4/20 Arnie AMPS 347

Increased dose to 1.75 (temporarily) and he has a vet appointment at 4:30PM. I will ask about getting the ear wash and definitely some more AB's and as soon as I see the numbers start to drop I will reduce the dose. I am off tonight and tomorrow so I will be here with him most of the time. I just don't want to see him hit the 400's next. I don't think I could take that! :cry:

 

(((Bob, Arnie))) glad your home and going back to the vet, can't stand seeing these numbers. I know it has to be upsetting for you. Hang in there will check for update later.

 

Re: 4/20 Arnie AMPS 347 +6 280

Just back from the vets. They cleaned a LOT of black gunk out of both ears and gave me a new stronger ointment which unfortunately does contain steroids and may effect his BG numbers but it could not be avoided. Also got some ear wash that I can use once or twice a week if the gunk starts to come back. They showed me how to clean and wash his ears using the wash, q-tips, and cotton balls. Hopefully now this will clear up the infection and we can get his numbers back down to normal. I know I am feeling better about it! :razz:

 

Glad you got more meds and the wash. I could always tell Princess had something going on because when I would pat her head she would shake it, like her ears were itchy. I still clean them regularly for maintenance. I guess we can only work on one problem at a time.

 

glad to read that the vet went well. I hope the new AB take care of Arnie infection, and that his numbers come on back down. ((((Bob and Arnie))))

 

Good to hear your feeling better about it. Those cute lil' Arnie ears.

 

Glad to hear you got stronger Ab's .....feel better Arnie!! cat_pet_icon
