Update: Twinkies vet appt

for anyone who wants to know about how his appt today went keep reading...
a little over a month ago i noticed his right ear becoming really red & him picking at it, i was worried like anyother pet owner, i watched to see if it got better but it didnt, so i made an appt today, his last appt was when he was 7 months old we got him neutured & shots that were going to be due for his 1 year, now almost 3 yrs he was due for 4 vaccines which he recieved 3 shots & 1 administered through nose, during the exam his temp was taken (102, which is normal on a hot day for dogs) his weight 7.1 pds (suprisingly his weight is great for his size, i thought he was overweight since i feed him what i eat plus dog food, relax only foods i know are safe lol) & his teeth were checked the dr explained to me that he has 2 baby teeth still which means that he doesnt have adult teeth that will grow in there and replace them (it happens sometimes) but i have to take extra care of those baby teeth so soon i will start brushing his teeth daily. also the dr talked about "prevenative tests" i was talked into it, (wish i wouldve waited till next yr to do it since it was costly on top of the already expensive appt) they performed a urinalysis which checks for kidney stones (he didnt have any, & i didnt think he would). anyways on to the point HIS EAR! they did a deep cleaning before they could swap the ear and check for bacteria... he has a severe bacterial infection of the ear "otitis" he was perscribed antibiotic drops which i will administer twice a day for 14 days, (with high bacterial infections theres always a chance that the bacteria can be resistant to antibiotics) so in 2 weeks i will go back in for a check up to see if they worked, i really hope they do! i will keep you ladies updated...

Twinkie Review: Pedi Paws

the incredible pet trimmer

• rotating filing head gently files your pets nails
• battery powered requires 2 "C" batteries
• wont crack, splinter, or break nails
• fast, easy & gentle

my experience & how i use it:
i agree with everything this product says it does above, i have been using it since april 2010 every 2 1/2 months on my Chihuahua and it is a blessing, i couldnt bring myself to use the traditional pet method nail clipper they look like they would hurt, so i would recommend any dog owner to use this product, this is sold at most places that advertise as seen on tv products.
the approx time it took me to trim all 4 paws was 20 minutes, including breaks for a small treat to keep calm.
there is a noticable smell from the nail being trimmed similar to the smell of a burnt hair
i empty the shavings after each paw is finished, i think it works better that way
there is a noise that at first might scare your dog but over time will get used to
each time i use this my dog is better with it, he does get fidgity (i mean who wants there hand forced) but thats what the treats help with when he gets like that i give him some and continue by the end hes laying over my arm accepting it.

ive used a few different treats with him in the past, i find this the best, i break the stick into small pieces, easy to give him during
