Yup. She's 12 1/2, general anesthesia is out of the question. We have discussed it. We'll just keep draining that fluid and try to keep her chronic ear infections in check and keep her comfortable.

Thanks, Kat.

not much else you can do
So sorry to 'hear' that Katya! My Fido had one once. They aspirated it, maybe ??? gave some steroids or something???, and it went away. Sometimes they're stubborn I guess.
$800 surgery? Wow. Hope they treat the infection. I read that head shaking is a primary cause. Fido hit his ear flap on the coffee table while shaking head.
IDK what to say other than 1) I sympathize as it's looks really scary but I guess it isn't that serious or uncommon and 2) I hope it clears up this time. Keep at it!
Fingers crossed and prayers for you and Hershey.

Right... I just don't want her to be in pain.

Thank you all for your kind words and wishes.

Hi snails.
$800 was for aspirations and cold laser and a couple of steroid injections (6 visits.) Surgery is much, much more than that.
Thanks, Atty!
Me?! ME??? Not visit???Is it my fault you don't stop and visit?
