I took Bruna in for her annual checkup last week. I explained to the doc that she had been rubbing her ear a lot and scooching her butt. She got her shots and he checked her out and her a n a l sacs were impacted, so he fixed that and put medicine in.

We arranged for a dental this morning and he said he would do the sacs again while she was under and check her ear. Well, the ear was impacted with thick nasty hard stuff that he had to dig out. And he discovered a mess underneath. Her eardrum is punctured and was full of yuck!

My poor baby. Now she has to be on antibiotics for awhile and go back several times to possibly be sedated and her ear cleared again.

Her sacs still had grainy material in them so those got cleaned again and more medicine in the sacs.

Her gum line is really bad in a few places in the back from when she was in the puppy mill, but he cleaned her teeth and found that all the teeth otherwise are healthy.

I so hope she hasn't been in a lot of pain with her ear!
