    I would but my Dolly is very sick. She has dementia and is getting worse every day. I have a very hard decision to make and I am having a hard time making it. When—-when to give her relief from the confusion she is in. (This picture is from a year or so ago). She is nearly 13 years old. I thought I would have her a couple of more years.

    We have an even year old cocker spaniel that has been pretty healthy his whole life. For the last year he has recurring chronic ear infections. Right now he is taking 4 oral meds for allergies and antibiotics. The vet has been packing his ears with antibiotic ointment every two weeks for the last 6 weeks. The smell from his ears is terrible! Does anyone have any suggestions to help Smokey out? Thanks!
