Is kodhi doing better?

I doubt it Casey...he REALLY fights these ear drops. Theyre supposed to go in twice a day and most of it doesnt end up in his ear. I'm gonna take him back in soon and ask the vet how hes doing cuz I really can't tell. Thank you for asking!!! I love Loki's pics!!!

Thanks Jimmy. Let us know what the vet says!

He's probly gonna say "train your dog so that you can put simple ear drops in his ear"...but yeah Casey, I'll update

When the vet did the cleaning of the ear and put drops in, they took him to a seperate room for that, without me being with him. Vets take every precaution so I'm pretty sure they had him held down pretty good so that might be part of the issue...he's also been very "shy" (not the right word but my brain has been farting all day so thats the best I can come up with) about anyone getting anywhere near his ear so thats another part of it...the third part is that he is probly the most stubborn Husky I've ever had. He has pretty much stopped shaking his head so much, so I think thats a good sign.

Jimmy, try and do it ninja style, lol, hit one ear while he's sleeping, then the next, obviously you'll have to be on a stealth mission 4 times a day, but maybe that will work.

Ok, Renee...this is what I did yesterday, LOL...he LOVES his car rides, he lays in my lap with his head resting on the door with the window down so he can have the wind blow on his face, SO, last nite I thought "PERFECT", his ear is right there, when we pull back into the garage I'll just squeeze some drops in and be done. That DID NOT happen...before the lil bottle went flying thru the car, I DID manage to squeeze some drops (well, a good portion of the bottle) on him, but not in his ear, he has the most greasiest forehead right now.

I don't know if this will help, but when I had to put stuff in Loki's ears, I would put his leash on him and sit down in the kitchen chair. I would keep the leash tight so he didn't have room to back up. I would give him a treat and while he was busy with that, I got done what I needed too.

I will try that Casey, thank you!! he's not so much treat motivated though, but I can try and atleast see if I can get more in the ear, instead of everywhere else. I hope he won't get these things often.

My husband usually bear hugs Kenzi on the ground when I have to do it, but on the occasions that I have had to do her ears myself I usually get her sat down against the front of the couch between my legs. I cross my legs around her front and pin her against the couch, then wrap one arm under her chin to control her head and squirt the stuff in.

Yup...that sounds about right for husky grooming At least in this house.

Kohdi...this morning when I woke up...it was super cold and I don't think this boy wanted to get out of bed, haha.




           


       


         

Kohdi gets up like my husband!

Great series of pictures.

Haha. That's how I feel when I wake up some mornings.

Great pictures!

What a sleepy head, lol. I just love how his mask is, the black down the sides of his eyes....Thank you for sharing Jimmy, I always enjoy your pics of your two...

LOL Amy and Ashleigh Thank you!!!

Thank you Renee. The breeder described his father as a *clown*, I think Kohdi inherited that from him, haha. He's just a fun/funny dog...and when I think of a clown, the heavy make-up around the eyes comes to mind, so in a way, his markings are clownish too, haha. He doesnt get very many comments in here, but out on the street its the total opposite, people just love him and his look. And so do I

Did you finally tackle his ear infection? I have to admit Mishka is a more typical high end breed looking dog, many look like her. Where as Kohdi has a more unusual high end breed look. Both beautiful huskies for sure, but I prefer the unusual markings over the more typical, so as much as I find Mishka sweet and adorable, I love Kohdi and his unusual look....

Kohdi's ear is better...but it wasn't from the medicine they gave me to put on him, Renee. Kohdi was having no part of that and there was nothing I could do about it. He would let me clean it though, so thats what I did. I still have to take him to the vet sometime soon to see what he says, but to me it looks healed. Thank you for asking!!

Phone pics and I had my camera this time too!! but, I turned it on, ready to take pics and the lens retracted back in and the screen said "battery exhausted" anyways, here are pics of Kohdi tonite...Kohdi has been SO good with sharing toys and stuff with Mishka...however, plastic bottles he does not share, LOL

                                             



Mmmmmm, apple juice air tastes soooooooo good Mishka



"Mine, ALL mine"

 

^ This pic I REALLY wish I had my camera for. He looked SO beautiful...phone just didnt capture it

Oh Kodhi! Share with your sister! He is such a handsome boy!

LOL Casey...he honestly shares EVERYTHING with her...for whatever reason, these stupid plastic bottles he covets. Casey, the pic where he's licking the bottle, is a good example of their size difference, shes staying so tiny!!!

She's a mini! I would call her a dwarf but 'elf' just sounds cuter...pointed ears and all! But hey this is Kodhi's scrap book. Does Kohdi steal bottles too?

Haha, Mishka is a lil mini me husky

Kohdi LOVES plastic bottles, water isnt my thing but I drink lots of Gatorade and he'll take the bottle before I'm even done with it, LOL. About the only thing he likes as much as plastic bottles is those husk things that fall off palm trees...LOVES them!!! sometimes when we're walking, he'll find one annd we'll be crossing the intersection and he'll drop it, hop on with his front paws and ride it across the street like a skateboard, hahaha. Hes funny.

Aw Jimmy such cute and funny pics, lol. Bottles yum

Maybe Mishka is a late bloomer, give her time, maybe she'll catch up.

Kohdi is so handsome...and looks full of the ol' scratch, too. Must be fun having both of them

Thank you Renee!!! Im not worried about Mishka's size so much anymore...the smaller she is, the less damage she can do

Thank you Amy!!! they are fun...but sometimes a lot of work. But totally worth it too
