Yeah I heard dogs with floppy ears are more prone to ear problems too. They claim that when they stick up they are supposed to air out better, but I left my dogs ears floppy and just clean them out regularly.

This was a cocker spaniel, so not only were they floppy but really heavy as well with all that curly hair. Never had a problem with his after I started using the Listerine, makes sense though. It kills bacteria and stuff in your mouth, and its got a lot of alcohol in it which mixes with water and lets it evaporate fast. Just like putting alcohol in your ear after swimming to get water out. Even that Swim-EAR stuff you buy is mostly alcohol.

This is the first time he's had these issues. I clean his ears after I shower him. I took him to the vet a few weeks ago and got meds for his right ear, that one cleared up just fine now it's his left ear and I've been doing the same thing with the meds but it's just not helping. Today the vet packed his ear with some meds and I have to take him back in 2 weeks. I hope it clears up and doesn't come back.

The vet said cropping is better because they can breath.

Ummm ... I never put the water on his head tho. I always just wipe his head with a damp cloth.

Too damned hot down here for one of those. It would be miserable most of the year.

I'd shave him, or give him a pool.

Would have been funny if he'd just turned around and chomped it in one big bite.

Okay... so I am late to this thread and I have good news and bad news.

My 3 boys, 2 of which I put down . The first one is a Sheltie named Hamlet and he is the first one I put him down 3 years ago. The second one is a Jindo named Max and I put him down this past Monday April 15, 2013. The third one is a Chihuahua named Casanova and he is the last one of the bunch who is still with me.

P.S.: No clue how to resize them so they're not ridiculously huge.
