Don,
you might want to find a Reiki Master who works with pets for
help. Another
route would be to get in touch with a good healer. Star
Fuentes gets
my vote. I attended one of her classes in New York City.
At the end,
she went around the room touching students on their head.
She touched
my head for less than a hot minute and my meditations have
gotten better.
Her's a link for Star:

Thanks, Marc. I
didn't know Reikis sometimes worked on animals... there are some RM's nearby;
I'll check with them. I also thought about trying an ear candle treatment....
might help (????).

Don trust me, don't
use all that Cosmic jazz on your dogs, it's cruel. You'll just prolong
their suffering. Do a T4 and T3 thyroid test. If it's low, get the dog
on thyroid medication and that should clear up ear infections and any other
thyroid problems that might manifest. If thyroid is normal, then you can
try a hypoallergenic diet, usually Lamb and rice is best. I can help you
on this as well since I tested a dog for food allergies once. It's a slightly
complicated process not worth going into here unless you have eliminated
all other possibilities. By the way Don if your dog is low in thyroid it
can lead to many more serious problems down the road such as weight
problems, skin problems, even epileptic seizures. Chronic ear problems
could just be a first symptom of Hypothyroidism which you definitely want
to nip in the bud.
MD... in any case I will have the thyroid tested. FYI, lamb and
rice is what I feed her all the time. When the vet initially suggested
allergies, we put her on a fish based diet for about 6 weeks and there
was no improvement. Tried every kind of ear drops imaginable, some helped
a bit but nothing for long. Even did high powered human drops for 20 days
at $200.... but no benefit. The ear-resection surgery helped also.... not
as bad as it used to be but still there, all the time. I suspect she has
had it for years and maybe why her previous owners got rid of her. I rescued
her a few years ago and otherwise she seems healthy. The vet guesstimates
she's somewhere between 8-10 years old.
Thanks,
Don
