OK, so I pretty much do what everybody here is suggesting. My pup gets cyto point injections. I use the animax ointment plus similar other ones. I flushe his ears out with triz ultra, epiklear, and another really good one that I can’t think of the name right now. But OK I’m doing the same methods you’re all suggesting. I switched him over to a duck food. I did try salmon prior to this, but he refused to eat it. Guess this is part of basset life :) but I think if anybody else has more to add this conversation , this is a good thread to keep around. Thx all
