German Shorthaired Pointer Outta Commission! Update!
« on: September 18, 2011, 12:41:12 AM »
So here i am on deployment and i get a email from my fiance asking me if this has ever happened to my little girl Annie Oakley, which she is talking about her nose in the pictures and its around the outside of her ears aswell. i have never seen this before either and ive tried to research every means possible to figure it out, I'm in another country and freaking out cuz my Bird dog is hurt and all the vet can do is tell us they have no idea what is wrong with her and they have never seen anything like this before so they send her home with antibiotics and steroids, 400 dollars later and still a bird dog outta commission for the up coming season that i been looking forward to get back to when i return from deployment. I'm not trying to sound selfish cuz the main picture is that she gets better but darn the luck i tell ya. and if anyone might know what that looks like please chime in.

Kyle,

Sorry to hear about your dog. What Vet are you using?

She took her to banfield there in everett she said by the mall, its the only one who could get her in at the time, i feel like i got cheated. almost makes me wonder if them vets where text book doctors cuz there has to be a way to figure out what that is on her nose, and theres not much she coulda got in around our house unless one of the neighbors did something to her.

Banfield Vets are terrible. We've had awful experience using them.

Sons are a heritage from the LORD, children a reward from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are sons born in one's youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their enemies in the gate. - Psalm 127:3-5

FYI, we used Banfield Vets for many many years with no complaints. Got great care for our pets. Our dog lived to 18 1/2 years. No BS, 18+ years and finally had to put him down.
 
Keep us posted on your dog! Hopefully something simple like an alergic reaction to something that she just scratched a bunch...

Hmmm, hadn't thought of that.  Curious to find the cause.

i have a german shorthair as well. you may try takeing her to the silver lake veterinary clinic. i would have your fiance do some research and get a second opinion. i used to be stationed in everett when i was in the navy. it looks like it may be a allergic reaction to something. hope she gets better soon.

ill be sure to update everyone as soon as we find out what it is, and if they cant figure it out I'm definitely gonna get a second opinion, i just cant understand how its on her nose and around the inside of her ears and down her body in a few spots.

+1 for the Pilchuck vet hospital.  Dr Duke down there is very good with hunting dogs.

  BTW, years ago the Silver Lake vet referred me to Pilchuck when they could not diagnose an inner ear infection that was paralyzing my lab.  Pilchuck saved that dog for me.

+2 on pilchuck vet. My folks had a Shar Pei that they took good care of when it was having kidney problems. They know thier stuff.  :twocents:
