Yikes, I'm Getting Lasered!!!

Hi everyone, I've been getting laser treatments for well over a year now. The treatments are meant to relieve the tightness in my chest, repair some soft tissue damage and help relieve a bit of arthritis in my front legs.

And of course,  there's my chronic itchy ears. My ears are really long and  sometimes moisture gets trapped in there and they get red and itchy. And because my rear legs don't work very well, scratching is not an option so my mom and dad will squirt in Surolan to relieve the redness and  itchiness. 

But the laser is really nice and doesn't leave ointment in my ears. The laser heats things up and kills the bacteria. My friend Gail, who is a registered vet comes once a month and does five areas on my furry body.

Let's do my ears- "Take 1". 
Dr. Gail does both ears, the "outside" flap first.


Let's do my ears - "Take 2".
Then Gail does the inside or "under the flap" and shines the laser down my ear canal.


Then she does my back.


A little to the right please.


Left leg and ankle.


Right leg and ankle.


Feeling fine now, thank you Auntie Gail. See you in a month.
