    My apologies for not answering sooner, just got home from work….😉 the olive oil worked like a dream… 👍👍 I didn‘t use much, since I read it could be hard on tummies, so just slathered a few drops on my fingers and massaged it in.. the biggest chunk came off, then the rest overnight… 😊 Thank you...

    Hi, everyone… hope your week is starting off well… :) I have a 2-year old indoor/outdoor tabby who has some kind of hard clay/pebble mix stuck between two of his toes… I was able to cut a bit around the lump with my embroidery scissors, and got some of it off…at this point I’m getting too close...

    Recurring Ear Infections - Alternatives?

    I'm using Avena Sativa ear cleaner that the vet recommended, and then also Burrow's Oil as needed... as I mentioned, the cleaning is down to around bi-weekly and he's definitely much more comfortable... I will look into the LID food this week... thanks for the suggestion!

    Recurring Ear Infections - Alternatives?

    Hi again, everyone! Just wanted to update you on Buddy's progress... the cultures on both ears came back negative for both fungal and bacterial infection, so the next step was to look at possible food allergies... the vet said to keep Buddy on as few protein sources (preferably just one) to...

    Recurring Ear Infections - Alternatives?

    Thank you all so much for your replies! We are heading back to the vet on Saturday, and I will ask them to culture for yeast and see what that turns up... as for the possible secondary systemic disorder, any hints/clues what this might have been with others, and/or what kind of lab work might...

    Recurring Ear Infections - Alternatives?
