Gizmo had an ear infection when he was a very young pup. I don't think Chis are prone to ear infections like floppy-eared dogs are (such as cocker spaniels). But, they do get them sometimes. My vet told me to make sure to keep the ears clean. He gave me a gentle ear cleaning solution. I clean my dogs' ears everytime I clip their nails, just about once per month. Gizmo has not gotten another infection since that one. You may want to clean Katydid's more often since she has gotten two before. There's a cleaning solution called V.E.T. that works well. I think it stands for Veterinary Ear Treatment solution. Stefanie

If so is there any way I can help her not get them ? My Katydid has one again for the second time. The vet put her on 3 different meds. including 1 for pain. It's so sad when she doesn't feel well.
