Good morning all,

I have a two year old yellow lab that has one ear that got infected. I have been washing it out with a washcloth and warm soapy water. I have even put using a cotton ball and peroxide to reduce the puss. I read some where that you can use a"baby snot sucker outer thing" to squirt some kind of solution in his ear. What kind of solution should I use. Thanks!!

His elbow. Sorry, I had to do it..but gsp is right. Oti Clear works very well. When my dog had ear issues I would lay her down on her side and squirt the stuff in her ear. I would almost fill the ear canal with solution then massage the entire area around the base of the ear to dislodge all the gunk that is trapped down in there. I would wipe it away and do it again. Pretty gross the stuff that comes out of there.

This close to the hunting season I wouldn't waste any time and I would take the dog into the vet. I was there two Saturdays ago with mine and she is now on antibiotics(clavomax) and ear flush, and medicated ear drops. The bill was $153, but her ear infection went from a little discolored wax in her ear to a open sore from scratching and an earful of gunk in two days so we brought her in. The problem has gone away in 5 days of meds and flushing.

The other nice thing about Oti-Clear is that it works great as preventative measure as well. I use it every day we are at the cabin and a couple days after we are home and have only had one mild ear infection this year compared to 3-4 bad infections a year previously.

Hey just wanted to thank all of you for the Great advise. My little Jack is on the road to recovery. I got so of that Oti Clear and it seems to be clearing things up for him. Boy that sure is fun trying to get him to hold still wile you pour it in his ear. One thing I learned is make sure to do this outside or when he shakes after you are done you will end up with it all over you walls. LOL The wife sure did not like that. hehe. Anyway Thanks all!!!

Hey thanks!

I think so too.

I sure got lucky with this one. We got him for $50. He was a hunting accident. I love watching him work the field. He has a hell of a nose. I don't have him super trained but I also wanted a dog that loves to play ball. Sure can't wait tell Pheasant season. I just married into a great hunting farm! YEA!!

And use the cleanser/rinse on a regular basis...particularly if the dog has been in water, rain, etc. Rinse it and keep it clean, before an infection sets in. My golden had an infection, and I got some other kind of ointment to use in his ear...I will check on the name when I get home and post later...

It's called 'Zymox'...it's an enzyme solution. My dog had a pretty bad ear infection, and this cleared it right up...it's good stuff...

You probably need to get it from your vet...I don't think it'll be available in any pet shop...

I too use the Oti product but it doesn't clear up the infection as fast as hydrogen proxide. I take a large syringe, squirt a couple of CC's and rub the ear well. After he shakes it out, I swab it with a paper towel. Do this for a couple of days and your are good to go. Once a moth, when I give my heartworm, I use the Oti or an earwash I buy at Mill's. Note: I don't use the hydrogen on a regular basis. Only when it is infected. The Dog

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      Problems with Yetti

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
