.
What is the best way to get rid of or lessen an ear infection on a female dog.?
My girls dog has an ear infection.She has used other medicine to make it better but i want to know if theres anyway to make it go away for good.
And yes yes i know about the whole vet thing.We have taken the dog to the vet COUNTLESS times.And used ALOT of money of stuff he vet said would help but did nothing.One even made it worse!
Take the dog to the vet and find out what is causing the infection. It could be yeast or bacteria or a combination of both. It could be mites. There are different medications to deal with each problem. It's not a one size fits all type of medication.
The dog should be taken to the vet ASAP. Ear infections are very painful and left untreated will cause deafness.
Add: If you've taken the dog to the vet 'countless times' then you would be well aware of exactly what type of ear infection the dog has. Tell us what kind of infection and we can then telll you what has worked for our dogs in that situation.
How much would it cost to get my dog treated for an ear infection?
My dog has an ear infection, and I was just wondering how much would it cost to get him treated?
I think it's pretty bad because inside his ear is pink and crusty and he always whines and tilts his head and scratches his ears more than usual and also it smells bad
So yeah how much would it cost, in Australia (Perth,WA)?
It really depends on the cause of the infection, how severe it is, and your individual vet.
My dog was recently treated for an allergy caused ear infection- I took her to the vet the day after she started showing symptoms (as they appeared in the evening) and I needed an emergency appointment because it was on a Sunday- so the price was a little higher than normal.
All up it cost around 0 to treat- approx. of that would have been on the appointment, and the rest of it was for medication- she had a special ear cream, had a painkiller injection, and I also got about 250 cortisone tablets to treat her allergies. I live in Vic, Australia if thats anything.
What are some natural treatments for chronic ear infections in dogs?
My dog has had chronic yeast infections in his ears for years. My vet has given me tons of different drops, antibiotics, etc. but nothing works. The infection will go away for a few weeks and then come back. Are there any "natural" treatments?
Diet change plus appropriate antibiotic for an adequate length of time, followed by weekly use of Zymox cleanser. The Zymox products are enzyme-based, and kind of "eat" yeasts, bacteria, ear debris and whatever other junk is in there. It is the best stuff ever! You do not want to combine either the Zymox cleanser or Zymox Otic (a stronger formula for treatment of minor infections) with antibiotics, since the antibiotics will "kill" the enzymes. I purchase Zymox products from http://www.vetamerica.com , and you can sometimes buy them at vets' offices.
How to cure a dog's ear infection?
Natural remedies to cure a dog's ear infection. Have read about vinegar, garlic salt, alcohol, etc. Not sure if any of these would work.
maybe this will help you out.
or it could be a yeast infection in your dog's ear. this link tells you exactly what to do if it is a yeast infection.
Anyone know of a good sleeping pill for a dog?
We are needing to clean out my dogs ears as they are really bothering him. The only thing he is ADAMANT that we don't do so. He's a very close to the ground, sturdy dog so he is hard to wrangle. We want to get a safe sleeping pill to konk him out for a couple hours so we can clean his ears out without him freaking out on us. Does anyone know of a good, safe pill for this?
To everyone saying you can't give a dog a sleeping/anxiety pill to make them sleep or at least sleepy-like is wrong...The vet has done this to my dogs before and I can't afford to go to the vet. So I was looking for a safe one I could give my dog instead of paying the OUTRAGEOUS prices they charge. Thank you to everyone truely trying to help.
Hi, i don't like to administer drugs to dogs but sometimes there is no choice. If it is last resort you can try ACEPROMAZINE- this is a sedative (normally used as a pre-med) and should calm him down.
Whats with the thumbs down ?? This drug is used by 100,000's vets every day all over the world. The Q was asked - and I answered !! I thought you were dog lovers - so, who out there thinks that the dog should suffer indefinitely with ear infection or stress ?? If I am wrong - then tell me that you want the dog to suffer instead !!
How do I get drops into my dogs ears?
My dog has a very bad bacterial infection in his ears. I have to put drops into each ear twice a day, but it is almost impossible. I put a muzzle on him, but he moves and pulls so much, the drops aren't getting into his ears. If I have someone to help it's not too bad, but if I am alone, I just can't do it. Any suggestions? I tried giving him treats and all that good stuff, but it just doesn't work.
