It has been quite a while since I posted about Ellie my gorgeous girl who moved in nearly two years ago. But that is a good thing as there hasn't been much to tell. Her ear infections have become less but today I have had to take her to the vet as she has been shaking her head and rubbing it on the carpet. Thinking she had another ear infection the vet said she has a lot of ear wax which means she may need a washout which means an anaesthetic. She was reluctant to give me more antibiotics and suggested we go back next week for an ear swab to see what is going on.
The poor girl also had her anal glands done and the vet said they were like balloons.
She is currently sleeping off her traumatic morning but still a happy girl. She shakes off whatever happens to her.
Thank you to the rescue and supporters for helping me look after her ears we really appreciate it. More updates soon.

Good to hear about Ellie and pleased all is well with her apart from her ears and anal glands of course. I hope her ears are better soon, thanks for the update.

It was good to hear news of Ellie but sorry she has ear problem, and had had a traumatic morning at the vets. Am sure she felt better after her sleep. She sounds a lovely girl.

Re: Ellie supported dog
Funny, I'd been wondering about Ellie then saw your post.
Hope her ears are settling and she gets a long respite before the next flare up,
