Sad Brynner.

Hello all,
Its Brynner here.

I`ve been having a few problems with my ears and had to go to my vet, they gave me some tablets to take , I do not like them and kept spitting them out, my Mum sprinkles them on my food now, I have to eat my food, I am a growing lad after all. The medicine is s,posed to make me drowsy but that only lasts for a while, I`m hungrier and very thirsty since starting my meds, my vet says that is normal, I get lots more drinks, Mum is always filling up my waterbowl but guess what!!!!!!! NO extra food,even when I beg and offer my paw.


I`ve been having tablets for 2wks now but my ears were so bad and the ear canals were blocking up, I had to go into the clinic for further treatment under anasthetic, I went in on Monday, one of my eardrums has perforated but it should heal in time, Mum has to wash them out daily with special liquid, that is fun and we play chase and catch for quite a while, plus I get lots of massage which I like.
The vet says I need treatment for a long while, possibly all my life, they have sent swabs away to be checked and we are waiting on the results…
I am feeling better now and I think I am a brave lad, plus I have a posh blue dressing on my leg to prove it…


Mum says “Thank goodness for Pet Insurance” but has still stopped my pocketmoney…..

Aaaarh poor Brynner, he's such a beautiful boy,glad he's feeling a bit better now :-)
Our Fudge is on medication that makes him hungry all the time too, as if labs aren't greedy enough, he's like a walking dustbin,lol, if it doesn't move eat it.

Simbad, our Sarah's chocolate lab has been on a strict diet, to lose weight, he had a problem with a leg and the vet said his weight was too much for him, so diet he has had to do, well he, like all labs loves food, the other day Kevin was out walking him and they saw another dog walker who was encouraging his dog with treats, Sarah and Kevins dog ran off over to this random person and sat down and immediately offered his paws up and begged for treats also. We could not stop laughing, think he must have thought the poor dog was starved. He did give him a treat, but Kevin was sooooooo embarassed. lol. very funny they say never work with animals and kids don't they.

Lincslass hope Brynner feeling better soon, he is a lovely dog.

oh Brynner --you are so brave...
my english setter had leg problems-and ear problems--- some genetic and some just 'setterish'!--- and she had a special diet food that filled her up without adding calories ( and she never did stop being accident prone!)

You are such a handsome dog, Brynner, with that very fetching blue dressing on as well. Lucky you, to have Mum giving you a massage each day. It won't be long until you get your results, I'm sure you'll be fine, just keep taking the tablets! : o ))

Poor Brynner - still good job he has a loving Mum like you Lincslass.

Shame about his ears - does it affect his hearing ?

Poor dog - just keep on taking the tablets Brynner.

Hope he gets betterer and betterer!!

Brynner! I have to have pills to for my thyroid problem, after my Mum pops one in my mouth I push them to the side, and spit it out when she isn't looking. Tip from Basil the cat

Brynner says thankyou all, the vet is not sure about his hearing, personally I think it is selective, a bit like a naughty child,lol.
Olive, Morgan my daughters choc/lab is also on a strict diet, except that is when he is faster than us and manages to steal something, he can at times move like greaselightning, we feed both boys on Purina, Morgans is Purina Light and I have to admit it has made a big difference to his weight.......

Teds I`m laughing here, Brynner already knows that trick, we even tried holding onto him whereby forcing him to swallow,it didn`t work, he spat one out after a full 5mins of holding it in his mouth, they have to be crushed on his food and I stand guard,lol...

i use to sqash some bread round the pill sue, just a small piece to cover it, then say "look what mummy has for you" lol then up in the air and sheba would jump up and swollow it whole haha

Lol know what you mean Oliveoil the post lady who we pass on our walk has started giving Fudge a biscuit every morning, trouble is now anyone in a flourescent jacket and he's off,lol, bin men, workmen, amazing how fast he can move when foods involved, think he can smell her from half a mile away :-) I look out for her too as she gives me sweets,lol.

Aw poor Brynner, and no pocket money either!!! Rocky sends woofs to get better soon.
(nicely written blog Brynners mum by the way!)

Aww poor Brynner! Is he a lab or retriver? I have a lab guide dog pup and a little square of cheese with the tablet pushed inside works every time as it is such a treat :)

Thankyou Sk.
He is a flatcoat retriever Laura,18mths old.....

Poor Brynner. I hope you're feeling better now. It must have been very unpleasant for you to have all that treatment and I hope you won't need much more in the future.
Blodyn sends you a big Purrrrrrrrrrr ! :)