Boy, I can relate to this. Get him to lay his head sideways on your lap. With one arm firmly hold his head in place while covering his mouth with your other elbow or forearm. He will be able to wiggle a little bit, but for the most part, it should keep him still long enough for you to get the drops in. Once you have the drops in, massage his ear a few times so the medicine can get all the way down the ear canal. Hope this helps you. Been there, done that too!
What's a good home remedy to get rid of a dog's ear infection?
My dog has had an ear infection for a couple of weeks now. I have cleaned it really well, and I bought some stuff at Pet Smart that's supposed to help it, but it doesn't seem to. Can anybody tell me what to do?
I'm not a vet so don't take my word, but my vet told me to clean my dogs ears out with 1 table spoon of white vinegar mixed with water. But once again I'm not a vet and I don't know if this is good for an ear infection.
how can i get rid of my dogs ear infection?
my dog has a bad ear infection and her ear stinks, ive been puting cipro in her ears for a while and it hast helped. i dont have the money to get her to a vet right now and my dog is miserable, does anyone know a way to get rid of it at home?
What i do for my dog is i mix equal parts of vinegar and water and soak a cotton ball in it. then i rub it in my dogs ear, and rub the cotton ball as far down his ear canal as it can go. If you're going to do it to both ears, be sure to use a different cotton ball for each ear. I'm not sure if this will totally cure the infection, but it will keep it under control. I've also heard that 2 parts water and 1 part apple cider vinegar will cure infections. I've never tried it though. But remember, NEVER put alchohol or peroxide in your dog's ears. It will burn her like CRAZY, especially if she has open sores in there.
And i recently ordered a product called Ark Naturals Ears All Right. I haven't gotten it in the mail though but i've read the reviews and people say that it works great in preventing and curing an ear infection and ear mites. Plus, the ingredients are all natural. on amazon, it only cost me 8.99 plus about shipping.
but if your dog's ears keep getting worse and worse, you really should save up some money and take her to the vet.
what to do for a dog with an ear infection?
My dog has an ear infection, and I really don't want to spend a hundred just to go to the vet and have them diagnose it. Is there a good over the counter cream or drop that I can get from Petsmart, without having to go to the vet?
No, there are no over-the-counter remedies for ear infections. You are going to have to take him to the vet to be properly diagnosed and to get the right medication to eradicate whatever is causing the infection.
You don't even know what you are trying to treat, so how would you be able to guess what medication the dog needs? Is it a yeast infection? A bacterial infection? If it's bacterial, which antibiotic will actually get rid of it? What if it isn't even an infection? What if it's an allergic reaction, or something in the ear, etc.?
You need a vet for this one.
Is there a home remedy for yeast in dogs ears?
Yeast infection in dog ears. Is there a home remedy? Just wondering.
I'll second the Zymox Otic! I have a girl who has had chronic ear infections all of her 13 years. I've paid the vet a small fortune over the years. Several years ago, I found Zymox and LOVE IT! It works all the time.
You can go to Amazon and read the reviews on it.
Is there an alternative to an expensive to a vet regarding dog ear infection?
My dog has one ear infected and has seen a vet in the past, but due to the humongous cost of vets I want to know if there is an alternative to the prescription used by the vet.
You should never try to treat an ear infection yourself. For one thing you need to find out what exactly is causing the infection and get the correct medication for it.
If the ear drum is perforated and you put anything in the ear you can permanently damage your dogs hearing.
lt really is better to see the vet, if not you will cause your dog prolonged suffering and possibly cause more damage which will end up costing you more money and your dog more pain.
How to cure a dog's ear infection?
Natural remedies to cure a dog's ear infection. Have read about vinegar, garlic salt, alcohol, etc. Not sure if any of these would work.
If it's already a full blown infection, then you need to take your dog to a vet; those remedies (at least some of them) help *prevent*, not cure ear infections.
You really don't want to mess with an ear infection, they can turn into something serious if they're not taken care of properly!
Ear cropping a dog not traditionally done?
First off I am totally against ear cropping, tail docking, and every other pointless surgery that is done to animals. But for those who say ear cropping helps prevent ear infections by allowing the ear to breath, why aren't dogs that are prone to infections ear cropped? Like cocker spaniels or any dog with a drop ear. Has anyone known a vet to crop a dog's ears that traditionally isn't done?
I work at an animal clinic near Los Angeles.
