Glad to hear you dog is improving It sounds like taking away the things that they are chewing on certainly has helped, as well as the supliments. Another thought to consider though is the posibilites of food allergies. My girl Zayda gets colitis when she gets a food she is allergic to... When she hasn't snuck any treats and is only on her "safe" foods, then it clears up..... I can tell when she's been mooching treats 'cos she flares with the colitis - cheeky sod Good luck with sorting it out!! Dan

The Leo is just a particular brand of ear cleaner, with alcohol to dry the canal..... Asher has problems with his ears but, unfortunately a lot of it comes from the ear cleaner... He's alergic to the propolyne glycol they use as a carrier - it burns his skin...... This was added to by a grass seed and later on an infection!! We are now having to desensitise him to having things near his ears..... He's scared of bottles as they contain "scary burny stuff" for him..... We're working on it and he's getting better slowly! We clean them with tissues and are looking into the wipes (have to find ones with no propolyne glycol - which they don't list in the ingredients as its not and "active" ingredient, only a "carrier"). We have to put the cleaner in a bowl, as long as its not in the bottle he's a lot happier with it! poor little man, its hard work for all of us!! Dan
