Been a long time and have been struggling with Brutus and ear infections. The week before his neuter he was at the vet for his vaccines and a left ear infection. Ear was treated and then his right ear became infected. Used the tri-otic for the right ear with no success. Back to the vet and was found to have both yeast and cocci bacteria in his ears. The left ear once again became infected. New medications..... 2 meds, 1 hour apart, twice a day for 21 days. A nightmare of cleaning and struggling with Brutus! Back to the vet again... because after a week, no improvement. Cleaned ears, exam, a shot for swelling and back to the 2 meds. Wow.... is this ever going away??????
Some new news..... started Brutus on L-Theanine. 100 Mg twice a day. L-Theanine is an amino acid found in tea leaves, and is used to reduce mental and physical stress. It raises dopamine levels, and is believed to raise serotonin levels. It is also being studied to determine its ability to promote greater concentration and alertness. It should be used for at least 60 days. It is marketed as being especially helpful for dogs with fear-related behaviors, especially in the presence of other dogs or people, and their studies have found at 60% reduction in the intensity of anxiety symptoms. Hopeful that I will see some good results in a few weeks.