Well it originally started with WHY the breeds were cropped and docked. There was a reason for it because of the "job" they were bred for. So it has become a tradition in the dogs of our time. I'll give an example: why don't they crop Basset ears? Because the drooping ears help bring the scent that they are hunting for up to the nose. I know I'm probably not wording this right, but do you get the drift? Every dog had it's purpose back in the day. We know have out dogs mostly for pets, but we want to carry on with the tradition that the dogs were bred for and alot of people stilll do use some breeds to do their job. It is more of a tradition than something that we have to do. I think it is a personal choice, but, that is why good breeders of cropped and docked breeds do this prior to placing their pups. They want to keep the standard for what the dog was intentionally bred for.
Can ketoconazole be used to treat dog ear infections?
My dog has white spots and slight swelling in the ear. She scratches quite a bit on this ear. Was told it is a fungal infection of the ear.
Unless your vet swabbed the ear and examined it under a microscope, you can't know what kind of infection it is. Some are bacterial, some are fungal, some are both.
Have the vet assess the dog.
I have never heard of ketoconazole being used to treat ear infection. Usually, the treatment is topical. Tresaderm is a cheap, prescription drug that does a good job with infections, and can be used to treat both fungus and bacteria (it's a blend of three drugs). I'd get the dog to the vet.
What would you recommend for a dog's ear infection?
My dog has an ear infection, and she is constantly itching it. I didn't notice it until she came back from the groomer, who also pointed it out to me. I have ear drops from a previous ear infection. Is there anything I can use to provide instant relief from the itch?
Vet trip time!
You need to determine the underlying cause of the infection - mites, bacterial, viral, fungal/yeast, debris - before you know how to treat it properly.
How serious is a dog ear infection?
On my dogs annual checkup the vet said that my dog had a bacterial ear infection. I haven't noticed her ear bothering her at all. She has been acting perfectly normal. The vet gave me ear drops to put in both ears for the infection but since I have started giving them to my dog two days ago she has not been herself. She has had an upset stomach and just seems really tired... shes usually pretty energetic. I am going to call the vet but I was wondering if I should continue the meds or what?
Most ear issues are primarily yeast with a possible secondary bacterial infection from scratching. If he gave you the drops use them. I prefer rubbing alcohol to clean the ear to prevent yeast growth in the first place. If the ear is heavily infected, then the drops would help.
What did the vet give your dog for an ear infection?
My dog's ear looks red and smells a bit funky. I am taking him to the vet tomorrow morning. I want to know what he might prescribe for my dog (medicine name and dosage) so I can research it a bit before tomorrow. Thanks!
Depends on what kind of ear infection it is. If your dog doesn't have a history of ear infections they'll often swab the material and take a closer look. Bacterial infections typically get an antibacterial ointment and fungal infections get ear drops with antifungal. Or they may choose an oral antibiotic, or they may suggest both. Lots of treatment options so it's hard to guess what you might possibly get. Your vet should be able to tell you about possible side effects or other concerns you have.
What is recommended for dog ear infections?
My dog, a shepherd/hound mix, 2 yrs old, has another ear infection. He had taken TRI-OCTIC, which was given to us by his vet. His ear is bothering him again. Is there an ear drop that anyone recommends, preferably one where I don't have to make another trip to the vet and pay for another expensive prescription medication?
Nope, a vet is your dog's best bet. Period. If the one medication didn't work, try another - doing anything OTC or without vet advice is asking for trouble. As in 'dog loses it's hearing due to improper use of medication' trouble.
If your dog is having frequent ear infections, there could be a reason. Poor diet is usually the cause - corn or grains are notorious for causing allergies (of which ear infections can be a part of). Go grain free with the food and see what happens. Properly cleaning the ear on a regular basis AND after swimming is also a good idea.
How often should i clean my english springer spaniels ears?
i don't really clean my dogs ears right now, and i really need to start doing it more often. I just don't know HOW often... Help?
Floppy-eared dogs are prone to fungal infections of the ear. I would recommend you check them weekly and swab them with some ear cleaner, Don't probe deep in the ear, just swab the folds with a wipe. If there is a pungent odor or a large amount of dark brownish wax, have his ears checked by a vet.
How long does it take Zymox to help a dogs ear infection?
