First thing yesterday morning Joel and I took Zoe in to been seen by our NEW vet! Dr. Kathleen Ford, at Quail Point Veterinary Hospital, was fabulous! She knew right away what the problem was and set her on the road to recovery. Our OLD vet just shook his head and said, "well...I don't know what to tell you". NOT very helpful!
Dr. Ford gave Zoe a shot of cortisone for the itching and swelling and showed us how to clean her ears and how to put the medicated drops in. Zoe has a yeast infection in both ears. Wow, it really was that simple. If the swelling and itching returns within a week then she's allergic to her dog food. If the swelling and itching doesn't return for several weeks...then she has seasonal allergies. SERIOUSLY!! Why couldn't our other vet figure that out? It's so frustrating! Zoe ears have been SO bad...swollen, itchy, and full of sores...for way to long!
My sweet Zoe has already begun to shown signs of getting better and is returning to the Zoe that we know and LOVE!
** Yep, that's snow in the back of our truck :( Yesterday was the first snow storm of season **
