I was hunting cut corn for pheasant with my 2 yr old Golden Ret. He just kind of keeled over and I thought he was dying. Carried him back to the car and sat a moment and he seemed to recover a bit. That was on Sunday and headed for the vet Monday morning. He was diagnosed with "Ear Mites", given some meds and drops and we were sent home. I determined that he got the mites from a little runt yellow lab that my boys rescued to be his "buddy". All said and done, the rescue lab cost me more than 4 times what the golden ret. cost just due to vet bills owing to the conditions she was taken from.-Mike
I'd be looking for another vet.