Our cockapoo has a yeast ear infection. It has been 3 days and doesn't seem better. Does this medicine take a little while to work?
Zymox is an antibiotic for bacterial infections. It won't help yeast. They give this for secondary bacterial infections caused by the dog digging at her ears. Yeast is the most common infection seen in floppy eared dogs. It is reoccurent. Rubbing alcohol put into the year will kill it. If it is an active infection then put a capful in each ear 2 or 3 times a day until it seems to be better. Then when it seems gone, put a capful in each ear once or twice a week to keep any reoccurence under control.
As the previous poster said Monostat or any athlete's foot cream or jock itch cream will kill the yeast. I prefer to use rubbing alcohol because it also drys out the ear so it doesn't regrow as quickly and allows secondary infections to clear up. It also helps to clean up the mess while the creams just add to the mess.
What home remedy can I use to treat my dogs ear infection?
I have a yellow lab that has a small ear infection. While I am more than willing to go to the vet, is there any cheap over the counter remedy that I can use to treat, obviously if it does not improve then would take to the vet, any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
You really need to go to a vet straight up. If there is a yeast or bacterial infection, the dog really needs medicated (antibiotic/antifungal) ear drops to clear it up. The other thing with ear infections is that it's important to check that a/ there is nothing down the ear that has triggered the infection (e.g. a grass seed) and that the ear drum is not damaged in anyway. If there's something down the ear, then the infection's not going to go away regardless of what it is treated with. If the ear drum is damaged, you have to be very, very careful about anything that is put in the ear- some products, even veterinary ear drops, can lead to problems such as deafness if they are put down the ear canal and are able to pass through into the middle/inner ear.
Are dog ear infections contagious to people?
My dog has a yeast ear infection (we are treating it with drops from the vet), Is it possible for him to transmit it to humans?
No, dogs and humans have completely different immune systems. You cannot catch diseases from your dog and vice-versa.
how much does it take to treat ear infection for dog?
Just like the question, how much does it usually take to treat an ear infection for dog?
Depends where you go. There is the office visit, some places require you be current on a rabies vaccine before you are seen, so you may have to get that. In order to find out what type of ear infection is going on you will need to do an ear cytology. This will allow the yeast or bacteria that is in the ears to be seen under a microscope. THERE IS NO WAY TO FIND OUT 100% WHAT IT IS BY JUST LOOKING AT THE EAR. Medication depends on what you find, usually it's some type of ointment and an ear wash. You will need to recheck in about 2 weeks to make sure the infection is gone and the medication does not need to be switched. Usually ear infections are a sign of allergies, so don't be surprised if they find anything else wrong w/ the skin and want to send home antibiotics. You do not want to wait for it to "get better on it's own" IT WON'T. Do not wait too long because if the infection is severe enough and the dog is shaking his head like crazy you may have an ear hematoma on your hands. That is MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE to treat, basically it's a broken blood vessel in the pinna of the ear (floppy part) and has to be treated surgically. Also, you do not want to apply any of the over the counter stuff-won't work. Do NOT apply water, hydrogen peroxide, alcohol, or any "home remedy" that will just cause further irritation to the ear. Depending on where you go it may run from -0. Also, good idea to get your dog up to date on vaccines and heartworm test and prevention if not already on this. Pets are not cheap and if people cannot afford minimal care on them they should think twice before aquiring an animal.
My dog just recovered from a yeast infection in her ears. Can I give her a bath?
My dog recovered from a pretty nasty yeast infection in her ears a few days ago. Is it okay to give her a bath? If water accidentally gets in her ears will it aggravate them and cause another infection? (My dog won't tolerate cotton balls, we've tried hundreds of times. She shakes them out within .02 seconds)
why not use a damp flannel or rag to wipe her face ( use a little baby tearless shampoo about a peasized amount ) and ears and give the rest of her body a good scrub from her neck downwards that way you wont get water in her ears!
My dog has an ear infection, are there any human meds safe for her?
My dog is prone to ear infections. Most of them go away on their own. I'm having some money problems right now and can't take her to the vet. I know some medicines for humans work well and will not hurt an animal. Does anyone know of any cheap over the counter meds I can pick up for her? or any home remedies?
