I had her to the vet and she just said Pepper had yeast infection, I had somestuff to clean her ears everyday and put in some drops. Its almost like getting worse since I started that....I think the U of Michigan has a vet college. My daughter had her horse up there twice...I’ll talk to her about where exactly to go....thanks...

Sorry, I tried to get back to you and FR seemed to be unresponsive. I was going to say that my dog has been to several specialists at the vet hospital (Mizzou in my case), including for cancer, a chronic eye condition, and back surgery, and I have been happy with all the care and their thoroughness.
thanks for the info...When FR goes down I get to clean house, don’t know if thats good or bad...:O)
