Boomer Update post 11

[Yolanda]

One of my foster dogs Boomer is headed to surgery this mooring. His right ear is totally closed due to calcification from years and years of ear infection. The surgery Ear Ablation is his only hope but is very expensive. I will be doing a Help Me piece for DRNA later to day for him

Please send many many :bigrayz::bigrayz::bigrayz: for Boomer.

Aw poor Boomer. It's hard trying to imagine how miserable all those ear infections have been. :bigrayz::bigrayz::bigrayz: for Boomer's surgery!

[areese]

lots and lots of :bigrayz::bigrayz::bigrayz: for poor Boomer. I can only imagine the pain he has gone through with the chronic ear infections, poor boy.

Lots and lots of :bigrayz::bigrayz: and :pray: for Boomer. I have seen his picture on the DRNA website, and was actually interested in him until adult supervision stepped in, i.e. the wife said three is enough for now. He reminds me of my Dumbledore, even down to having a skin condition. I will be interested in sending a donation to help him.

Tons of :bigrayz::bigrayz::bigrayz: for Boomer, Yo. That's the way that Jules was headed when I got her. Both her ears were totally crusted over and no amount of antibiotics, lavaging, ear drops etc. could clear out the infection. Finally, during her splenectomy, Laura cleaned her ears out COMPLETELY and she came home clean for the first time since I got her. Now she's on Surolan drops every day, and I clean them (she's getting a lot better now that it doesn't hurt) every 3-4 days. So Boomer will be feeling SO much better when this is done. I'll get Jules to talk to him :).

I hope the surgery helps him out. Ear infections are so painful.

I found his donation page at the DRNA website, and I have sent a donation through paypal.

UPDATE.

So I go up to the surgeons office, after I referred up to him by my general vet, and he tells me the ear is not totally closed and surgery is not needed yet. He takes me over to see the Dermatologist and they say yes Boomer ears are calcified but not closed however are full of yeast and bacteria and they want to try him on medicines for three weeks. After the three weeks they are going to do a new laser treatment. Still expensive but not nearly as much as surgery would of been.

He was not a happy little guy and had to be muzzled for them to look at the ears. So we treat his ears and then go back again. Surgery is still an option but we are hoping otherwise.

[areese]

:bigrayz::bigrayz::bigrayz: that the treatment works!!

[lotsadox]

:bigrayz::bigrayz::bigrayz: that the treatment works!

BTW, I had surgery on my ears years ago because I had the same sort of calcification also caused by having a lot of ear infections as a child.