No there is nothing over the counter you can put into a dog's ear to help. Your just gonna have to go to a vet to get some ear ointment (antibiotic), they have different kinds otomax,panalog, and triotic. Your vet will give you one of these. If the infection is really bad, they may give an oral antibiotic also. I know that's not the answer you wanted to hear , but you will have to do it because your dog will only get worse to the point where she will start having a problem with her equilibrium.

Smallscreen News
Stephen King guests on Sons of Anarchy for season three UPDATE
By April MacIntyre May 7, 2010, 8:30 GMT
01/11/2010 - Katey Sagal and Kurt Sutter - Fox All-Star Party - Arrivals - Villa Sorisso - Pasadena, CA, USA © Chris Hatcher / PR Photos
What does Kurt Sutter have up his sleeve for us in season three of "Sons of Anarchy," the TV show that swept the Monsters and Critics' annual list "best of" for two years running?
First we heard Hal Holbrook was cast as Gemma's (Katey Sagal) long lost father. Now word is writer/author Stephen King will make a special appearance when the biker drama returns for a third season on FX this September.
Holbrook recently was interviewed by the Los Angeles Times about his work on SOA: "I did four episodes. It's about a motorcycle gang. Acting can be a cathartic release or it can be self-indulgent. And I've always tried not to make it self-indulgent. I like the people very much -- they look like renegades so I kind of like that. I'm kind of fed up with actors looking like they're in a commercial for some [expletive] product."
King's news was reported by Entertainment Weekly, where the author has a column on popular culture.
He will play a quiet loner who appears in Gemmas time of need. According to the report, one of Sutter's producers learned that King was a fan of the drama, so they reached out to the author for a possible cameo. King will appear in the third episode.
"Sons" has been a ratings bonanza for FX, and a critical darling that is currently enthralling Britain with its season two, underway since the end of April.
UPDATE from @sutterink,showrunner Kurt Sutter's Twitter feed:
"exciting casting news. making a deal with james cosmo for 8 eps. amazing actor! playing kellan ashby, an irish priest connected to the IRA." about 15 hours ago via web
James Cosmo is a Scottish actor who appeared in "Braveheart" and many films, notably as Angus MacLeod in "Highlander."
He also appeared in "Trainspotting" and "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe."

One Track Mind: U2, "New Year's Day" (1983)
"Old Lang Syne," this will never be. It doesn't have the required sentimentality. No, U2's "New Year's Day" is a political song, but a special one in that — like the best political songs — it started out as a love song

Mama, you left me so early
Things are not so clear for me
It was very dawn...
You left me without any reason.
I longed for you so much
Your love and tender touch
Growing up without you is not easy
Living home only aunt, papa and me.
When things aredon't treat wellto me
I shall say....
"Mama, hope you're here sitting beside me..."

She spent five years working for Glasgow's 'A' Division, and met her husband through her training at Tulliallan Police College. She left the force after the birth of her first child, and later worked for Glasgow City Council as a media officer.
She went on to study at the Glasgow University Creative Writing Masters Degree, graduating in 2003 with an MLitt. A two-book deal with Hodder & Stoughton followed, with her first book, The Twilight Time, being published in 2008.
She still lives in Glasgow with her husband and two daughters. In 2009 she won the Best New Scottish Writer Award at the Scottish Variety Awards.

- Proof Of Life - Hardback
The girl in the foyer could not hear them, could not possibly have heard Anna, or know that she was there through two thick doors, but her pale neck flexed and her head came up, longer and higher as her profile turned, as her face took form to stare directly at the camera. And Anna's life, her future, froze.
- Shadowplay - Hardback
When Anna Cameron is promoted to Chief Inspector and moved to a new division, it should be a turning point for her. But if she thought having a female boss would make things easier, she'd reckoned without the fearsome 'JC' Hamilton.
- This Is Where I Am - Paperback
So we walked in the freezing night air, my daughter weeping into my neck, and me trying to shelter her inside my own thin coat. Glasgow. A city of colour and contrast. A place where two worlds collide, and are changed forever when the Scottish Refugee Council assigns Deborah Maxwell to act as Somali refugee Abdi's new mentor.
- The Twilight Time - Paperback
Anna Cameron is a new Sergeant in the Flexi Unit. On her first day she discovers she'll be working with her ex, now married with a child. In at the deep end emotionally after many years without him, she's also plunged headlong into the underworld of Glasgow's notorious Drag - the haunt of working girls, drug dealers and sad, seedy men.
