Dog got jewelry in ear, no vet money. What can I do at home?

Unfortunately no, Horu does have to see a vet for his ears to be examined considering they haven't healed. I would give you some resources that may help you afford another vet visit. You can see if your vet accepts payment plans, if there is a low cost clinic in your area, or you can apply for Care Credit online. There is also an organization called Red Rover that give grants for treatment of sick animals, and you can see if you qualify for one of their grants. Best Friends also has a list of resources that offer financial assistance on their website. http://www.humanesociety.org/animals/resources/tips/trouble_affording_pet.html?credit=web_id91754962 https://www.redrover.org https://www.carecredit.com http://bestfriends.org/resources/financial-aid-pets http://lessonsfromaparalyzeddog.com/when-pet-owners-cant-afford-veterinary-bills/ I hope this helps you afford a vet!

I am sorry your pets aren't doing well. This is a common area to scratch with flea or food allergies. It is a good idea to have all of the dogs on a good quality monthly flea preventative. Some dogs will also require a special diet and maybe even special medications, like Apoquel, for continued itching. It will be hard to rehome a dog with an undiagnosed medical issue. You may start by talking with your vet about rescue groups or no-kill shelters in your area that could help with finding a new home for Gizmo.

Oh my. Poor guy. Unfortunately this ear has a hole through it and is badly infected. He needs to see a doctor for proper care of this ear and prescribed antibiotics as well as have suturing of the laceration. This cannot be treated at home with much success. For now you can try cleaning it with Betadine diluted 50:50 with warm water to help prevent further infection, but please schedule an appt with your vet right away or if he does no belong to anyone in particular, then he should be surrender to an animal shelter so that they can use their resources there to try and save this pets ear and eye. I wish you all the best moving forward and hope that you can Kata moving forward. Best wishes and take care.

Do not try to get anything out of her ear at home. You can push it farther in and possibly puncture her eardrum. Your veterinarian can look into her ear with an otoscope, see exactly what it is, and determine the best way to get it out.

Any growth needs to be checked and analysed as there are many conditions and types of tumors that could look like that. take her to the vet, they will perform a fine needle aspiration on the growth and send it to the lab for analysis. when the result comes, the vet will advise what needs to be done according to the diagnosis. If money is an issue please contact a dog charity in your area of living, they can help with costs of treatment in many cases. Many vets also have payment plans, and there is also a credit company that will land you money toward vet bills ( https://www.carecredit.com/vetmed/) .

Hi, thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Without knowing exactly why the pack was placed to begin with or what the pack entails, I would highly recommend following up as-planned. Your vet wants to recheck whatever is going on, most likely, and if it is a bandage change on something painful, Spike may need sedation to help him be more comfortable for the procedure. It could also be that the pack needs to back replaced. I hope whatever is going on that Spike recovers quickly!

As you have already said, the blood you are seeing on Khloe's ear could be due to multiple reasons. We could be dealing with self inflicted bleeding due to chronic itching. If this was the case, there is most like an infectious or allergic process taking place that is causing this type of behavior. If you don't go to the vet, you will not be able to verify the presence of absence of an infection under a microscope. There are however several over the counter ear washes and flushes that can be used with antimicrobial / antifungal properties. However, be aware that the use of these products before the ear is inspected for a punctured ear drum can have significant consequences. Should you decide to use them, I would recommend at least a week of use. There should be directions on the bottle. If the bleeding was caused by trauma from a dog bite, systemic antibiotics should likely be administered to prevent and/or treat any infection. I would fashion Khloe with an e-collar to prevent any further damage to the ear that she might inflict out of discomfort. You can obtain one of these at a pet store, veterinarian, or even create a home made one (look for a video on Youtube). I hope you can help Khloe feel better soon!
