Howllo Fellow Hounds and Koots lovers!

I just heard from my gal and she said that Kooter was getting depressed and seemed very tired. He walked out with her and her female dogs with no problem. Instead of walking him to the van, she had someone else load her her dogs and she took Kooter to the field and then she ran with him. He ran with her and he perked up. She then did the hands on test. She pulled his tail, (gently) pulled his ears, (gently) and squeezed each of his paws. The only problem she had was when she pulled his left ear and he did a slight yelp. She said that both ears were dirty and smelled, but not bad. She rubbed his ears and he just did the moaning thing.

So, based upon this, I am going to take my ear cleaning stuff tomorrow and try to clean his ears to see if he tolerates it. If it is bad, I will take him to my vet and let them do it. If he need meds I will get them for him. I am also picking up his medical records tomorrow from his vet. So, I will have his complete history.

If I need to take him to a vet for his ears I do not want to take him to his regular vet. I want my trusted vet to look at him. Kooter might be too scared to go to his vet and I am not going to put him through that since he has been at the pound for a few days. My vet is in a home like setting and the people are very sweet. I love it because it used to be a child care facility and dogs feel like they are walking into a home.

So…….Koots had a good checking out today! I would say he got a great grade!

I will update everyone tomorrow. GO KOOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ROOT FOR KOOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

More updates Later………Cat, Chaps, Emma and Kooter!
