New ear cleaner for cats and dogs--

Just thought I'd share with y'all....

In January we coaxed in a tiny crying stray, who'd been going between our
porch and the neighbors for a day.  We nursed her back to health.  We had
planned to adopt her out but she and our youngest have had so much fun
knocking the stuffing out of her since quarantine ended, that we can not
separate them now.

She did have ear mites and, consequently, developed a nasty boulder of wax
that was attached to her ear drum.  The vet was concerned, since it was
attached, and tried a new product that they'd just gotten --a two-step
process--"Oti Foam" and "Oti Rinse".  It got quite a bit of it dissolved at
first use right in the office so she sent it home with us to continue using
it.  When we returned two weeks later the doc was ecstatic and said she was
going to "buy stock in that" one, it worked so well. My guess is if you
google or ask your vet about it you can learn more (or tell your vet about
it).  I have no interest in the company, whatever it is...not advertising,
just sharing good resources, with everyone here who might need it. We've
continued it a couple times a week for 3 weeks...go back tomorrow for follow
up and spaying....to be sure the cilia in the ear canal recover completely
and start doing their job again.

Cheers!

Good job on the ear cleaning.
And another job well done on the Web site.
Cleo is a real cutie-pie, and I can tell she
loves her new home.

Thanks to both of you for the kind words.

Now we're just spending our days and nights keeping Buffy and Cleo from
ripping Cleo's new incision open.  She was spayed on Friday and it kept her
down for about, oh,  one hour after we got her home.  These rules about no
running,  jumping or rabbit-kicking are difficult for her to understand.

Anyone have a kitty straight-jacket? ;-)

Hmmm, my Deetoo basically laid around for a day and a half after being
spayed, except for a few trips to the litter box.

Yeah, our Buffy laid around a lot after hers, too and that's what we were
expecting...at least a day or two, but not so with this one...Cleo's a real
pistol.  She was challenging Buffy to "duels" by the next day.  I think the
only  reason they weren't going at it that night was becasue every time she
got near Buffy, Buffy sniffed her, smelled the odor of the vet and starting
hissing and spitting at her.  The next morning Buffy left a little saliva on
my when she was "bathing" me so I rubbed it on the kitten and Buffy quit
hissing.  Within a couple of hours they were chasing and rolling. Better go
try to figure out how to separate them so I can get some sleep....
